(CelebrityAccess) — Funk icon George Clinton announced he is coming out of retirement to once again partner with Parliament Funkadelic for a North American tour.
The One Nation Under a Groove Tour will see Clinton taking the stage again, starting on June 15th at Summerstage in New York’s Central Park and with additional shows schedueld through the summer before wrapping on August 12th at Krug Winery in Napa.
The tour will also feature a rotating cast of guest starts that included Dopapod, The Motet, Pomps of Joytime, Fishbone, Soul Rebels, The Fantastic Negrito, and Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe, among others.
The return to touring is likely to be a surprise for many of Clinton’s fans. He announced plans to retire in 2018 and embarked on a One Nation Under a Groove Tour in 2019 that was widely considered to be a farwell.
“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.”
