Asking Alexandra are kicking off 2012 with some big news: they’ll be headlining a blockbuster North American tour in March and April.

It had been rumored in the past, but the mega bill featuring Asking Alexandria, Trivium, Dir En Grey, I See Stars, Motionless in White and the Amity Affliction is now coming to fruition.

Asking Alexandria took to their Facebook page on New Year’s Day to confirm the good news, saying, “Happy New Year you crazy F—ers! We’ll be headlining North America in March/April with Trivium, Dir En Grey, I See Stars, Motionless in White and the Amity Affliction.”

2011 was definitely a banner year for Asking Alexandria with the April release of ‘Reckless & Relentless’ followed by a ton of touring. They closed out the year joining up with Avenged Sevenfold for their ‘Buried Alive’ tour and will spend most of January overseas touring with Blessthefall, Chelsea Grin and With One Last Breath.

Trivium, meanwhile will precede the trek by embarking on a winter jaunt with In Flames.

The dates for the spring tour have not yet been announced, but stay tuned.
