UPDATED: The Revolution announce tour dates

by Jay Gabler

February 06, 2017

The Revolution have announced four late-April tour dates in major U.S. cities. The shows — in Chicago (Metro, April 23), D.C. (Fillmore Silver Spring, April 27), New York City (B.B. King's, April 28), and Philadelphia (Theatre of Living Arts, April 29) — will follow the band's scheduled performance at the Paisley Park Celebration (April 20-23). The dates mark the first time the band have ever toured together without Prince.

Updated, March 6: The Revolution have extended their tour to a full 24-show U.S. trek, running through July 15. "When we played those shows, I choked up every single night," said bassist Brownmark in a statement to Rolling Stone. "But now, I'm past that stage of it — now I'm looking at my happy times, remembering being a kid, joining this huge band and starting out a journey in my life I did not ever expect." Full tour dates are below, with ticket information TBA:
