Reverend Horton Heat and Nashville Pussy will provide opening support for the late-summer trek.
"Motorizer," the band's 19th studio set, hit shelves last August and peaked at No. 5 on Billboard's Top Independent Albums chart and No. 82 on The Billboard 200. The effort followed up the Cameron Webb-produced "Kiss Of Death," which surfaced in 2006.
Motorhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister is working on a solo album, according to a recent interview with Spin magazine.
"I've got tracks with The Damned, Reverend Horton Heat, Dave Grohl, Joan Jett," Kilmister told the magazine. "I also have a band called the Head Cat with [Stray Cats drummer] Slim Jim Phantom and Danny B. Harvey, who used to be in the Rockats. We play all the old music that inspired us, a lot of Eddie Cochran and Buddy Holly."
No word yet on when the solo effort will make it to retailers.
