The Monkees are going out with a bang!
On Tuesday, the musical group announced a North American farewell tour led by surviving members Micky Dolenz and Michael Nesmith.
Set to begin on Sept. 11 at Seattle's Moore Theatre, the tour will then wrap up a little over two months later on Nov. 14 at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles.
The Monkees Farewell Tour is set to feature songs across the band's entire career, from their 1966 self-titled debut album to 2016's Good Times!, according to a statement from the band.
"In addition to their hits, their farewell shows will spotlight songs featured on their Emmy-winning TV series ('The Girl I Knew Somewhere,' 'You Told Me,' 'Randy Scouse Git,' 'Goin' Down,' and 'For Pete's Sake') as well as music from their feature film Head ('Circle Sky' and 'As We Go Along)," the band added. "Plus some rarely performed deep cuts (such as 'Auntie's Municipal Court')."

Alongside Dolenz, 76, and Nesmith, 78, The Monkees were once also comprised of members Davy Jones and Peter Tork. Jones died of a heart attack back in 2012 while Tork died from adenoid cystic carcinoma in 2019.
Dolenz and Nesmith last toured in 2019 and were initially set to tour once more the following year, but the COVID-19 pandemic forced them to bring those plans to a halt.
Amid the health crisis, Dolenz recorded an album of tracks written by Nesmith — titled Dolenz Sings Nesmith — that is set to come out later this month on May 21, according to Rolling Stone.
Tickets and VIP packages for select dates of The Monkees Farewell Tour are currently on sale, while more are set to go on sale later this week.
More dates are also expected to be announced in the near future.
