The Doobie Brothers celebrate 50 years with more tour dates this fall

As a die-hard fan who has followed the Doobie Brothers since their early days, I can’t help but feel nostalgic excitement as they extend their tour into the fall. Growing up with their music was like having my very own soundtrack to life, and seeing them live again brings back all those memories of joy, love, and good times.


The Doobie Brothers are still going strong on their extended 2024 tour, with live shows scheduled well into autumn. They’ve just announced extra performances in the tri-state area, giving fans more chances to see them. Some of the newly added venues include the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY (September 30 and October 1), the Borgata Event Center in Atlantic City, NJ (October 4), and Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, CT (October 5).

If you want to get your hands on tickets for these concerts, chances are you can still purchase them by heading over to the band’s official website.

On October 2nd, The Doobie Brothers will be performing at Holmdel’s PNC Bank Arts Center in New Jersey, offering another opportunity for nearby audiences to witness their iconic live performances. Currently touring together are Michael McDonald, Tom Johnston, Patrick Simmons, and John McFee. The return of Michael McDonald to the band is a significant event, marking a special reunion as they celebrate their 50th anniversary.

The comeback tour has been incredibly popular, as McDonald’s velvety voice harmonizes with Johnston’s authentic rock and blues roots. When McDonald first joined the band in 1975, he introduced a fresh sound that merged soul and soft rock, marking a significant change from their earlier, more rock-oriented tunes. His appearance on this anniversary tour has been a significant attraction for longtime fans.
