<\/div>\n

The Doobie Brothers<\/a> have added 23 additional dates to their 50th anniversary tour. The news follows the band\u2019s announcement earlier this month \u2014 during their show at Nashville\u2019s Ryman Auditorium<\/a> \u2014 that former member Michael McDonald<\/a> will be once again joining their lineup.<\/p>\n

The singer-keyboardist will be joining Tom Johnston, Pat Simmons and John McFee as they tour together as The Doobie Brothers for the first time in nearly 25 years.<\/p>\n

Simmons stated, \u201cNext year our tour will include Tom, John, and myself, along with Michael McDonald, and the fans will have a chance to hear all our hits, as well as deep cuts, and new material. I know these will be very special performances.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aside from a brief reunion run in 1995, the last time<\/a> McDonald performed as the band leader was in 1982 at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, after which the band took a hiatus. When the group reformed in 1987, McDonald had by that point established himself as a solo artist and declined to join on their next tour.<\/p>\n

New Orleans jazz ensemble Dirty Dozen Brass Band<\/a> will open for The Doobie Brothers on all tour dates.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Tickets for the anniversary tour will go on sale to the general public on Friday, December 6th at 10:00 a.m. local time, with the exception of the performance at Soaring Eagle in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan, which will go on sale December 21st.<\/p>\n
