I really enjoyed covering Hall & Oates last year when they played Staples Center with Tears for Fears (see review elsewhere on this blog). Now they'll be hitting the road again. Read on below...

Daryl Hall & John Oates and Train announced a co-headline North American summer tour, kicking off in May in Sacramento and wrapping in August in Seattle, WA. This marks the first time legendary duo will tour together with the Pat Monahan-fronted band. Fans can expect full sets from both acts, followed by a joint set.

Tickets for the tour go on sale to the general public beginning Monday, January 29 at 10am local time in most cities on LiveNation.com. Please see below for full tour itinerary and details.

Daryl Hall said of the summer outing, "This is going to be a tour filled with fun as well as great music. I love Train, and have a close relationship with Pat Monahan, going back to our 'Live From Daryl's House' show together."

"Looking forward to an amazing tour with our buddies from Train and seeing all our fans around the country in 2018," added John Oates.

"I've known Daryl Hall and John Oates for a few years now and after being their fan my entire life, we now get to tour with them and spend time with legends in the world of music. This will be a career highlight for all of us in Train and a show that you won't want to miss," said Pat Monahan.

The 2018 tour also marks the return of Daryl Hall and John Oates' HoagieNation Festival, taking place Saturday, May 26 in their hometown of Philadelphia at the Festival Pier. The annual celebration of food, music and culture will include tour mates Train as well as special guests Fitz and the Tantrums, Tommy Conwell and the Young Rumblers, and more to be announced. There will also be a pre-party Friday, May 25 at the Fillmore Philadelphia, complete with live music and an exclusive culinary experience. Full festival details at www.HoagieNation.com.
