It’s official! NoDoubt.com has been updated with the official news that the band is hittin’ the road this summer on a new concert tour … and they’re bringing the band Paramore with them. Here is the full text of the press release from the band that was posted on their official site today:

Grammy-winning rock band No Doubt announced plans for their 2009 summer tour today. The band will launch their highly anticipated tour this May, playing outdoor amphitheaters and arenas throughout the summer. Singer Gwen Stefani said, “The whole reason for going on this tour was to have fun, try on all our favorite songs again and to get inspired to make new music. It feels good to be all together again.” No Doubt has selected Paramore as the special guest for the tour. “What a dream tour! We couldn’t be more excited to kick off 2009 by touring with a band like No Doubt,” said Paramore singer Hayley Williams. “Get there early…this is going to a be a great night from the moment the lights go down,” said bassist Tony Kanal. The third act that will open the show will be shared among The Sounds, Janelle Monae and Bedouin Soundclash. Check your local listings for more specific information. “Now that five years have passed, the excitement level for us is extremely high. We are so fresh and ready! I feel like a kid again when rehearsing these songs,” said drummer Adrian Young. The 2009 No Doubt Summer Tour will be produced by Live Nation and will include stops in both the U.S. and Canada. The band last toured in 2004, co-headlining with Blink 182. Tour dates and on sale information will be announced soon. Check www.nodoubt.com for the most up to date tour news.

You may recall that No Doubt confirmed the the rumors that they would be hittin’ the road this summer but did not make the official announcement until today. That they chose to bring Paramore on the road with them is a big honor for the young band. A lot of folks, me included, have waited a long time for the band to get back together and get out on the road. As of yet, there is still no word on when a new album from the band might be released but I understand that they have been hard at work on new tunes over the past few months. While I’m sure the band will be debuting new songs on the road, it remains to be seen if their next studio album will be ready for release by the time the band hits the road … whenever that may be. At this point, specific tour dates have yet to be announced. Stay tuned … hopefully we’ll know when the No Doubt tour will get underway so that we can start to make our summer concert plans.

About 3 weeks ago, the official No Doubt website was updated with a new band photo and a curious iChat session that plainly alluded to the fact that the band was getting ready to announce a set of tour dates for the coming year. This weekend, NoDoubt.com was updated again with a direct message to fans from the band confirming that the band is planning to tour next year … but, have yet to announce any concrete dates. We’re getting closer tho:

Hey Everyone,

As most of you saw from our little iChat (yes, it was really us), we have decided to go on tour next year while continuing to work on our album. We are working on tour dates now and can’t wait to get out there and play for all of you – it’s been too long! We’ll announce tour dates soon so be sure to check back for updates. Have a safe and happy holiday and we’ll see you on the road in 2009!

This is amazing news. I was pretty confident that the last message we got from the back a few weeks ago meant that the announcement of tour dates was imminent … now we know that to be the case. I am really excited for the band to get back on the road … and I’m *dying* to hear new music. Hopefully when next we hear from the band we’ll have concrete dates to plan for. 2009 is already lookin’ like it’s gonna be a great year for live music!

NoDoubt.com has been updated with a new black & white promo pic of the newly “reformed” band, an animated image displaying an iChat discussion regarding recording schedules — and talk of a tour — between the band members and a link to their official forum with the heading Band Tour Chat:

It really looks like the band is getting ready to make an announcement of some sort. I understand that No Doubt is planning to release their new album in 2009 … might there be a tour to go along with the album’s release? At this point, the band isn’t give any concrete information at all … just these hints. I suspect ND may play with us a bit longer until they make their announcement — whatever it may be.
