Micky Dolenz<\/a>, the last surviving member of The Monkees, will commemorate the band\u2019s 60th anniversary by going on tour next year. <\/p>\n The tour will \u201ctake audiences on a joyful, musical journey through the Monkees\u2019 history \u2014 performing the hits in chronological order, from the chart-topping classics to the fan favorites \u2014 all told with his signature warmth, wit, and stories,” Rolling Stone reported<\/a> while citing a press release.<\/p>\n The 25-date tour will kick off in Solana Beach, California on Feb. 12, 2026 and wrap up in Northfield, Ohio on Sept. 12, 2026. The actual 60th anniversary of the premiere of the Monkees television show will fall on Sept. 12, 2026. On that date, Dolenz will play a special concert in Los Angeles. The venue has yet to be announced.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve spent nearly my entire life either in front of or behind the cameras or microphones,\u201d Dolenz said statement, per Rolling Stone. \u201cMuch of what I\u2019ve been able to share with the world has come from this thing called \u2018The Monkees\u2019 \u2014 this wacky musical-comedy TV show about a band struggling for success. Interestingly, on the show, the Monkees never actually made it. Off-screen, however, we sold out concerts all over the world.\u201d<\/p>\n The 80-year-old continued, \u201cI remain proud of what I\u2019ve achieved in my time, particularly with my late great and still-beloved Monkee brothers Davy [Jones], Peter [Tork], and Michael. What I want to do, as the 60th anniversary of that wonderful moment is upon me, is to look back and share with the fans the sheer joy of what we accomplished\u2014and what it all still means to so many.\u201d<\/p>\n Dolenz, who began his entertainment career as child actor \u201cMickey Braddock\u201d on the 1950s series Circus Boy, continues to maintain the band\u2019s legacy following the deaths of his bandmates Jones in 2012, Tork in 2019 and Nesmith in 2021. Dolenz embarked on a solo tour in 2023 where he performed The Monkees 1967 album \u201cHeadquarters\u201d in its entirety, according to Rolling Stone. Since then, he\u2019s only played shows sporadically.<\/p>\n A full list of shows on the upcoming anniversary tour is below:<\/p>\n Debuting in 1966, The Monkees were one of the most successful bands of their era. The group\u2019s popularity was supported by the hits \u201cI\u2019m a Believer,\u201d \u201c(I\u2019m Not Your) Steppin\u2019 Stone,\u201d \u201cPleasant Valley Sunday\u201d and \u201cLast Train to Clarksville.\u201d <\/p>\n If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
