The North American headlining trek kicks off Aug. 11 at the Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado, and will wrap up Oct. 9 in Las Vegas.

"Ask That God: Afterlife feels like a tour of unknowns and possibilities - new visions, new plateaus, fragile breakthroughs," says frontman Luke Steele in a statement. "I think things are going to happen on this tour that have never happened before."

Steele continues, "We can't wait to take this music and this tour to new frontiers. Let's break barriers together."
