The Moody Blues have announced that they will be hitting the road later this year to launch a 50th anniversary tour for their landmark album "Days of Future Passed."
The 1967 concept album made history with the fusion of a rock band and a symphony orchestra. The group will be breaking the shows on the tour up into two parts with them performing some of their biggest hits during the first half and then returning to play the iconic album in full during the second.
The tour is scheduled to kick off on June 3rd at the Agua Caliente Casino in Rancho Mirage, CA (Palm Springs area) and will conclude on July 23rd in Atlanta at the Chastain Park Amphitheatre.
Justin Hayward had this to say about the trek, "Little did we know when we made DAYS OF FUTURE PASSED that it would eventually change our lives - it took five long years to make it the top of the charts. But we mustn't take all the credit for this remarkable project - there were many creative minds who contributed at the time, and who believed in us when we were young and inexperienced.
"We just wrote the songs - about every-man. My dearest wish is that maybe the album has made the world a better place. It will be a joy to return to it, live."
