Chickenfoot’s Got Tour
They’re the people who have entertained you all these years – Joe Satriani, Red Hot Chili Peppers’ drummer Chad Smith and former Van Halenites Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony. The band makes their first TV appearance June 5 on “The Tonight Show With Conan O’Brien” – the same day their self-titled hits mass retail. We say “mass” because it’s already available for presale at Best Buy’s Web site.
Plus, Amazon will sell downloads of the album for $3.99 from June 5 through 8.
The band will also do a free show at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on Aug. 15.
The summer blast starts Aug. 2 in Nova Scotia at Halifax’s Citadel Hill with the band playing a gig at the Canadian Forces Halifax Festival. From there it’s Toronto at The Sound Academy Aug. 4; Pittsburgh at Riverplex Amphitheatre Aug. 5 and Chicago’s Riviera Theatre Aug. 7.
Other stops include The Fillmore Detroit on Aug. 8; the Myth in Saint Paul Aug. 10; Kansas City’s Uptown Theatre Aug. 11; the Fifth-Third Ballpark in Comstock Park, Mich., Aug. 13; NYC’s Beacon Theatre Aug. 17; Boston’s BofA Pavilion August 24; and the Uptown Amphitheatre at The Music Factory in Charlotte, N.C., Aug. 27.
The last date on the schedule is Sept. 5 at Harvey’s Lake Tahoe Arena. Expect the band to announce more dates soon.
All dates go on sale June 13 except for the August 24 show in Beantown which goes on sale June 12.
