Gomez will join the Happy Mondays, Stereophonics, and Robbie Williams this weekend for a special gig at Slane Castle in Dublin, Ireland, and the group plans on storming American ramparts a month later to support its upcoming album, "Liquid Skin."

The band, which toured North America for a month's worth of gigs earlier this year, will kick off its five-date promotional tour on September 21 in New York, the same day "Liquid Skin" is due out in the U.S. (see "Gomez Bandages 'Skin' For Second LP").

Gomez recently celebrated the album's forthcoming release with a small party at Holborn Studios in London, during which the band performed several new tracks including "Hangover Girl" as well as a cover of the Temptations' "The Way You Do the Things You Do."

After the North American mini-tour, Gomez will return home for an extended U.K. road outing scheduled through November. Dates for Gomez's upcoming U.S. shows:

  • 9/21 - New York, NY @ Irving Plaza
  • 9/22 - Boston, MA @ Paradise Rock Club
  • 9/27 - Chicago, IL @ Metro
  • 10/1 - Los Angeles, CA @ John Anson Ford Theater
  • 10/2 - San Francisco, CA @ The Fillmore
