Today's tour recap includes new tour announcements, date additions and more as compiled by Ticket News on September 12, 2008.

Indie rock trio Nada Surf will end the year like they started it: touring. The band recently announced 14 new North American dates to close out 2008. ... After spending the summer co-headlining the Vans Warped Tour, Relient K is staying on the road through December with headlining roles on two new tours. ... Another summer festival anchor has a tour in the works this fall. After a successful opening gig at Bonnaroo, singer-songwriter Matt Morris will support Joan Osborne's 22-date autumnal trek.

Those are the full tour itinerary announcements for the day. There are other musical acts already on the road who have some new concerts on the books, though. Check out those stories in brief below:
