LL Cool J is hitting the road this summer to promote his forthcoming album Authentic. A few weeks after the LP’s April 30 release, LL will headline the Kings of the Mic tour. And it looks like nostalgia tours are no longer solely the domain of rockers, as he’s bringing along Ice Cube (you probably know him for his acting work), Public Enemy and De La Soul.

The trek will hit a bunch of midsize arenas and outdoor amphitheaters for 26 US dates, starting May 23 in Tucson, AZ and finishing up July 5 at the Essence Music Festival in New Orleans. Head to LL Cool J’s Facebook page for ticket information, and check out the full list of dates after the jump.
