Rocker will perform 76 cities

John Mellencamp has announced his Live and In Person 2023 Tour that’s set to kick off in February. The Americana rocker shared the news from his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame opening of his new permanent exhibition this morning (Thurs, Sept 29th).

Presented by longtime promoter AEG Presents and sponsored by Turner Classic Movies, the tour will see 76 shows beginning with two nights in Bloomington, Indiana on February 5th and February 6th and concluding with two nights in South Bend, Indiana on June 23rd and 24th. The tour includes multiple nights in New York City, Chicago, Vancouver, Nashville, Clearwater, Minneapolis and more, as well as stops in TCM’s home of Atlanta, Los Angeles and other major cities across the US.

The partnership with TCM is a landmark collaboration and a first for Mellencamp, who has never previously had a tour promotional partner in all his years of performing live.

Citi cardmembers will have access to presale tickets for all US dates beginning Tuesday, October 4th at 10 am local time until Thursday, October 6th at 10 pm local time through Citi Entertainment. A Mellencamp mailing list pre-sale begins Wednesday, October 5th at 10 am local time. Turner Classic Movie newsletter subscribers will have early access to tickets beginning Thursday, October 6th at 10 am local time.

A limited number of exclusive VIP packages will also be available starting Tuesday, October 4th at 10 am local time. These exclusive offers can include incredible reserved seated tickets in the front row, custom merchandise and much more.

Tickets for the John Mellencamp Live and In Person 2023 Tour will go on sale to the general public Friday, October 7th at 10 am local time via Ticketmaster.

Legends of Rock: John Mellencamp opened at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, a new, permanent part of the museum’s beloved and expanding Legends of Rock exhibit. Museum goers can expect to see artifacts including the suit worn in promotional photos for Mellencamp’s 2003 album Trouble No More, his 1976 Fender Telecaster Custom guitar played onstage extensivel and the studio tracking chart for “Jack and Diane” from 1981, as well as an oil painting by Mellencamp himself, Backbone (2022), reworked from a 1993 self-portrait.

A reissue of Mellencamp’s beloved eighth studio album, Scarecrow, is set for release November 4th on Mercury/UME. The box set will include two CDs of newly remixed and remastered songs plus previously unreleased bonus tracks and alternate versions, a booklet full of rare photograph and all new liner notes by acclaimed author and music critic Anthony DeCurtis. Mellencamp is a member of the Rock and Roll and Songwriters Halls of Fame, a recipient of the John Steinbeck Award, ASCAP Foundation’s Champion Award, The Woody Guthrie Award, the Americana Music Association’s Lifetime Achievement Award, and most recently, the Founders Award, the top honor assigned by the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers.
