The Mark McGrath & Friends Cruise drowned before it ever set sail, but the Sugar Ray frontman has mapped another nostalgia-baiting tour through the ’90s — this time, on land. Beginning on July 4, McGrath and the rest of Sugar Ray will lead the Under the Sun tour across North America. Fellow alt-pop radio holdovers Smash Mouth, the Gin Blossoms, Vertical Horizon, and Fastball will tag along.

As of now, only “75 to 80 percent” of the Under the Sun dates have been revealed, according to the above video announcement from the former Extra correspondent. Several Sugar Ray-hungry fans have taken to Twitter to suggest some additional stops for the pre-Internet-era roster; don’t worry, guys, McGrath is “working on it bro!”
