The string of 27 dates, which kicks off on September 23 at the Germania Insurance Amphitheater in Del Valle, Texas, follows the release of Beck’s new album, 18, with actor-musician Johnny Depp.

The Depp-Beck album gave Beck his first top-10 record on the Billboard chart.

The first six shows of Beck’s tour will include support from ZZ Top and upcoming shows in Texas, Tennessee and Alabama will include Wilson.

Reportedly, on tour, Beck will largely focus on the songs from 18, though he will surely dip into older material, as well. And speculation abounds whether or not Depp will join his musical collaborator on any of the dates. He has recently joined Beck on stage for several shows, including one in the U.K. city of Sheffield.

Beck is also a collaborator on the new Ozzy Osbourne album, Patient Number 9.
