(New York, NY) Mott the Hoople ‘74 have announced a new run of fall tour dates, following a critically acclaimed spring tour which found them playing their first U.S. shows in 45 years to rave reviews and sold-out rooms like NYC’s Beacon Theater. The band - featuring Ian Hunter, Ariel Bender, and Morgan Fisher - kicks off an eleven-date run on October 21 at the historic Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY, making their way west for shows at the Orpheum in Los Angeles, The Fox Theater in Oakland, and much more. An exclusive Spotify Fans First pre-sale begins tomorrow, July 30, at 10am local time. Go HERE for more info and see below for a full list of dates.
Mott the Hoople ‘74 impressed critics and delighted fans on the first leg of their 2019 tour, with immeasurable energy and timeless swagger. The Minneapolis Star Tribune called their set at First Avenue “one of the most exciting rock ‘n’ roll shows in recent memory,” while The Philadelphia Inquirer said “[Hunter’s] long, fruitful career deserves Rock and Roll Hall of Fame consideration.”
Speaking of, just before the spring tour launched, Hunter closed out the 2019 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, leading 2019 inductees Def Leppard, Queen guitarist Brian May, and others in an “epic performance” (Rolling Stone) of the Mott classic “All The Young Dudes.”
