With Pink Floyd unlikely to reunite ever again, Gov’t Mule will fill the void this summer by embarking on “The Dark Side of the Mule Tour.”
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of The Dark Side of the Moon, Gov’t Mule will perform Pink Floyd covers on a newly announced amphitheater tour. Each show will also feature a separate set of Gov’t Mule originals, as well as special guest opener Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Evening.
According to frontman Warren Haynes, the upcoming tour will mark the final “Dark Side of the Mule” performances. “This all started so organically with what we thought would be a one-time Halloween performance [in 2018]. Since then, ‘Dark Side of the Mule’ has grown into something else. It’s a blast to perform this material but our intent is to do it for one final tour in celebration of the 50th anniversary of Dark Side. Don’t miss it!”
A Live Nation pre-sale for “The Dark Side of the Mule Tour” is set for Thursday, March 9th (use access code OPENER), with a public on-sale following on Friday, March 10th via Ticketmaster.
Tickets to all of Gov’t Mule’s upcoming shows are also available via Stubhub — where your order is 100% guaranteed through Stubhub’s FanProtect program.
Meanwhile, Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters is gearing up to release his own version of The Dark Side of the Moon, which he secretly re-recorded without the involvement or knowledge of any of his former bandmates.
