Only a couple of weeks after announcing their ninth studio album, Tegan and Sara, the popular Canadian indie-pop duo, have revealed their plans for an upcoming North American tour.

The 23-date ‘Hey, I’m Just Like You’ tour shares the same name as the Closer singers’ upcoming album, which is set to drop this fall.

Along the way, the identical twin sisters, Tegan and Sara Quin, will play six Canadian shows, including their hometown, Calgary, on Oct. 10 at the Bella Concert Hall.

To change things up, Tegan and Sara have decided that for this tour they will (mostly) play acoustically, including hits both old and new, as well as select cuts from Hey, I’m Just Like You, according to an official statement made by the duo on Tuesday.

They’ll supposedly be reading excerpts from their upcoming memoir, High School, which will be released worldwide in September.

As revealed in the statement, $1 from each ticket sold will go towards the Tegan and Sara Foundation.

Launched in late 2016, the Tegan and Sara Foundation “fights for health, economic justice and representation for LGBTQ2 girls and women.”

“We have so much in store for you,” Tegan and Sara said. “It’s going to be a super special evening that you don’t want to miss.

“We’ve been away from you all for nearly two years and can’t wait to see you.”
