The 17-date outing kicks off on July 8 with a show at the Huntington Bank Pavilion at Northerly Island, with dates in major markets in the region, including key festival dates at Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival in San Francisco, the Meadows Music & Arts Festival in New York, the Life Is Beautiful in Las Vegas, Nevada, and the III Points Festival in Miami, Florida.
As of yet, no details about the artists who will be helping Hewlett's animated band members, Murdoc, Noodle, Russel and 2D, perform.
