After a successful reunion show last month, Goodie Mob has agreed to a deal with promoter Guerilla Union to embark on a nationwide tour.
Despite this being the group’s first tour in 10 years, Cee-Lo explained that the decline in today’s popular music set the stage for Goodie’s reunion, which played to a sold out, turn away crowd in Atlanta.
“The reunion was inevitable. The void in today’s music and marketplace ironically has become the very place prepared for us,” he stated. ‘There’s a need and a want for what we do and represent as The Mob. Consider the tour a mission… an order if you will. The last of a living breed, the Goodie Mob marches on.”
Assisting Goodie Mob is legendary lyricist Scarface, who has been confirmed for every date on the tour.
This will be the Houston legend’s first nationwide tour since announcing his retirement following his last critically acclaimed album, 2008’s Emeritus.
Additionally, the Atlanta collective will be a part of several high-profile shows, starting with the BET Awards taping this Saturday (October 10), Cypress Hill’s Smokeout event (October 23), and an NYC show with Slaughterhouse and Tech N9ne.
At press time, Goodie Mob’s tour will run for 11 dates over the next two months.
Listed below are the confirmed tour dates:
October 15 New Orleans, LA House of Blues October 17 Austin, TX Stubb’s Waller Creek Amphitheatre October 19 Houston, TX House of Blues October 20 Dallas, TX House of Blues October 23 San Bernardino, CA The Cypress Hill SmokeOut October 24 San Francisco, CA The Fillmore October 28 Salt Lake City, UT The Depot October 29 Denver, CO The Gothic Theatre November 13 New York, NY Hammerstein Ballroom November 14 Washington, DC The Scene November 15 New Haven, CT Toad’s Place
