Rise Against have officially announced the upcoming tour with Canada's Billy Talent promised recently.

The jaunt will now include Thursday. Rise Against explained:

We're dropping you a quick line to let you in on the fall touring plans we've been keeping so secret all summer. After hanging out with our friends in THURSDAY here at Warped, we weren't looking forward to parting ways at the end of the summer. So, we've conspired to tour all fall together! Thursday and Rise Against have been playing shows together since about six years ago, and the friendships and mutual respect accrued in those years are the fuel that will drive this upcoming tour.

All three bands released new albums this year, with Rise Against releasing the Sufferer and the Witness and Billy Talent issuing Billy Talent II. Thursday unveiled A City By Light Divided in May.
