Good Times!, which is slated to drop June 10, is the 12th studio album by the American rock band and features all three surviving Monkees, as well as the late Davy Jones with a vocal on one track. While the official track list has yet to be released, the band called on Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo, Ben Gibbard, Neil Diamond, Harry Nilsson, XTC’s Andy Partridge and others to write songs for the album.

Alongside the new LP, Dolenz and Tork will hit the road for the anniversary tour beginning May 18. The tour, which features close to 50 stops, will include a homecoming show at the Pantages Theater in Los Angeles Sept. 16. The duo will be on tour until later this fall.
