Chris Cornell has announced a string of European tour dates for next year.

The Soundgarden frontman is currently on a North American tour in support of latest solo album Higher Truth, with shows in New Zealand and Australia to follow. He has now confirmed 22 European dates, kicking off in Iceland on March 23, 2016.
