BREAKING ANNOUNCEMENT: Just Now in Los Angeles, California, USA — Rolling Stone Has Officially Announced Micky Dolenz’s 2026 Tour, “60 Years of The Monkees”
In a moment that feels both nostalgic and historic, Rolling Stone has confirmed that Micky Dolenz, the beloved drummer and vocalist of The Monkees, will embark on a monumental new tour titled “60 Years of The Monkees” — a celebration of six decades of laughter, harmony, and timeless hits that defined an era.
Set to begin in early 2026, the tour will honor the band’s extraordinary journey — from television phenomenon to global music icons — through an unforgettable mix of live performance, storytelling, and rare personal reflections. According to the announcement, Micky Dolenz plans to perform The Monkees’ greatest hits in chronological order, taking fans on a musical time machine through the band’s legendary catalog.
“It’s more than just a concert,” Micky shared in a statement released this morning. “It’s a celebration of friendship, creativity, and the music that brought so much joy — to us and to the fans who’ve kept it alive all these years.”
From “Last Train to Clarksville” and “I’m a Believer” to “Daydream Believer”, “Pleasant Valley Sunday”, and the later works that reflected the group’s artistic evolution, each song will be accompanied by intimate stories, unseen photos, and never-before-heard memories from The Monkees’ recording sessions, tours, and time on set.
Now the last living member of The Monkees, Micky’s voice carries not just the melody of a generation, but the memory of three brothers in music — Davy Jones, Peter Tork, and Michael Nesmith — whose lives and talents shaped pop culture forever. “Every time I step on stage,” Micky said, “I feel them with me. This tour is for them — and for everyone who ever sang along.”
Fans are already calling the event “the tribute of a lifetime,” and early ticket demand has reportedly surged within hours of the announcement. Music insiders are describing it as one of the most anticipated tours of the decade — a heartfelt bridge between the past and the present, between nostalgia and celebration.
Rolling Stone’s announcement hints that select shows will include special guest appearances, as well as multimedia tributes featuring archival footage and personal recordings from The Monkees’ private collection — offering audiences an unprecedented look behind the curtain of one of the most beloved groups in pop history.
For millions who grew up with their music — and for new generations discovering it through streaming platforms and classic TV — “60 Years of The Monkees” promises to be more than a concert. It’s a love letter to friendship, laughter, and the songs that never stopped playing.
As one fan wrote moments after the announcement: “We may have lost The Monkees, but through Micky, their music still smiles.”
With tickets set to go on sale later this month, the countdown has begun. The stage is waiting, the stories are ready, and soon — for one extraordinary tour — Micky Dolenz will once again make the world believe.
