Glam-rockers Tokio Hotel [ tickets ] have announced dates for a summer headlining run through North America behind the band's English-language debut, "Scream."
The German quartet--lead singer Bill Kaulitz, guitarist Tom Kaulitz, drummer Gustav Schafer and bassist Georg Listing--is making another attempt on American markets this year after canceling its spring tour following an injury to Kaulitz's vocal chords (and subsequent surgery to remove a cyst).
The group will kick off the upcoming run Aug. 7 in Sayreville, NJ, and plans to visit 11 cities on the trek, which runs through late August. Details are below.
"Scream," released May 6 in the United States, contains English versions of songs from the band's previous German-language albums, 2005's "Schrei" and last year's "Zimmer 483." Although the new album--which is sold as "Room 483" in German-speaking territories, the English translation of "Zimmer 483"--has performed well in Europe, selling more than 600,000 copies to date, the band has struggled to gain popular success in the US, although the group has attracted a ground swelling of support due to its theatrical live act.
Formed in Magdeburg, Germany in 2001, Tokio Hotel [ tickets ] has scored four No. 1 singles and two No. 1 albums in its native Germany, and has sold more than 3 million CDs and DVDs combined, according to a press release.
Here is some info about the concerts in the US.

Oh Mein Gott! Tokio Hotel Returns to 'TRL' for a Week This August!
Just another reason why we should petition the U.S government (they're not busy, right?) to officially change "August" to "Tokio Hotel Month"; Bill, Gustav, Tom, and Georg — collectively known as Tokio Hotel, and usually referred to between breathless gasps of OH MEIN GOTT! — are bringing their cat eyes, impressive biceps, copious dreadlocks and brooding stares back to TRL for an entire week, beginning August 4.
Mark your calendars, phone a friend, and/or tattoo it on some inconspicuous part of your face before Tokio Hotel melts it off: Tokio Hotel, live and in the flesh, will be on TRL all week beginning Monday, August 4th.
+ Plus: get Tokio Hotel's just-announced August 2008 tour dates, watch their TRL performance, behind-the-scenes footage from their last trip to TRL, exclusive MTV interview, check out their MTV photo shoot, and their tour diaries. (We're kind of obsessed too, if you couldn't tell.)
