The reunited Ben Folds Five extends its first tour in 12 years with dates including a show Sept. 13 at Mountain Park in Holyoke. Tickets go on sale Friday, July 13, at 10 a.m. for $55, $45 and $30, via www.nbotickets.com.

Most widely known for the melancholy single “Brick,” the band, actually a trio, formed in 1993 and split the first time in 2000, as frontman/pianist Folds embarked on a solo career. The group got back together in 2011 to record three new songs for a three-disc retrospective. The reunion led to plans for a new album, which is due in September.
