Fear Factory spent last year celebrating the 20th anniversary of Demanufacture with a full European tour, but FF fans in the States never got to see it. At the time, the band noted that promoters in the US weren't interested in booking the tour. I guess the publicity from that statement helped them convince promoters to give it a go.
The band just announced they will be hitting the road with Soilwork for a massive US run in a few months. The first round of dates have been released:
3/22 Albuquerque, NM @ Sunshine Theater
3/24 San Antonio, TX @ Fitzgerald's Bar & Live Music
3/25 Dallas, TX @ Trees
3/26 Houston, TX @ Scout Bar
4/2 Fayetteville, NC @ Rock Shop
4/3 Norfolk, VA @ Norva
4/5 Baltimore, MD @ Rams Head
4/6 New York, NY @ Gramercy
4/9 Worcester, MA @ Palladium
4/12 Pittsburgh, PA @ Altar Bar
4/14 Cleveland, OH @ Agora
4/15 Flint, MI @ Machine Shop

4/21 Milwaukee, WI @ The Rave
