George Clinton and Parliament-Funkadelic Tease Final Tour, Drop Summer 2023 Dates
George Clinton and his Parliament-Funkadelic brethren have released an extensive list of tour dates that will take the crew from coast-to-coast this summer. The run has been dubbed Just For The Funk Of It! Final Tour?!? and arrives after Clinton’s most recent so-called farewell jaunt last summer.
The funk icons run will commence on July 27 in Reno, Nev., before following up the next evening with a show in Napa, Calif., where the ensemble is expected to participate in the Blue Note Jazz Festival. Next, they will pick up a pair of Pacific Northwest dates slated for Portland, Ore., and Seattle before moving on to the middle of the country.
In continuation of the impending summer tour, the bandleader and his team of collaborators will take stands in Oklahoma and Texas in addition to an August 8 performance in Atlanta. Ensuing gigs in North Carolina will set up the group’s arrival in Boston on August 17.
Next, the crew is scheduled to play a show in Port Chester, N.Y. Then, they’ll return to the road on August 19, trekking over to Montclair, N.J., up until the time arrives for their show in Mashantucket, Conn., a few short days later, on August 20.
The so-called, Just For The Funk Of It! Final Tour?!? will take the musicians through Pittsburgh and Cleveland and continues with stops in Indianapolis before the last August date, which will occur in Louisville, Ky. A lone Nov. 25 concert is set to take place in Oakland, Calif., and serves as the band’s last date of this tour.
On the road, Clinton and Parliament-Funkadelic will welcome special guests Fishbone, Dumpstaphunk and George Porter Jr., who will join the headliners in select cities.
Despite the tour’s name, it has not been confirmed that this will be the final run of dates for Clinton and the ensemble. The bandleader has a history of taking breaks from the road and embarking on periods of retirement.
