After offering a sneak peak last week, Muse has expanded plans for its forthcoming North American tour. Today, the U.K. based outfit announced 14 additional dates, which include stops in Chicago, Texas, and Canada. As it stands now, the trek is set to kick off on March 27th in Atlanta and will see the band travel up the East Coast before heading into Canada and the Midwest. Their travels will conclude with a series of dates in California, which will include a previously reported headlining appearance at next year’s Coachella Music Festival.

Silversun Pickups will be providing support on all North American dates.

The band’s scheduled late March appearances in Texas and a lack of an Austin date also add more fuel to the fire that Muse will also be performing at next year’s South by Southwest. However, this has yet to be confirmed.

Muse fan pre-sales will be running for all these shows this week on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday starting at 1:00 p.m. (local venue time). A general onsale will begin Saturday, December 19th via Ticketmaster.com.
