In 2018, legendary artist George Clinton announced his retirement from touring. Now, though, that hiatus seems to be over.
The people have spoken and Clinton is back, resuming his One Nation Under a Groove Tour with a number of Spring and Summer dates set for the U.S. this year (see the full list of dates below).

Clinton, who has been making music and touring for 50 years, has apparently rested up during the pandemic and is set to play for the people again. It’s time.
His tour will begin in New York City on June 15 and will conclude after 17 dates in Napa, California on August 21. Openers include Dopapod, Pimps of Joytime, The Motet, Fishbone, Fantastic Negrito, and more.
Pre-sale for the tour begins on Wednesday, with tickets available for the public on Friday at noon local time. Get them at Ticketmaster.
