Hall & Oates to tour US

Daryl Hall and John Oates have announced a 21-date US tour.

The trek gets underway on May 13 at the Gexa Energy Pavilion, Dallas – and the duo will be joined on the road by Sharon Jones And The Dap-Kings along with Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue.

The announcement was made by comedians Fred Armisen and Bill Hader in the guise of their Blue Jean Committee alter egos Gene and Clark.

Clark says: “You know who used to open for us? Daryl Hall and John Oates. We helped them out. They used to have a lot of chicks on stage and the minute they hit it big, they just left us in the dust – they don’t really talk to us anymore.”

Tickets go on general sale on February 12 (Friday) at 10am local time via LiveNation.

Last year, Hall & Oates launched a lawsuit against a cereal company who were selling granola under the Haulin’ Oats banner.

The duo were inducted into The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2014.
