According to DC Talk's official website, the 32-city tour will kick off on Oct. 4 in Greenville, S.C., and wrap up on Nov. 17 in Dallas. The shows will include performances by TAIT (Michael Tait), tobyMac (Toby McKeehan) and Kevin Max (Kevin Smith), and will end with a set by the trio collectively known as DC Talk.

Earlier this year, the group released "Solo" (ForeFront), an EP under the name DC Talk that featured songs by the individual members' forthcoming projects.
