Hey, hey, The Monkees finally are getting ready to return to the road after postponing a 2020 tour because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and it looks like the trek will be their last one ever.
The group, led by surviving band members Micky Dolenz and Mike Nesmith, has announced a 34-date outing dubbed The Monkees Farewell Tour that’s scheduled to get underway September 11 in Seattle, and is plotted out through a November 14 show at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles.
An ad for the concerts notes that the tour will offer “a magical night of music: all the hits, deep cuts and fan favorites.”
Tickets and VIP packages for some of the shows are available now, while more will go on sale later this week.
Dolenz and Nesmith most recently toured together in 2019, and in April 2020 they released a concert album titled The Monkees Live — The Mike & Micky Show featuring performances recorded in March 2019 during that trek.
Meanwhile, as previously reported, Dolenz will be releasing a new solo album called Dolenz Sings Nesmith on May 21 that features Micky’s reimagined versions of more than a dozen songs penned by Mike during his 50-plus-year career, including several tunes previously recorded by The Monkees.
