Explosive sextet Motionless In White are thrilled to announce their first North American headline tour for this fall. 

"We couldn't be more excited to be heading out on our first full headline tour this fall" notes lead singer Chris Motionless. "We've spent a long time waiting for this moment, and can't wait to kick off 'Infamous' and the next phase of Motionless In White in the best f*cking way possible. I won't give too many things away, but I will say that you will definitely leave knowing you just witnessed a true SHOW."

The Infamous Tour, presented by Rockstar Energy Drink, kicks off on November 8 in Burlington, VT, and will hit 31 cities across the country, more dates to be announced soon. The tour includes support from Chelsea Grin, Stick To Your Guns, Crown The Empire, and label mates Upon This Dawning. The tour follows a huge summer on Vans Warped Tour, headline dates in Japan and a sold out tour of the UK this September. 

The tour comes in support of forthcoming album 'Infamous'. Produced by Jason Suecof (August Burns Red, The Black Dahlia Murder, Whitechapel) and Tim Skold (Marilyn Manson), 'Infamous' is the band's second full-length, and is set for release this fall.
