Travie McCoy To Hit The Road With Pete Wentz

Travie McCoy is gearing up for his first-ever solo headlining tour, and he's bringing an old friend along for the ride.

On Monday (January 24), McCoy announced the details of his Sgt. Schlepper's Who Needs Hearts Club Band Tour (good name, BTW), a North American jaunt that kicks off March 17 in Toronto and crisscrosses the continent before wrapping up April 3 in Seattle. Joining him on the trek will be his good pal Pete Wentz — who will be taking his new Black Cards project out on the road for their first full-scale tour — rappers Donnis and XV, and hip-hop/funk collective Bad Rabbits.

In addition to his upcoming tour, McCoy is set to enter the studio with his group Gym Class Heroes to put the finishing touches on The Papercut Chronicles II, their first album since 2008's The Quilt. In late 2009, McCoy told that the new GCH album is shaping up to be a return to their early days (as evidenced by the title), saying, "It's definitely going back to the essence of Gym Class Heroes, which is four dudes sitting in a room, vibing off each other and making organic, dark metal."
