Beastie Boys and Spike Jonze Announce “Beastie Boys Story” Shows

Mike D and Ad-Rock—the surviving members of the Beastie Boys—have announced a series of stage shows around their recent memoir, Beastie Boys Book. The shows will take place April 5 at the Tower Theater in Philadelphia and April 8-9 at Kings Theatre in Brooklyn. It’s unclear what exactly the format of the show will be, but Spike Jonze has been announced as “director.” Tickets go on sale tomorrow.

Beastie Boys went on Marc Maron’s “WTF” podcast last year to talk about the Beastie Boys Book, where they discussed their early days in New York and coming up as a band. Read “Beastie Boys Book Lets the World in on the Trio’s Inside Jokes” over on the Pitch.
