Marc Anthony will take his two new releases, Libre and the upcoming Mended, out on the road for a thirty-date U.S. tour. The summer jaunt is scheduled to begin on July 6th in Boston and run through September 20th in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Anthony released the Spanish-language Libre last October and the album has since gone double platinum. Mended, due on May 21st, is the salsa star's follow-up to 1999's Marc Anthony, his English-language debut, which has sold more than 3 million copies. Like Marc Anthony, the album will be a collaboration with producer Carl Rooney, who also co-wrote the hit single "I Need to Know."

Tickets for the tour go on sale on May 4th.
