Tori Amos has announced the tourdates for the North American leg of her new summer tour titled The Sinful Attraction Tour.

Here are a few of the new promo pics that have just been released along with the full text of the press release announcement of Tori‘s new tour:

Tori Amos has announced her “Sinful Attraction Tour” in support of her forthcoming Abnormally Attracted to Sin. The tour will launch this July in Seattle, with dates across the US. Known for her dynamic live performances and ever-changing set lists, Tori is one of the most active touring artists in the world, having played over 1,000 shows since her first world tour over a decade ago. The groundbreaking singer/songwriter will release her Universal Republic debut album, ABNORMALLY ATTRACTED TO SIN, on May 19, 2009. A DVD of corresponding ‘visualettes’ for each track will accompany the deluxe version of ABNORMALLY ATTRACTED TO SIN. These interlocking episodic films bring to life the narrative arc of the album. The footage was captured over the past year and shot with a noir twist in HD and Super 8. For nearly two decades, Tori Amos’ stark lyrical flourishes and inspired musicianship have shaped the musical landscape. She is also considered one of the most emotionally powerful live artists in music today. Her most recent world tour, launched in the summer of 2007, with media platforms such as the BBC who lauded both her live show and album as ‘returning Tori Amos back to the forefront of a genre she defined…still pushing her own boundaries.’ Stay posted at www.toriamos.com for on-sale information.
