George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic is back with the One Nation Under a Groove Tour, with iconic front-man George Clinton still at the helm, and this time, he’s bringing his friends. New luminaries of the funk & jam world will support the tour, including The Motet, Dopapod, The Pimps of Joytime, as well as special guests on select shows Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe, The Floozies, and others to be announced (see tour website for exact lineups in each city). Presale begins Wednesday, March 23. Tickets will be on-sale to the general public Friday, March 25 at 12:00PM EST at www.onenationunderagroovetour.com.
After announcing his retirement in 2018, the One Nation Under a Groove Tour in 2019 was thought to be Clinton’s farewell tour. Fans and admirers packed sold out amphitheaters across the country, proving the world is not ready for the P Funk Party to stop. Back by popular demand, the One Nation Under a Groove Tour will make stops across the country including New York’s iconic Summerstage in Central Park, and the new YouTube Theater in Inglewood, CA (part of the brand new SoFi Stadium complex) with more shows to be announced.
“George Clinton has singlehandedly done more to push music forward than any other artist I can recall. This tour represents that ‘big tent’ he’s created that includes so many generations.” says Nick Szatmari of Universal Attractions Agency, who has represented George & P-Funk for the last 15 years and helped co-create the One Nation Under a Groove Tour with his partner Jeff Epstein at UAA. Epstein adds “George has influenced artists across so many cultures, generations, genres. Our musical lives would not be the same if we never had George Clinton, and this is a once in a lifetime chance to come together and witness first-hand the next chapter of his iconic career being written before our eyes.”
