It’s business time: Folk-comedy duo Flight of the Conchords have announced their return to stages across America. The playfully titled Flight of the Conchords Sing Flight of the Conchords Tour will hit nearly 30 locations across the country in June and July and marks the first time the band has toured since co-headlining 2013’s traveling Oddball Comedy & Curiosity Festival with Dave Chappelle.

“I’m thrilled to get back on the road with over half the original band,” Flight of the Conchords’ Bret McKenzie joked in a press release. He’ll be joined by fellow New Zealander Jermaine Clement for the tour, which has stops planned at marquee locations including Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre (July 12) and New York’s Central Park Summerstage (July 24). According to the release, the duo has “new material in the works, which they’ll showcase exclusively at these shows.”

McKenzie and Clement formed Flight of the Conchords in 1998 when they were college roommates, but the group didn’t break through to the mainstream until 2007. The group’s EP from that year, The Distant Future, won the 2008 Grammy Award for Best Comedy Album. Flight of the Conchords, the band’s HBO comedy series, debuted in 2007 and was nominated for seven Emmys over its two seasons.
