LOS ANGELES – The Rolling Stones are zipping across North America again.

The rock band announced a 15-city tour Tuesday that will kick off May 24 at Petco Park in San Diego, Calif., and wrap up with a show on the Plains of Abraham in Quebec City, the only Canadian stop on the jaunt.

That gig will be part of the outdoor Festival d’ete de Quebec. Tickets go on sale April 11.

The Zip Code tour will once again reunite singer Mick Jagger, drummer Charlie Watts and guitarists Keith Richards and Ronnie Wood.

The Zip Code tour will coincide with the re-release of their seminal album Sticky Fingers on May 26.

The 1971 recording features such Stones classics as “Brown Sugar,” ”Wild Horses” and “Dead Flowers.”

“We love being out on the road and it is great to come back to North America,” said Keith Richards in a statement. “I can’t wait to get back on the stage!”

And quite the stage it will be, including a section that juts far into the crowd, allowing the Stones to interact with fans. As is the band’s practice, the stage design will employ cutting-edge technology to enhance the performance, including video screens and special effects.

The band interrupted last year’s 14 On Fire and rescheduled all their Australia and New Zealand dates after fashion designer L’Wren Scott, Jagger’s companion since 2001, took her own life. The tour concluded Nov. 22, 2014 at the Mount Smart Stadium in Auckland, New Zealand.
