Clown punk institution, The Dickies have announced a series of dates in the Midwest alongside Chicago friends Minority One and Secret Agent Bill, who are releasing new albums in June. The tour is being organized by the producers of last year's Riot Fest who will also be announcing the lineup for this year's Fest at the Chicago date of the Dickies tour.

Formed in the late 70s, they were among the first punk rock bands to emerge from Los Angeles, and the first California punk band to be signed to a major record label. As they came upon their 25th year together, the band released All This And Puppet Stew via Fat Wreck Chords.
