Beastie Boys US tour

As expected, the BEASTIE BOYS will play a handful of live dates this summer, alternating between more traditional hip-hop shows and an instrumental set along the lines of the trio's new Capitol album, "The Mix-Up."

The hip-hop shows will begin Aug. 1 in Philadelphia and run through Aug. 25 in Berkeley, Calif. Pre-sale tickets will be available Thursday (Aug. 14). Dates for the instrumental performances have yet to be announced.

"We've got plenty more work ahead of us," Mike D recently told Billboard. "We kind of have a pretty broad list [of songs] to pick and choose from."

The BEASTIES will be touring internationally through late July. Another run of shows in Ireland and the United Kingdom is on tap for early September.
