Glam-rockers Tokio Hotel 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 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.
