Tom Petty has been performing with his backing band the Heartbreakers for four full decades now, and next year, the classic-rock institution will celebrate its 40th anniversary with a big North American tour. Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh will open most of the dates, but a few lucky crowds will get burly country superstar Chris Stapleton instead. Petty is also planning to release two gigantic box sets featuring the band's entire discography on 180-gram vinyl. And Petty announced the tour last night on The Tonight Show by doing a goofy comedy bit with Jimmy Fallon. Watch that bit and check out the tour dates below.
