DETROIT — John Mellencamp is hitting the road this summer, and he's bringing his greatest hits along with him.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Famer will perform at Pine Knob on July 16 as part of his "Dancing Words — The Greatest Hits" tour. The tour will see him performing all of his most beloved tunes — songs like "Jack and Diane," "Pink Houses," "Small Town," "Hurts So Good," "Authority Song," "R.O.C.K. in the U.S.A." and "Wild Nights" — for the first time in a long time.

Tickets for the show go on sale at 10 a.m. Jan. 23 via Ticketmaster. Presale tickets are available through Citi and begin at 10 a.m. Tuesday.

Mellencamp's 19-date tour kicks off at Grand Rapids' new Acrisure Amphitheater July 10 and runs through Aug. 12 in Mountain View, California. See the full list of tour dates below.
