The itinerary includes stops in several cities where Waits hasn’t performed since the 1970s, including Atlanta, Memphis, Louisville and Nashville. He’ll make his first-ever appearance in Asheville, N.C., and will visit Akron, Ohio, and Detroit for the first time since the early 1980s.

“We need to go to Tennessee to pick up some fireworks, and someone owes me money in Kentucky,” Waits explained in a press release.

Waits will also perform in Chicago, where he sold out multiple nights on his last visit in 1999. The tour runs from August 1-13, with tickets going on sale starting July 8.

The idiosyncratic musician’s most recent North American concerts took place in October 2004, when he played two shows in Vancouver, B.C., and one in Seattle.
