Tom Petty Tours With Strokes, Frank Black, John Mayer

Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers have announced the third leg of their U.S. summer tour, which originally kicked off June 9 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the release of the band’s debut album.

Beginning Sept. 14 in Chicago, the third leg will include a headlining performance at this year’s Austin City Limits Festival as well as a stop in the band’s hometown of Gainesville, Fla.

A handful of impressive supporting acts will be featured on the tour, including The Strokes during the first half, and Frank Black and John Mayer during the second. Stevie Nicks is also set to join the band through leg two and three of the tour.

The second leg will run July 30 through Aug. 18, and will feature guest performances from Trey Anastasio (who opened the entire first leg) and The Allman Brothers.

Also set for the summer is Petty’s third solo album, “Highway Companion,” which will be released July 25.
