Ween has lined up a three-week European tour, kicking off Nov. 27 in Stockholm and wrapping Dec. 16 in Dublin. The group’s North American trek in support of its latest Sanctuary album, “Quebec,” will run through a Nov. 7-9 stand at Chicago’s Vic Theatre. While in the Windy City, Ween will also make an in-store appearance Nov. 8 at Tower Records on Clark Street.
“There is a very good chance that all three nights in Chicago will be professionally filmed and recorded for a DVD to be released on Sanctuary,” guitarist Mickey “Dean Ween” Melchiondo writes on the band’s official Web site. “The Chicago shows are selling unlike any other concerts we’ve ever done, so please follow the crowd and be a part of the first ever official live Ween concert movie.”
With “Quebec” having debuted at a career-best No. 81 on The Billboard 200 in August, Ween is also getting a lift thanks to the usage of an older song, “Ocean Man,” in a commercial for the Honda Civic.
