4:31 PM | Posted by Quirky NY Chick

Legendary rockers Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers announced the

ir 2010 North American tour and the upcoming release of their new record today. Mojo, their first studio record in eight years, is scheduled to be released this spring on Reprise Records. The Live Nation produced North American tour, which begins May 6 in Raleigh, NC, will take the band across the US and Canada. Tickets go on sale Monday, March 8 at LiveNation.com.

The tour will bring Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers to New York. They'll take the stage at Madison Square Garden on July 28. Supporting artists for the NY show haven't been announced yet while other dates 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 the Heartbreakers' electrifying new album, Mojo. It will work like this; 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.

Mojo is a fiery statement from a band that is making some of their most exciting music over three decades into their career. "Good Enough" from the new album is now available for streaming at the revamped TOMPETTY.com. More details on the new album to follow soon.
