What happens when Warped Tour ends? You get your buddies together and make a new one. Warped alumni Rise Against, Thursday and Billy Talent have joined forces to create a kind of emo Voltron and play some shows.

Of course the trip has been engineered in time to promote three new records that are in stores. Rise Against will be supporting their recent The Sufferer and The Witness. Thursday is out supporting A City By Light Divided which hit stores back in May, and Billy Talent unleashed Billy Talent II about a month ago.

The tour was originally a joint venture between Rise Against and Billy Talent, however the addition of Thursday was announced this week via Rise Against's website.

We're dropping you a quick line to let you in on the fall touring plans we've been keeping so secret all summer. After hanging out with our friends in THURSDAY here at Warped, we weren't looking forward to parting ways at the end of the summer. So, we've conspired to tour all fall together! Thursday and Rise Against have been playing shows together since about six years ago, and the friendships and mutual respect accrued in those years are the fuel that will drive this upcoming tour. We can't wait. We're taking Billy Talent with us (and another band we will tell you about soon who we think you will be excited about), and we're rolling through most of the US, so come check it out and have a good time with us.
