Soundgarden have announced they are officially making their comeback, beginning in Canada this summer.

  The Black Hole Sun group, led by frontman Chris Cornell, reunited last year after a 13-year absence, and now they've announced their first tour dates since 1997.

  Soundgarden will play in Toronto on 2 July, ahead of three U.S. dates in Philadelphia, Denver and Los Angeles.

  The shows won't be the reunited band's first performances, however - they played a one-off show at Seattle's Showbox at the Market a year ago and they also headlined the Lollapalooza festival in Chicago, Illinois in August.

 More dates are expected to be announced soon.
