THE MONKEES FAREWELL TOUR

With Michael Nesmith & Micky Dolenz


Michael Nesmith and Micky Dolenz of The Monkees will embark on their farewell tour in September 2021. Commemorating 55 years of Monkeemania, the tour will embrace major markets in North America through the fall, launching on September 10 in Spokane and ending back where it all began in Los Angeles at The Greek Theatre on November 14. Their critically acclaimed concerts feature the voice of Dolenz (who sang The Monkees' biggest hits: "I'm A Believer," "Last Train To Clarksville," "Pleasant Valley Sunday" and "Steppin' Stone") and the group’s primary songwriter, Nesmith (who wrote such classics as "Mary, Mary," "Papa Gene's Blues," "You Just May Be The One," and "Listen To The Band," to name but a few).

Tickets and VIP packages for "The Monkees Farewell Tour" are on sale now! Please note that VIP Soundchecks will be happening only at the postponed 2020 dates.
​
"The Monkees Farewell Tour" will feature songs that span the band's entire career – from their 1966 self-titled debut album to 2016's Good Times! Their most recent release, The Monkees – The Mike & Micky Show Live, was issued in April 2020 and became their 17th Billboard charting album release. In addition to their hits, their farewell shows will spotlight songs featured on their Emmy-winning TV series ("The Girl I Knew Somewhere," "You Told Me," "Randy Scouse Git," "Goin' Down" and "For Pete's Sake") as well as music from their feature film Head ("Circle Sky" and "As We Go Along"). Plus some rarely performed deep cuts (such as "Auntie's Municipal Court") and tracks from their most-recent studio album, 2016's Good Times! ("Me & Magdalena" and "Birth Of An Accidental Hipster").
​
This farewell tour will mark the end of a unique project that began in 1965 when four young men were cast in a television show about a struggling rock band that was inspired by The Beatles' A Hard Day’s Night. Few could have predicted the impact The Monkees would have on music and pop culture at large, one that still reverberates more than 50 years later.

THE SET LIST

The set list on the Farewell Tour remained fairly consistent from opening night in Spokane, Washington. "Through the Looking Glass" was eventually switched out in favor of "Steam Engine" for three shows, but "Steam Engine" was ultimately replaced by "A Little Bit Me, A Little Bit You." 

Originally closing the main set before the encore, "Pleasant Valley Sunday" became the last song of the first set right before intermission.

Later in the tour, the following songs were dropped: "The Door Into Summer," "Circle Sky," "Me & Magdalena," and "What Am I Doing Hangin' 'Round?"
