Yet another veteran artist has announced a final tour.

Singer-songwriter and activist Joan Baez will embark on what she says will be her last year of touring in September.

“I’m looking forward to being on the road with a beautiful new album of which I am truly proud,” says Baez in a press release announcing the dates. “I welcome the opportunity to share this new music as well as longtime favorites with my audiences around the world.”

The jaunt includes an Oct. 3 date at State Theatre. Tickets go sale at 11 a.m. on Friday.
