Steely Dan [ tickets ] will head back out on the road this summer for a run of headlining dates as well as a pair of Canadian jazz festivals.

The veteran jazz-pop group's outing will kick off June 8 in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. Following an 8-city US stretch in July that includes a three-night stand (6/13, 14 and 17) at New York City's Beacon Theatre, the band will make appearances at a pair of jazz events the following month in Montreal and Toronto. All dates are included below.

The upcoming tour will mark the third straight year that the band--led by co-founders Donald Fagen and Walter Becker--has launched a major tour after a career spent largely avoiding the business of touring altogether.

Last year, the group toured North America, Europe, Japan, Australia and New Zealand with a 10-piece band that included drummer Keith Carlock, bassist Freddie Washington and guitarist Jon Herington, performing an exhaustive set list that featured songs from the pair's three-decade-plus career, as well as samplings from Fagen's recently released "Morph the Cat" and Becker's upcoming second solo LP, "Circus Money," which is due in stores June 10.

Steely Dan continues to tour behind its most recent studio release, 2003's "Everything Must Go." The group's previous album, 2000's "Two Against Nature," was Steely Dan's first new studio release in 20 years and earned the band three Grammys in 2001, including Album of the Year.

[Editor's note: Per a request from Steely Dan's publicist, the itinerary below was modified on March 27 as follows: the Ottawa date was removed; the originally scheduled June 28 show in Philadelphia was moved to Camden, NJ; and a June 18 show at New York City's Beacon Theater was added.]
