Girlschool have announced the first dates for their "Final North America Tour" with special guests Alcatrazz and Lillian Axe.

The band comment: "We are very excited to announce the first leg of our return to the USA - for the first time in nearly a decade... and for what will be our final full tour of the United States. Also with us on this package we have the brilliant Alcatrazz and Lillian Axe. Our agency and management are making every effort to get us to as many cities as possible, and as always it's all about where there is promoter interest, so even if you have to travel a little bit - we would love to see you there at one of the shows! More East coast and West coast dates will be announced in the coming weeks... Cheers you lot."
