Micky Dolenz Announces Monkees Celebration Tour
Chris Willman Music WriterMicky Dolenz has announced a “Micky Dolenz Celebrates the Monkees” tour, in which he’ll keep the torch for the band alive with a series of shows that will utilize multi-media elements to honor the legacy of the ’60s band, and put to further use the “Mike and Micky Show” band that accompanied him and late member Michael Nesmith on tour in recent years.For now, the tour has only seven dates, all concentrated in the Midwest and South. It may be a test run for a longer tour, as manager Andrew Sandoval indicated in a social media post that they don’t know yet whether there will be further dates beyond these or not.The opening night is at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium April 6, and will be followed by shows in Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio and Illinois before a concluding date, for now, in Madison, Wisconsin April 16.
