Local H will celebrate the 20th anniversary of their 2002 studio album Here Comes the Zoo with a trek across North America.

The tour will begin on September 11 inside Omaha’s Slowdown, and it’ll conclude at Toronto’s Adelaide Hall on December 13. With no openers, the band will perform a set full of fan favorites before performing Here Comes The Zoo in full. Tour dates can be seen below. Tickets are on sale to the general public right now.

Guitarist Scott Lucas said this about Here Comes The Zoo, which features the singles "Hands on the Bible" and “Half-Life”:

"In a lot of ways, this was the toughest record we ever had to make. We were at a real turning and it wasn’t just a record that would determine the future of the band — it was the record that would determine whether or not Local H was going to even have a future.
We had just worked with Roy Thomas Baker on PACK UP THE CATS — so getting another producing legend was not in the plan. Then we found out Jack Douglas was interested. So what could we do? He’s the man. We had no choice but to go with him."
