Ever since I heard Richard Wilkins mention Huey Lewis and the News were heading our way next year, I’ve been hanging out for the official tour announcement. We don’t quite have that yet, but the dates I’ve found are probably as close to it as we’ll get until the silly season is over.
The News’ guitarist Stef Burns posted the following dates on his website, and Huey confirmed the timeframe they’ll be Down Under in a Q&A section on the band’s website. So far, everything’s matching up. And the venues are incredible!
When Richard Wilkins made his Today report he said Richard Clapton and 1927 will act as the tour’s supports. What a recipe for a party! So we’re still waiting to hear when we can get our tickets, but at least we know what dates to save!
