The Upcoming Monkees Summer

For those of you who missed The Monkees’ late 2012 tour, Michael Nesmith, Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork are giving you a another chance to see the band with a summer run beginning in mid-July.

Appropriately titled “A Midsummer’s Night With The Monkees,” the adventure launches in Port Chester, N.Y., July 15 and wraps in Portland, Ore., Aug. 18. 

Of course, The Monkees will be doing the hits that made them famous such as “Last Train To Clarksville,” “I’m A Believer,” “Pleasant Valley Sunday” and “(I’m Not Your) Steppin’ Stone.”  But the lads are expected to dig deeper into their first five platinum albums and will even pull out a few fan favorites from their cult film “Head.” 

 But it’s not just Michael, Micky and Peter backed by the same incredible band that appeared on the 2012 tour.  The shows will be multimedia events filled with rare films and one-of-a-kind photographs, giving fans a chance to spend an evening in the Monkees’ world.
