The trek launches with a headlining appearance June 6 at an outdoor festival at Marina Park in Thunder Bay, Ontario.

Other stops confirmed so far include Grand Casino Hinckley in Minnesota (June 13), Gibson Amphitheatre at Universal CityWalk in Los Angeles (July 2), the Jones County Fair in Monticello, Iowa (July 18), Bethlehem Musikfest in Pennsylvania (August 4), and Mark G.

Boston will be bringing two new recruits along on the road this year: former Stryper frontman Michael Sweet and vocalist Tommy DeCarlo, a fan who was discovered by the band after he posted his Boston covers on his MySpace page.
