30 Seconds To Mars are planning to hit the road for a European tour in early 2010. The band will kick off the tour with five February dates in the U.K. that include a headlining show at London's Wembley Arena. The string of concerts will promote the group's upcoming album, This Is War, which will be released on December 7. The album is the follow-up to 2005's A Beautiful Lie.

Stone Temple Pilots are postponing a string of upcoming concerts to give themselves more time to work on their new album. STP have said they need more time in the studio to finish their yet-to-be-titled forthcoming album, their first since 2001'sShangri-La Dee Da. All concerts after a November 24 show in Halifax, Nova Scotia, have been canceled and will be rescheduled at later dates.

Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz went on record this week to assure fans that the group is not breaking up. Rumors exploded across the Internet last weekend after drummer Andy Hurley tweeted that the group is on "hiatus," a term often associated with "calling it quits." Wentz cleared the air in a recent interview with MTV, however, saying the band just needs to take a breather. "We're decompressing right now," Wentz said.
