Boston rockers Extreme [ tickets ] continue along the comeback trail with a headlining tour in support of the band's first new studio album in 13 years.

The reunited hard rock quartet--which features original members Gary Cherone (vocals), Nuno Bettencourt (guitar), Pat Badger (bass) and new addition Kevin Figueiredo (drums)--will launch the tour July 29 in Poughkeepsie, NY. The 21-city outing will run through late August and end on the West Coast; details are below.

The group will also co-headline the July 11 Rocklahoma Festival in Pryor, OK, in advance of the tour.

"As much as we enjoy recording, for me, I've always loved playing live for the fans," Cherone said in a press release. "We can't wait to get out there and play this music."

"Saudades de Rock," the band's fifth studio album and first since 1996's "Waiting for the Punchline," still awaits a proper release date, but will appear sometime in June, according to the band. The set was produced by Bettencourt and recorded in Los Angeles.

"We wanted to record as much of the new album as possible live in the studio," added Bettencourt. "And because of it, these songs will translate easily to the stage. We're really looking forward to getting out on tour, putting on a show. That's really where the band shines."

During its original incarnation, Extreme [ tickets ] released four studio albums and two greatest-hits collections, and racked up total sales of more than 10 million records, according to a press release. The band began playing together again in 2004 for the first time in eight years.

Since parting ways in 1996, Extreme's members have tackled several other projects, most notably Cherone, who briefly fronted Van Halen; that union yielded the 1998 album "Van Halen 3," a set that received a lukewarm reaction from the public. Following the group's world tour behind the disc, Cherone jumped ship and went on to form Tribe of Judah with Badger and one-time Extreme drummer Mike Mangini. That group released one album: 2002's "Exit Elvis."
