In a tour that kicks off August 1 with Waits' first concert in Atlanta since the 1970s, the reclusive singer-songwriter will play his first-ever gig in Asheville, North Carolina, on August 2. The tour also includes stops in Memphis, Nashville, Louisville, Chicago, Detroit, and Akron, Ohio.
"We need to go to Tennessee to pick up some fireworks, and someone owes me money in Kentucky," Waits said in a statement about why he picked which cities he'll be playing.
Waits played a handful of live shows in 2004, but hadn't toured extensively since 1999, when he released his widely praised Mule Variations album.
Anti- Records is reportedly at work on a long-awaited Tom Waits boxed set, although no release date has been set.

8-1 Atlanta, GA - Tabernacle
8-2 Asheville, NC - Thomas Wolfe Auditorium
8-4 Memphis, TN - Orpheum Theatre
