LOS ANGELES (Billboard) - B.B. King,

Al Green and Etta James will tour together for the first time on a 16-city trek that begins July 24 in Miami.

Dubbed the B.B. King Blues Festival, the jaunt will visit cities including Atlanta, Detroit, Chicago, Baltimore, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Dallas and Denver. It will wrap September 9 at the Kautz Ironstone Vineyards Theater in Murphys, Calif.

Supporting on select dates are

Joan Osborne, Robert Randolph and James Hunter.

Since January, 81-year-old King has been performing gigs on his 60th Anniversary Tour. Last April, the Grammy-winning bluesman celebrated his 10,000th concert at the B.B. King Blues Club & Grill in New York City's Times Square. King also recently announced that he will fully fund the $10 million B.B. King Museum in Mississippi, which is expected to open in 2008.
