John Mellencamp will release his 23rd album, “Sad Clowns & Hillbillies”, on April 21 and has announced dates for a North American tour in support of the project.
The record sees the Indiana rocker working with country legend Carlene Carter, who opened every show of his acclaimed 2015-2016 Plain Spoken tour.
Carter will return to hit the road with Mellencamp for shows staring June 5 in Denver, CO, with dates currently scheduled to the end of summer; the pair will be joined by Emmylou Harris and folk-pop sister duo Lily & Madeleine.
Multi-platinum selling recording artist Jewel will also step in for the tour’s two Oregon dates, substituting for Emmylou Harris as the special guest opener.
Mellencamp.com and VIP pre-sale tickets will be available beginning February 22 at 10:00am, with general public seats on sale beginning February 24 at 10:00am.
Every online ticket comes with one physical CD of “Sad Clowns & Hillbillies.”
