After spending August on the European festival circuit, Tricky will blow back to the U.S. for a fall tour beginning September 19 in Chicago.

Promoting the recently released Blowback, the electronic music mastermind has lined up dates in the Midwest and South. More shows may be added, according to his management.

Tricky recently broke through to a more mainstream audience, thanks to his collaborations with Live singer Ed Kowalczyk.

The two scored a summer hit with "Evolution Revolution Love" from Blowback, and are currently climbing Billboard's Modern Rock singles chart with "Simple Creed," from Live's forthcoming V (see "Live Turn Tracks Written In Smelly Locker Rooms Into Aggressive V").

Jamaican prodigy Hawkman, who sings on "Evolution Revolution Love" and several other Blowback tracks, will join Tricky on the tour. His debut album, produced by Tricky, is due early next year.

Blowback is Tricky's first album since 1999's poorly received Juxtapose.
