In This Moment will embark on its first headlining tour called "A Winter to Remember." The North American Tour with In Fear and Faith, Agraceful, and Motionless in White kicks off on November 6.

Guitarist Chris Howorth had the following to say:
We are extremely excited to announce this tour," guitarist Chris Howorth said. "We've spent the last three years as an opening band trying to reach as many new people as we could, connecting with people and building our fan base, but now it’s finally time for us to do a tour that is just for our fans.

We will be playing a long set comprised of songs from both our albums and are planning some really cool surprises for everyone attending. Our manager and booking agent have spent the last few months putting together a tour package that will bring something new and exciting on the road for our old and new fans alike to enjoy. We have Revolver magazine (the baddest metal/hard rock magazine on the planet) on board as our sponsor and we have assembled a package of heavy and melodic bands to bring out with us that will kick everyone's ass. IN FEAR AND FAITH, AGRACEFUL and MOTIONLESS IN WHITE are all really talented and diverse bands that we think the IN THIS MOMENT fans will enjoy.

"With the tour taking place during the fall/winter months we decided to give the whole thing a holiday feel. So bring your Christmas cheer and merry mayhem or if you wanna be a Scrooge or the Grinch, that's fine too, but come out to a show and rock with us. Let's make it 'A Winter To Remember!'"
