Godsmack announced it on their website, Staind posted it on their Facebook page, and Joe Hottinger confirmed it on Twitter: Halestorm is going on the road this spring!

Staind and Godsmack will be co-headlining, and they're both asking on their respective Facebook pages for fans to post ideas for what to call the tour. I suggest the "Halestorm Should Be Headlining But Instead It's Staind and Godsmack Tour."
So far no tour dates have been officially announced by any of the bands, but a radio station in Lubbock, TX is already promoting all three at their X-Fest on April 21st. Staind's Facebook post says all the dates will be announced on Monday, January 23rd, which is also one day before Halestorm's NEW SINGLE "Love Bites (So Do I)" will be unleashed on iTunes and radio stations nationwide!
That is what I had uncovered
That is what I had uncovered as well ... VERY disappointed, but that's the way the tour bus rolls.
They new site tour section should probably remove the Lexington date from the list then.
Okay, a development: Looks like Halestorm will NOT be at the May 4th Mass Chaos date in Lexington, KY after all. The local rock station is promoting the show as Staind, Godsmack and Black Stone Cherry.

On that date, Halestorm will be in Virginia Beach, VA, at the WNOR Lunatic Luau, with Shinedown, Five Finger Death Punch, Slash, P.O.D., Adelitas Way, and Art of Dying.

At least now we know for sure.
Every indication I've got is that Halestorm WILL be at this year's MMRBQ at Susquehana Bank Center in Camden -- including the WMMR website.

It's worth mentioning, though, that this show is NOT a Mass Chaos Date. Godsmack will be there, but Staind will not. However, I'd say Shinedown, Slash and Adelitas Way (who all WILL be there) are a pretty good replacement.
The May 20th date for Susquehanna Center in Camden NJ is listing Halestorm on Live Nation but it isn't on the Halestorm website. Will Halestorm be there? Because tickets go on sale this Friday!
Good news! Halestorm is listed here:

for the Lexington show on May 4th.
I was curious about Lexington also. Aside from it not being listed on the "tour dates" it isn't included in the list of presales to come on 2/1, which is when the Staind fanclub presales are for the Lexington show. I've tried to send a tweet to Halestormrocks and Detroit, but haven't gotten a reply. I guess we will all find out on Wednesday morning when the presales start.
I have no idea why the date isn't listed on the website here (and an opener not being listed on the Ticketmaster site doesn't really mean anything -- sometimes they only list headliners), but everything I've seen from the day the tour dates were announced has Halestorm at all dates on Mass Chaos, including Lexington.

I can't be absolutely sure, but I haven't seen anything about Halestorm missing that one date, so I'd say the most likely scenario is that someone missed it when they were listing dates here on the site, and Ticketmaster didn't list openers for that entry. Maybe call the venue and/or your local rock radio station to be sure? They tend to have a pretty good handle on area-specific event happenings.
Is Halestorm on the bill for the Lexington, KY date? May 4th?? I don't see it on the Tour Dates page and Halestorm isn't listed with Godsmack and Staind on Ticketmaster ...
augusta georgia will be the first stop and we will be there!
