Beastie Boys begin plotting fall roadwork

Beastie Boys have confirmed three West Coast stops as they continue to build the itinerary for a fall outing that backs their new album, "To the 5 Boroughs."

The New York-bred hip-hop trio is set to play September shows in Long Beach, CA, San Francisco and Seattle; details listed below. Rapper Talib Kweli will open all three dates.

"To the 5 Boroughs" hit stores in June, and debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 album chart. It has since been certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America, signifying more than a million units shipped. The album--which features the single "Ch-Check it Out"--is the Beasties' first since 1998's "Hello Nasty."

The Beasties--along with Green Day, Kid Rock, Pixies, Sonic Youth, A Tribe Called Quest and many others--are also among the dozens of acts that will appear at this fall's Voodoo Music Experience in New Orleans.
