Tickets go on sale December 4 and 5 — fans can get more info at www.aliceinchains.com. The band is touring in support of its critically acclaimed new album, "Black Gives Way To Blue" (Virgin/EMI),which entered Billboard's Top 200 Albums Chart at No. 5, with first-week sales exceeding 126,000 copies.

The band's electrifying set list will spotlight classic hits and new favorites, including new single "Your Decision", which impacts radio on December 7. The band recently shot a video for the song with director Stephen Schuster, who they previously worked with on the video for "A Looking In View".

Los Angeles-based AIC fans can catch the band performing at the KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas show at the Gibson Amphitheatre on December 12. Tickets will go on sale Saturday, November 21 and proceeds will benefit two local charities, Para Los Ninos and the Al Wooten Jr. Heritage Center. On November 24, the band will also perform three songs acoustically for a special Yahoo! Maximum Performance, which can be seen on Yahoo! Music.

In other news, ALICE IN CHAINS recently released a "Black Gives Way To Blue" iPhone app, which features full songs from the album, music videos, news, photos, social networking and much more. The app separates itself from the pack with an impressive level of interactivity; its custom-built functionality allows fans to interact with each of the album's 11 tracks via a touch-drag-and-hold feature that reveals hidden visual gems.
