Brian Wilson [ tickets ] kicks into touring mode this summer with a round of dates supporting his forthcoming new album, which returns him to the record label that launched his career.

The perpetual Beach Boy's outing, which kicks off July 8 in Niagara Falls, Ontario, is highlighted by a three-night engagement (9/12-14) at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles following the album's Sept. 2 release. Dates are below.

Wilson collaborated once again with longtime writing partner Van Dyke Parks and bandmate Scott Bennett on the new set, "That Lucky Old Sun." The album, described by Wilson in a press release as an "interwoven series of 'rounds' with interspersed spoken word," and as an autobiographical travelogue of sorts, was recorded at Capitol Studios in Hollywood.

Wilson debuted "That Lucky Old Sun" last fall during a six-night run at London's Royal Festival Hall.

The set, the singer/songwriter's first studio effort since his 2004 re-recording of the Beach Boys' "Smile," marks Wilson's return to Capitol/EMI, the label that launched the Beach Boys' career with the 1962 hit "Surfin' Safari/409."

"I'm thrilled to be back home with Capitol, and I'm looking forward to sharing 'That Lucky Old Sun’ with everyone," Wilson said in a press release. "This music is really special to me."
