According to a press release, Beck will perform "special acoustic sets with minimal accompaniment" in Paris at the Days Off Festival (July 2), as part of Bob Dylan's Americanarama Festival in Wantagh, NY (July 27) and again the following night at the Newport Folk Festival (July 28). He'll use those shows to road-test the new songs as well as "best-loved classics" from his extensive catalog.

In addition to the acoustic shows, Beck will bring out a full band for "a pair of full-on electric blow-outs," scheduled for Boston's Bank of America Pavilion on August 2 and Brooklyn's Prospect Park on August 4.
