Doobie Brothers Add 35 Dates to 50th Anniversary U.S. Tour

The Doobie Brothers are not done celebrating half a century of rockin’ down the highway. On Monday (Feb. 27) the veteran group announced 35 new U.S. dates for their ongoing 50th anniversary tour. The shows, which will run from June through October of this year, extends the outing that has brought founding members guitarists Tom Johnston, Pat Simmons and John McFee and singer Michael McDonald back together for the first time in 25 years.

Tickets for all the new dates will go on sale beginning Friday (March 3) at 10 a.m. local time (with the exception of the shows in Sparks, NV; New Brunswick, NJ; Morristown, NJ; Washington, DC; and Uncasville, CT, which will go on sale beginning March 10 at 10 a.m. local time.)

“We are thrilled to be back on the road in 2023 playing some cities we haven’t gotten to yet on this tour,” said guitarist Johnston in a statement.

The new dates include shows in Kansas City, Des Moines, Louisville, Biloxi, Charleston and Atlantic City. After wrapping the U.S. dates the group is slated to head overseas for shows in Australia, Japan and Singapore.
