The dates start Oct. 11 in San Diego and continue more than a month, ending in Austin, Texas, Nov. 17. Cities like Los Angeles, Seattle, and Chicago all get multiple shows in the routing.

A dollar from each ticket sold will go toward supporting the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).

Tickets to the shows go on sale June 9 at 10 a.m. local time.

The Sea Lice will consists of “a revolving cast of musicians,” including Janet Weiss of Sleater-Kinney and Wild Flag, Stella Mozgawa of Warpaint, Rob Laakso of
