Hey, hey, this summer marks the 50th anniversary of the Monkees’ television series and the release of their debut single, “Last Train To Clarksville.” To celebrate, the group has announced an extensive North American tour including a stop at the Hard Rock Rocksino Northfield Park on June 5. The band also plans to issue a new album, Good Times!, which features new songs by Noel Gallagher, Rivers Cuomo and Ben Gibbard.

In the wake of original member Davy Jones’s death in 2012, the surviving members of the group reunited and performed a series of concerts. Now, Micky Dolenz and Peter Tork are back on the road again with “a full evening of magic music and multi- media splendor.” The concert will feature clips from the group’s Emmy Award-winning series too. Each singer will also peform an acoustic set.

Reserved tickets go sale at 10 a.m. tomorrow at the venue box office, ticketmaster.com, Ticketmaster outlets or by phone at 800-745-3000.

  1. The Monkees having a 50th anniversary celebration is beyond spectacular. It is something deserved for a band that usually goes unacknowledged for their accomplishments. The Monkees by far transformed the music industry and are by far the best band ever. When I heard the news of the tour I was so happy and excited. However, I was sadden that they are not coming to my city. I am still very proud of them and can’t wait for their new album. The Monkees are the best and Davy may be deceased but I’m pretty sure he will be on the stage with the band.
