With a few shows now under their belts, alt-rockers the Goo Goo Dolls [ tickets ] have added more dates to their spring headlining trip in support of the forthcoming studio album "Something For the Rest of Us."

The outing, which launched last week Augusta, GA, continues tomorrow (4/13) in Hershey, PA. Since last check, 23 additional stops have been scattered throughout the itinerary, which is currently set to conclude with a June 12 concert in Bossier City, LA. The full schedule is shown at right.

Tickets for most shows are available now at the band's website, while the remainder go on sale April 17.

"Something For the Rest of Us," the band's ninth album and first since 2006's gold-selling "Let Love In," is due in stores later this spring. The group recorded the new studio effort in its hometown of Buffalo, NY, and in Los Angeles. Producers Tim Palmer (U2, Switchfoot) and Rob Cavallo (Green Day, Paramore) were brought in to assist on the sessions, along with mixer Mike "Spike" Stent (Radiohead, Dave Matthews Band).

"Originally, we were going to put it out in the fall and we decided to put it out in the spring instead," bassist Robby Takac told Billboard.com in December, "so we had a little bit of time to listen through. I think it really led us to be pretty hypercritical about what's on the record. There's a few things we want to tend to, so I think we're gonna get a great result."

"Let Love In" peaked at No. 9 on The Billboard 200 in 2006, with lead single "Better Days" reaching No. 3 on the singles charts.
