Steely Dan have announced their full spring and summer tour itinerary. Their tour begins June 8th in Hollywood, Florida and wraps up August 2nd in Stateline, Nevada. The tour also includes five shows at New York City’s Beacon Theater.

Walter Becker says that he and Donald Fagen enjoy the fact that they can tour as Steely Dan and not bow to the same pressures that most other major acts have to during their tours: “It’s just so much fun. You know, we’ve got a great band and we’ve got interesting music — we’ve got enough music to play so we don’t have to repeat ourselves and we can still get away with… You know, there’s no song that we have to play every night. You know what I mean? That kills it for a lot of people as it sort of becomes mechanical and weird.”

Walter Becker will release his latest solo album Circus Monkey on June 10th.
