The Monkees To Get Busy Singing For Summer Shows
The Monkees Tour 2013
After completing 2012’s wildly successful reunion tour, The Monkees decided they weren’t done yet, and have now gone ahead and made plans for another mega concert series. “A Midsummer’s Night With The Monkees” will kick off this July and last all the way through mid-August. As of right now, the group will tour exclusively throughout the US, although Micky Dolenz says he and his bandmates haven’t totally ruled out going global: “I can be frank and tell you we are thinking about taking it everywhere,” he recently told Rolling Stone. “There’s always been interest in Japan, Eurasia and Australia and New Zealand.”

Dolenz described the reaction to last year’s tour as “euphoric,” saying “it was pretty apparent there was demand for another one.” Much of the crowds’ enthusiasm had to do with the return of Michael Nesmith, who hadn’t played an American show with The Monkees since he officially left the group in 1970. “We always kept his songs in the setlist,” says Dolenz. “But when he sings the leads it brings a whole different feel and dynamic to the band . . . The two of us had such a nice blend on those early records.”
Clearly the magic hasn’t worn off. Tickets to several of The Monkee’s summer shows are on sale now, but of course, don’t forget to check back with us as more deals become available!
