Ben Folds, Rufus Wainwright join forces for summer tour

Singer-songwriters Ben Folds and Rufus Wainwright will team up for a co-headlining tour that will also feature Ben Lee .

Dubbed the "Odd Men Out" tour, the jaunt kicks off in early August, and is currently slated to run for about three weeks. The itinerary is included below.

Folds is backing the just-released "Songs for Silverman," his first full-length studio set since 2001's "Rockin' the Suburbs." The album features the cut "Landed," the music video for which is streaming at his website.

Wainwright's latest album is last November's "Want Two," the follow-up to 2003's "Want One." "All I Want," a documentary about the singer that aired on U.K. television in March, surfaced on DVD last month; the disc also includes live performances and "extra footage not seen in the TV version," according to his website.

Lee, formerly of Noise Addict, released his latest album, "Awake is the New Sleep," in February.
