The fast-rising Creed are continuing to put in some heavy hours on the road promoting their new platinum record, "My Own Prison," and it looks like their touring schedule is going to include two dates opening for Van Halen in May.

Sources at Wind-Up Entertainment confirmed that the indie band has been asked to join the veteran rockers May 19 in Detroit and May 22 in New York City. A spokesperson said more shows had been discussed, but those were the only two dates that scheduling would allow.

Creed is currently touring in the South. The band will be presenting the Red Cross in Albany, GA, with some flood relief funds for flood victims on April 3 generated at a benefit last week in Atlanta.

Van Halen begins their very short U.S. trek May 13 in Houston, wrapping it up May 24 in Philadelphia before heading off to Europe.
