Matisyahu has announced today that, for the first time in its history, he will take his annual Hanukkah celebration, Festival of Light, on tour. The series of shows, historically 8 shows in New York City and Brooklyn, will expand to additional northeast U.S. cities due to increasing demand from his fans. Set to kick off on November 29 at Brooklyn, NY’s Brooklyn Bowl, Matisyahu will perform four nights in Brooklyn – one show at the Brooklyn Bowl and three shows at Music Hall of Williamsburg – marking the fifth year in a row that he has brought his Festival of Light to hometown crowds. He’ll then head to Albany, Boston, Baltimore and Philadelphia before wrapping in Portland, ME on the last night of Hanukkah. Tickets go on sale on to the public on Friday, October 22nd while Matisyahu will hold a special pre-sale for his fans through Twitter and Facebook.
