The Gnarls Barkley tour is officially happening, with CeeLo Green and Danger Mouse hitting the road together for the first time in 18 years. The duo announced a nine city North American run called the To Whom It Still Concerns Tour, and Atlanta is right there on the list.
The Live Nation run kicks off November 5 at The Masonic in San Francisco and wraps November 28 at the House of Blues in Chicago. The hometown show lands November 10 at the Coca-Cola Roxy, a big night for two artists who both came up in Atlanta.
Between the first and last shows, the Gnarls Barkley tour hits The Wiltern in Los Angeles on November 7, The Fillmore Detroit on November 13, Citizens House of Blues Boston on November 15, The Fillmore Silver Spring just outside DC on November 19, HISTORY in Toronto on November 22 and Irving Plaza in New York on November 24.
Tickets for the Gnarls Barkley tour start with a Citi and Spotify presale on September 21, followed by an artist presale on September 23. General sale opens September 24 at 10 a.m. local time through Live Nation.
The tour supports Atlanta, the album the duo released in March. It is their first project since The Odd Couple in 2008, and they have called it their third and final album. Green and Danger Mouse said they always planned to make a third record, but other creative work kept getting in the way until they reconnected last year to finish their story. The first single from the album was “Pictures.”
Green described the tour as an open book about life, death and everything in between. He called the new songs “the silver lining to an otherwise sad story” and invited fans to come celebrate with them.
Gnarls Barkley became a household name with their 2006 debut, St. Elsewhere, which gave the world “Crazy.” The song peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and sat at No. 1 in the U.K. for nine weeks. The duo was also known for performing in costume, so fans are already wondering what the stage looks like this time around.
The run does not stop in North America. The duo also announced U.K. dates from December 8 through 12 in Manchester, Glasgow, Wolverhampton and London, with Duckwrth and Sogallant named as special guests.
