King Crimson will return to the road this summer. A new tour called Music Is Our Friend will launch on July 22 in Clearwater, Fla., and end in Washington, D.C. on Sept. 11.

With founding guitarist Robert Fripp at the helm, the band is rounded out with bassist Tony Levin, singer and multi-instrumentalist Jakko Jakszyk, multi-instrumentalist Mel Collins and drummers Pat Mastelotto, Gavin Harris and Jeremy Stacey.

Many of the tour's performances will be opened by the Zappa Band, which includes features Frank Zappa alumni Ray White (lead vocals, guitar), Mike Keneally (guitar, keys, vocals), Scott Thunes (bassist) and Robert Martin (keyboards, sax, vocals) alongside Zappa Plays Zappa alums Jamie Kime (guitar) and Zappa archivist Joe “Vaultmeister” Travers (drums, vocals).

“The Crimson Beast of Terror has woken from its enforced slumbering," Fripp wrote in a statement, "and is venturing out to stomp flat the psyches of innocents not yet experienced in the hammering onslaught of King Crimson’s uncompromising pounding — bish! bish! bish! — before turning on a beat to jellify hearts with gut-wrenching passion and soul-squeezing epic unfoldings to remind us that we are all mere subjects in the unfolding drama of the universe’s unfathomable mysteries while simultaneously rocking out and having a great time bopping about with Tony and Bobby and Gavin and Jakko and Mel and Pat and Jezza, too.”
