"The Dark Side of the Mule Tour" with very special guest Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Evening
Following the reveal of a spring tour run, Gov’t Mule has now announced a 12-date summer amphitheater tour that includes at stop at Pine Knob Music Theatre on Wednesday, August 2 at 7 p.m. Pine Knob Music Theatre is presented by Proud Partners United Wholesale Mortgage, Trinity Health and Ally.
The Dark Side of the Mule Tour, produced by Live Nation, features the return of the Grammy-nominated band’s renowned and extremely rare Pink Floyd tribute performance which will follow a full Mule set and very special guest Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Evening opening. Gov’t Mule first debuted Dark Side of the Mule on Halloween 2008 at the Orpheum Theatre in Boston, which was recorded and later released as a live album in 2014. Years after, the band brought back the acclaimed set, a favorite with fans and critics alike, for a handful of shows, performing it only 10 times in total. With 2023 marking the 50th anniversary of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon, Gov’t Mule is joining in on the celebration of the legendary album and bringing back Dark Side of the Mule for one final time on this summer’s tour.
"This all started so organically with what we thought would be a one-time Halloween performance,” shares Warren Haynes, Gov’t Mule front man and guitarist. “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!”
Gov’t Mule – led by Grammy® Award-winning vocalist, songwriter, guitar legend, and producer Warren Haynes – first returns to the road this spring for a 10-date headlining run that kicks off May 5 in New Orleans during Jazz Fest and wraps in Haynes’ hometown of Asheville, NC with back-to-back shows at Salvage Station’s Outdoor Stage on May 19 and 20. Pre-sale tickets for the band’s Spring Tour are on sale now with the general on sale starting this Wednesday, March 8 at 10 a.m. local time.
