Remember that rumor about a Between the Buried and Me / Coheed and Cambria progtastic tour combo this winter? Rumor is now reality: MS reader Zak H. sent us a link to a post on BTBAM’s Facebook officially announcing the tour. Russian Circles will open, which is fucking AWESOME — a huge break for that band, to be sure, and one that will surely bring them thousands of new fans. They definitely deserve it. This is a tour you cannot miss.

Ticket pre-sale starts tomorrow at 10am here and general sales start this coming Friday at noon. From what I can tell, all you need to do to gain the ability to buy pre-sale tickets is sign up for a free account with Coheed and Cambria’s fanclub (please correct us if we’re wrong).

Here’s a teaser video from Metal Blade Records, BTBAM’s label:
