John Lodge has announced new tour dates for later this year in which he will perform the Moody Blues’ classic 1967 album Days of Future Passed in its entirety.
The band’s bassist, singer and songwriter returned to the road this summer after having canceled tour dates at the start of 2024.
“In crafting this show, I wanted to ensure there was a place for all my Moodies bandmates,” Lodge notes in a press release announcing the new dates. “It’s a joy to perform not only my own songs but those of my friends Ray [Thomas] and Mike [Pinder] and to hear Jon [Davison] sing Justin [Hayward]’s songs. But my greatest joy is seeing Graeme [Edge] up onstage with me [via video]; it never stops being emotional. My hope is that we can all take a trip down days of future passed together and that audiences will leave feeling as if something joyful happened to them.
“It’s been a tough year, but thanks to the love of my family, and the support of my fans, I’m delighted to be back on the road, so thank you all for keeping the faith.”
