Don McLean announces 'American Pie' anniversary tour

Songwriters Hall of Famer Don McLean has announced a massive 2022 tour across North America celebrating the 50th anniversary of his classic staple 'American Pie'. The 29-date outing kicks off January 28th in Honolulu and continues into July hitting cities like Kansas City, Toronto, Nashville, Atlanta, Boston, New York, Baltimore, Houston and Denver. Later in the year, the same tour heads over to Europe for another extensive list of performances during the fall.

UPDATE: Tour dates have been extended into 2023 and 2024 hitting Napa, Alexandria, Ocean City, St. Charles, Solana Beach, Ojai, Honolulu, Chandler, North Tonawanda and Corpus Christi.

McLean's 1971 song 'American Pie' repeatedly mentions "the day the music died" which refers to the plane crash in 1959 that killed Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper and Ritchie Valens. The song was certified 3x Platinum by the RIAA and has been covered by numerous artists including Madonna and Garth Brooks. In his long career, McLean is also known for other popular tracks like 'Vincent (Starry Starry Night)', 'Castles in the Air', 'And I Love You So' and 'Cryin'. The veteran singer was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2004 and recently received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2021.
