Hootie & the Blowfish announces 1st tour since 2019: See all the 2024 dates
For the first time since 2019, Hootie & the Blowfish will embark on a North American tour next year.
The Summer Camp With Trucks Tour 2024 will stop in 43 cities in the U.S. and Canada, kicking off on May 30 in Dallas and concluding on Sept. 28 in West Palm Beach, Florida. The band will be joined by special guests Collective Soul and Edwin McCain.
Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. local time on Friday, Nov. 10, at Hootie.com.
Guitarist Mark Bryan, bassist Dean Felber, frontman Darius Rucker and drummer Jim “Soni” Sonefeld formed Hootie & the Blowfish as students at the University of South Carolina in the '80s. They've since sold more than 25 million albums, including their debut album "Cracked Rear View," which remains among the 10 best-selling albums in U.S history, according to a press release.
"Basically overnight, our lives changed when 'Cracked Rear View' did what it did — and yet as we quickly moved from vans and college bars to tour buses and arenas, not much else changed with how we approached making music and sharing it with our fans," Bryan said in a statement.
"Edwin McCain told someone at the time that touring with us felt like summer camp with trucks," he added, "and that’s exactly how we want next year to feel, too."
