JOHN MELLENCAMP EXTENDS CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED PLAIN SPOKEN TOUR   John Mellencamp’s Plain Spoken Tour has been called “a triumphant, career-spanning show” (Hollywood Reporter) and a “superb performance…still full of fiery defiance” (Boston Globe). The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer launched the tour in early 2015 to support his critically-acclaimed 22nd studio album ‘Plain Spoken’ and extended with dates through Spring 2016 due to overwhelming fan demand. Following a run of more than 100 sold-out shows, Mellencamp announced today the seventh and final leg of the Plain Spoken tour, with support artist Carlene Carter, kicking off October 11 at the Hanover Theater in Worcester, MA. The tour will see The GRAMMY winner travel to 15 intimate venues across the country performing songs from his 22-studio album catalogue. Praised as “arguably the most important roots rocker of his generation”, Mellencamp's illustrious career has spanned more than four decades and continues to endure. The performance at the legendary The Chicago Theatre on Tuesday, October 25 will mark the return to Chicago where he performed two previous sold-out shows, and this concert will be filmed to capture Mellencamp’s spectacular showmanship on-stage. Read the complete press release on Mellencamp.com Plain Spoken Tour Dates The general public ticket on-sale for all shows are scheduled for Friday, April 29th @ 10:00 AM local time (except Hershey & Lincoln at 12:00 PM local, Worcester & Chicago May 6th @ 10:00 AM local time and Niagara Falls, NY May 20th @12 PM local).   Tues 11-Oct - Worcester, MA - The Hanover Theatre** Wed 12-Oct - Utica, NY - The Stanley Theatre Fri 14-Oct - Wilkes-Barre, PA - FM Kirby Center for the Performing Arts Sat 15-Oct -  Atlantic City, NJ - Borgata Casino Tues 18-Oct - Hershey, PA- Hershey Theater* Wed  19-Oct - Akron, OH  - Akron Civic Center  Fri 21-Oct - Toledo, OH - Stranahan Theatre Sat 22-Oct - Niagara Falls, NY - Seneca Niagara Casino***   Tue 25-Oct - Chicago, IL - The Chicago Theatre** Wed 26-Oct - Richmond, KY - Eastern Kentucky University Center for the Arts Fri 28-Oct - Columbia, MO - Jesse Auditorium  Sun 30-Oct - Ames, IA - Stephens Auditorium  Tue 1-Nov - Lincoln, NE - Lied Center* Wed 2-Nov - Sioux Falls, SD - Washington Pavilion - Mary W.

Is there any chance west coast/ southwest US shows may be added?



Tony, I saw your reply in another thread so no need to answer it here.  Hopefully in the winter months John and the band will be looking for warmer weather and will head out to CA.

Is there a certain spot where you have to look to get the presale code for the Sioux falls South Dakota show on November 2 and presale is tomorrow. Thanks in advanced
