Pop Evil have a new album out, “Versatile,” and the band will support the fresh tunes with a cross-country U.S. tour

Michigan rockers Pop Evil have a new album on the way, and now, they also have a full-fledged U.S. tour to go with it. The band will hit the road on a summer run starting July 14 in Lake County, Illinois, and remain on tour into September.

The tour is in support of Pop Evil’s just-released new album, “Versatile.” Support on the trek will include Zero 9:36, BRKN Love and Like Machines.

“This really is just as exciting as releasing our new album,” Pop Evil said in a collective statement of the upcoming run. “Like many other musicians, we haven’t played a live show in over a year. We can’t wait to get back out there and play in front of our fans.”

Tickets for the newly announced shows are on sale now. For ticket information and details, head to PopEvil.com.

In addition to the headlining tour, Pop Evil will perform at a handful of summer and fall music festivals, including Rocklahoma, Aftershock and Inkcarceration. The band will also open for Shinedown on a collection of dates.

Pop Evil’s “Versatile” dropped in late May. The set features the No. 1 rock single “Breathe Again.”
