Just today, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers announced a 2010 North American tour and the upcoming release of Mojo, their first studio album in eight years, this spring. The tour will take the band through a mix of top arenas and amphitheaters across the US and Canada beginning May 6th in Raleigh, NC. Tickets go on sale beginning Monday, March 8 at LiveNation.com. Special guest artists on the tour will include a mix of appearances by My Morning Jacket, Crosby, Stills and Nash, Joe Cocker, ZZ Top, and Drive By Truckers.

All 2010 tour tickets purchased online will include an MP3 download of every track on Mojo. Once fans purchase tickets online, they will receive an email with codes entitling them to download two tracks from Mojo (“First Flash Of Freedom” and “Good Enough.”) Then, on the release date of the album, currently slated for this spring, ticket buyers will be sent a download of the entire album. Also included with every online ticket purchase, to be delivered at the end of the 2010 tour, will be a selection of live tracks recorded during the tour. Pretty good perks for what are sure to be pricey tickets.
