Indie-rockers Dr. Dog [ tickets ] have mapped out a huge tour schedule for the next few months behind the quintet's forthcoming new album, "Fate."

The group will kick off the push behind the new disc July 18 in Pittsburgh. A few appearances are slotted before the start of the headlining tour, with a May 28 show in Dr. Dog's hometown of Philadelphia next on the calendar.

Altogether, the band will hit close to 40 cities over the summer and fall months, with shows scheduled well into October. All dates are shown below.

The band has announced a July 22 release date for "Fate," its fifth studio album, which was recorded over the last five years in the group's own North Philadelphia studio.

"We spend a lot of time together, maybe more than any person should spend with another, but that's not a complaint," the band wrote in a recent posting on its website. "It's to say that when you spend this much time with a bunch of dudes, you learn from one another and you learn something about yourself.

"Not sure what that's got to do with anything, but at the moment we listen to this record and think that all the time we spend together has as much to do with the album as anything else."

The album follows last year's "We All Belong," which ranked No. 39 on Rolling Stone's year-end Top 50 Albums list.
