24 Exclusive Dates Announced For U.S.; Presales Start May 1
Following their sold out 2012 fall tour, Michael Nesmith, Micky Dolenz, and Peter Tork return to the concert stage this summer for a reprise.

Dubbed “A Midsummer’s Night With The Monkees,” the jaunt kicks off at Port Chester, New York’s Capitol Theatre on July 15 and wraps at Portland, Oregon’s Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall on August 18.

General on sales for all dates begin May 3. THE MONKEES PRESENT will also be sold separately.
