Stevie Nicks will continue to perform several songs with Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers on the remainder of the tour. So fans will get a chance to see a live performance of the hit 1981 duet between Nicks and Petty, "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around," along with other favorites.

Three of the shows on the tour's third leg will go on sale next week.

Highway Companions Club members will be invited to participate in special ticket presales for most shows. Due to the late announcement of these tour dates, and our continued success in battling scalpers, we have increased fan club presale ticket limits. Members may now buy up to six presale tickets for the 2006 tour, with a limit of two tickets for any one show.

Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers will play the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on Sept. 26. Highway Companions Club members can buy tickets in an exclusive presale on Tuesday, July 11, beginning at 10 a.m. PT. A local radio-sponsored presale, which is open to anyone who visits TomPetty.com, starts Friday, July 14, at 10 a.m. PT, and tickets go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. PT on Sunday, July 16.

A pair of shows at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley, Calif., will also go on sale to the general public on Sunday, July 16. The exclusive Highway Companions Club presale begins at 10 a.m. PT on Tuesday, July 11. The radio-sponsored presale begins on Friday, July 14, at 10 a.m. PT, and the public on-sale begins at 10 a.m. PT on Sunday, July 16.

In addition, event passes to the Austin City Limits Festival in Austin, Texas, where Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers will appear on Sept. 17, are now available online. Event passes are good for all three days of the festival (Sept. 15 through Sept. 17).

New songs available on iTunes now
Two new songs from Tom Petty's new album, "Highway Companion," are now available at the iTunes Music Store. "Saving Grace" and "Big Weekend" can be purchased separately. "Highway Companion" will be in stores on July 25.

ABOUT HIGHWAY COMPANIONS CLUB PRESALES
We have reserved up to 1,500 premium seats from each show for Highway Companions Club presales. These tickets will be made available exclusively to club members on a first-come, first-served basis.

Members who purchase tickets in the presale will also receive Tom's new CD, "Highway Companion," free, courtesy of Ticketmaster.

Highway Companions Club members are limited to two tickets per show, and six total for the 2006 tour. In order to ensure tickets get into the hands of club members -- and not scalpers -- tickets are nontransferable and must be picked up at the venue's Will Call window on the night of the show. The credit card used to purchase the ticket and a government-approved ID will be required to claim the tickets.

We will offer the best seats that we can for our members during the presale, but we anticipate high demand for these premium tickets and we expect the presales in each market to sell out quickly. Club membership does not guarantee the ability to purchase tickets during the presale -- once the tickets are gone, we are sold out! However, club members will have the opportunity to purchase concert tickets again during the local radio presale and when they go on sale to the general public.

The annual fee for joining the fan club is $30.

In addition to the free CD and the opportunity to buy premium concert tickets early, members will also receive access to exclusive online benefits and other special features when the new TomPetty.com launches this summer, including:

Your own TomPetty.com e-mail address
Special offers from the TomPetty.com shop
Free streams, downloads and other members-only perks

SPECIAL TICKET PACKAGES -- CLUB MEMBERSHIP INCLUDED
Fans seeking the ultimate Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers experience may be interested in our Special Ticket Package, which puts you within the first 15 rows and includes the following perks:

Membership in the Highway Companions Club for one year
Custom commemorative tickets in honor of Tom Petty's 30th anniversary
A coupon good for $100 off any purchase from the Tom Petty online store
Access to a stream of Tom Petty's newest CD, "Highway Companion," two weeks prior to its release
Tom Petty's latest CD, "Highway Companion," mailed soon after its release

All tickets will be held at the box office Will Call for pickup by the purchaser. Picture ID required. No exchanges, name changes or refunds allowed.

LOCAL RADIO PRESALES
After the Highway Companions Club presales, all TomPetty.com visitors can purchase tickets via the traditional local radio station presales before tickets go on sale to the general public. Just listen to your local radio station for details and visit TomPetty.com for your presale password.

Great news! Will she be at the Los Angeles show I wonder? I'm about to pee my pants right now at the thought of seeing Stevie and Tom under the stars singing Insider at The Hollywood Bowl of all places, holy ****e! It's also 4 days before my 30th birthday, what a gift!

"On the remainder of the tour." Does that mean she'll be at all of those shows? I am seriously debating going out to visit my gay boyfriend in LA this fall - if she's coincidentally playing with Petty around the same time....

Amber - how far is LA from Berkley?

I just went to tompetty.com & I can't find this announcement - did this go out to fanclub members only?

Yep, it was a fanclub email sent out. If you go to the forums at gonegator.com there's talk about the 3rd leg

*does a cartwheel* Stevie might come to Austin for ACL???

"Remainder of the tour..." I'm wondering if that includes the late July/August dates, as well as the 3rd leg?? Or just the 3rd leg? Or just a few dates on the 3rd leg? I was thinking she may only do the west coast dates. I may have to road trip to Houston, if she ends up there!

I didn't get an email for this, but I've gotten them in the past...I was just over on the Tom board and a lot of other people didn't get the email either...despite this press release, the dates are still not up on tompetty.com. But the Strokes? That's kinda cool...and I wonder who may be opening for him at all the other shows??

I earned another free round trip on Southwest for my St. Louis trip...hmmmm....
