Three Days Grace focusing on headlining own tour next

Three Days Grace is currently opening for Nickelback, but will start its own headlining run once the current dates are finished. Although supporting a superstar act in large stadiums has its advantages, Three Days Grace drummer Neil Sanderson told us that the band really wants to focus on its own shows: "You know, we did a cross-Canada Three Days Grace headliner tour and we were able to headline hockey arenas, you know, right across the board and sell them out, you know. So our focus is really to headline and we're gonna be doing the never-ending Three Days Grace headlining tour until we can't possibly, you know, go any longer on this record. And that's gonna be a while because we're pretty heavy into it right now."

Three Days Grace will take Breaking Benjamin along on its headlining dates, which start on April 18th in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

The Canadian act will also play a special concert for U.S. troops in Hawaii on June 29th.

Three Days Grace is touring in support of its second album, One-X, which came out last June.

A two-week online auction started by Three Days Grace drummer Neil Sanderson and his wife Janin began yesterday (Tuesday, March 6th). The auction, which is offering autographed items from sports and music stars, will benefit Operation Herbie, which funds a program at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Canada for children from Third World countries.
