Beastie Boys Ready Follow-Up to "The 5 Boroughs"

Don't let the graying hair fool you—the Beastie Boys show no signs of slowing down. Only three years after 2004's To The 5 Boroughs, Adam Yauch tells Billboard that the three rappers hope to release a follow-up album as early as this summer—a short break by Beastie standards.

While there are no more details currently available, the Beasties hope to test the new material on live audiences on a limited tour, also scheduled for this summer.

These are the live dates:

May 27: George, Washington (Sasquatch Festival)
June 10: Lisbon (Alive! Festival)
June 17: Istanbul (Efes Pilsen One Love Festival)
June 22: Scheessel, Germany (Hurricane Festival)
June 24: Neuhasen, Germany (Southside Festival)
June 26: Paris (Le Zenith)
June 28: Werchter, Belgium (Rock Werchter Festival)
June 30: Gdynia, Poland (Heineken Festival)
