NOFX Announces Final Shows of Punk Legends’ Farewell Tour

• By Daniel Kreps

Daniel Kreps

When punk legends NOFX first revealed plans for their farewell tour in September 2022, frontman Fat Mike promised, “Los Angeles will be the last place we play. It’s where we started, it’s where we’ll end.” Over two years later, the band has announced that their five-decade run will come to an end in October 2024 with a three-night stand in their native California.

Before that, however, NOFX have lined up another string of dates for their farewell tour, which was previously dubbed “40 Years, 40 Cities, 40 Songs” due to each gig’s unique 40-song setlist. However, the trek expanded overseas (including Australia and Europe) and now into 2024, with the next run of dates beginning April 6 in Fort Worth, Texas.

NOFX Announce 2024 North American Tour, Including Final Shows Ever

They will finish their 40-year career with three hometown Los Angeles shows

NOFX have announced the final shows of their farewell tour, which will see them sign off for good after a 40-year career.

The Los Angeles punk band have added 15 additional dates to their ‘40 Years, 40 Cities, 40 Songs Per Day Tour’, and they will end the run with three hometown shows in October 2024.

Tickets for the new shows are on sale here .

Speaking about playing their final dates, frontman Fat Mike has said: “We’ve played over 2000 shows in 33 countries, in more than 300 cities and darn it…we’re a bit tired. One thing I know in my heart…this is going to be the most emotional, heartbreaking, greatest tour of our career. I’ve never been so excited and at the same time terrified. Mostly excited…”

Last September, Fat Mike told fans on Instagram that  the band would be breaking up in 2023, having formed in 1983. “It’s been an amazing run,” he wrote at the time.

In January, the band announced a string of US and UK dates , which took place between April and September.

“This is not a final tour like  Mötley Crüe  or  Black Sabbath ,” Fat Mike said in a statement at the time. “These are the very last shows NOFX will ever be playing. We are gonna play with all our hearts…With all our joy…And then we are done. We are done done.”

Last December, NOFX guitarist  Eric Melvin suggested the band could still release new music after retiring from touring . “He still wants to record and release records as NOFX,” Melvin said, referring to Fat Mike. “So we’ll see how that works because they kind of go hand-in-hand, but they don’t have to.”

NOFX released their latest album  ‘Double Album’  in December 2022, while Fat Mike launched a new band called  Codefendants , which he described as a “genre fluid musical collective — a cross between hip hop, new-wave, flamenco, and the Beatles”.

NOFX will play:

NOFX Announces Final Tour: 40 Years, 40 Cities, 40 Songs Per Day

Influential punk band NOFX is known as one of the world’s most controversial and significant punk bands of their time. They are no strangers to pushing boundaries at their live shows, and their final tour will be no different. The dream team of NOFX and Cameron Collins from Brew Ha Ha Productions and the Punk In Drublic Craft Beer & Music Festival has reunited to curate the first wave of announced tour dates in the United States.

The forty-cities-around-the-world tour begins on April 22 in Austin, Texas and concludes in October 2024 in Los Angeles, California. NOFX will perform forty songs a night, including full albums and rarities, plus they will never repeat a setlist to ensure that each show is unique.

NOFX frontman Fat Mike says: "This is not a final tour like MÖTLEY CRÜE or BLACK SABBATH … These are the very last shows NOFX will ever be playing. We are gonna play with all our hearts…With all our joy…And then we are done. We are done done."

NOFX final tour commences with a massive 21+ punk rock and beer weekend camping festival at Carson Creek Ranch in Austin, Texas on April 22 and April 23 that will feature special guests PENNYWISE , CIRCLE JERKS , FACE TO FACE , RIVERBOAT GAMBLERS , CODEFENDANTS , GET DEAD , BAD COP BAD COP , THE BOMBPOPS , PEARS , PIÑATA PROTEST and more.

Tickets for these shows go on sale this Friday, January 13 at 10:00 a.m. PT at www.PunkInDrublicFest.com. Options include single day, the Bro Bundle, VIP, and more including a digital download of each show with ticket purchase.

Initial tour dates are as follows, with more European dates, venues, and lineups to be announced soon:

April 22- 23 - Austin, TX – Carson Creek Ranch (campout) May 13 - San Diego, CA May 19-20 - Barcelona, Spain June 02 - Linz, Austria June 24-25 - Columbus, OH (campout) July 22- 23: Tacoma, WA September 16 - San Francisco, CA September 30 - St. Petersburg, FL

NOFX formed in Los Angeles back in 1983. They were forged in the same fiery furnaces of the L.A. hardcore scene that gave us BAD RELIGION , SUICIDAL TENDENCIES , THE GERMS and DESCENDENTS . NOFX sharpened their teeth in that tumultuous talent pool until they joined forces with Epitaph Records in 1989 and went on to release a string of crucial skate-punk albums. Their first major breakthrough came in the form of 1990's "Ribbed" , still a fan favorite, they then followed up with now-classics "White Trash, Two Heebs And A Bean" and "Punk In Drublic" , the latter selling well over a million copies. That was a wildly successful decade for NOFX as the band popularized the Warped Tour and was the flagship band for the skate/surf/snow culture of the 1990s.

NOFX 's career-long ban on doing the mainstream press and media was lifted as they sought to actively share their dissent for the Bush administration and speak out against the invasion of Iraq. And once the floodgates were open, NOFX and their "Rock Against Bush" movement were everywhere: Newsweek , Rolling Stone , New York Times , Howard Stern and network television. All that high-profile interest and hype was reflected in the success of their 2003 record "The War On Errorism" , which was the No. 1 independent record in the country at the time if its release and topped Billboard 's indie chart.

NOFX announces final dates of farewell tour

NOFX has announced their last shows.

The long-running punk band's days on the live stage will come to a close with three performances in Los Angeles, taking place October 4-6.

Those dates will be preceded by the final U.S. leg of NOFX's farewell tour, which kicks off April 6 in Fort Worth, Texas.

"We've played over 2000 shows in 33 countries, in more than 300 cities and darn it…we're a bit tired," says frontman Fat Mike . "One thing I know in my heart…this is going to be the most emotional, heartbreaking, greatest tour of our career. I've never been so excited and at the same time terrified. Mostly excited…"

Tickets go on sale Monday, November 20. For the full list of dates and all ticket info, visit PunkinDrublicFest.com .

Fat Mike means it. After this tour, you'll never see NOFX again

The punk rock frontman explains why the 41-year-old band is calling it quits.

Social Sharing

Fat Mike says he'd usually "have to get loaded" to play a concert with his band NOFX. But at a recent show, the punk rock frontman went on stage completely sober. 

About 45 minutes into his two-hour set, he realized why he drank before playing: he was bored and used alcohol to entertain himself. 

"I've been playing for 40 years," he tells Q guest host Talia Schlanger . "I don't want to be bored in front of all these amazing fans. I want to be having a better time than they're having."

Fat Mike concluded that his choice to disband NOFX, which will officially break up after its final tour this year, was the right one. They're performing this weekend in Toronto, with stops later this month in Montreal and Moncton, wrapping up with three shows in their hometown of Los Angeles this October.

NOFX is one of the most prolific and longest-lasting punk bands of all time. Fat Mike put the band together in 1983 in Los Angeles. The three original members, which also includes guitarist Eric Melvin and drummer Erik Sandin, have remained in the band since that time, with lead guitarist and trumpeter El Hefe joining in 1991.

They've produced more than 40 albums, EPs, live records and compilations, and have sold more than seven million albums. To put that in perspective, NOFX has been together longer and put out more albums than The Clash, Operation Ivy and the Sex Pistols combined.

• Q with Tom Power Deryck Whibley didn't know he'd end Sum 41 until he listened to their final album

During the COVID lockdown, Fat Mike realized that he didn't miss touring at all. He hadn't been enjoying himself for many years, but knew that his bandmates counted on the band for their incomes. 

He came up with the idea of a farewell tour to cushion the blow. The band would work with a promoter to play in parking lots and campgrounds, so they could receive money from sales of tickets, drinks and merchandise. If they worked with a ticketing platform, they wouldn't be able to get a cut of all these revenue streams. 

"I told the band, 'Hey, you guys, if we do this, it's going to be really lucrative," Fat Mike says. "And the crowds are really big, so we're finally making good money…. We're actually making enough money to where we'll be set for a while."

Fat Mike says that 8,000 people came out for NOFX's first night of their farewell tour in Edmonton, and 5,000 people for the second one. Before, the band would usually only garner a crowd of 2,000 people. 

"We've never had crowds this big before," he says. "They really appreciate us now more than they ever have."

NOFX is already preparing to go out with a bang. When they end their 40-city tour in Los Angeles, they'll play a new song that's never been performed and will never be recorded. 

Fat Mike wouldn't give Schlanger much detail about it, but says it's called We Did It Our Way . "It's going to be a real tearjerker," he says. "I'm seriously getting teary-eyed right now. I don't know how I'm going to get through the last show."

But Fat Mike can't wait for his life post-NOFX. While he didn't say much about his future plans, he disclosed that this project will be the "most important thing" he'll ever do, and it won't be in music or in entertainment.

Looking back over 40 years of NOFX, he has no regrets. 

"What I'm so proud of is the NOFX body of work as a whole," he says. "What I love about it, is that it's over. This is what we did ."

Along the way, Fat Mike and co. are slated to drop into Brooklyn’s newly-opened Paramount Theatre for a trio of shows on Friday, July 12 , Saturday, July 13 , and Sunday, July 14 .

They’ll end their nationwide run at San Pedro, CA’s Outer Harbor Berth 46 on Oct. 4-6.

“We’ve played over 2,000 shows in 33 countries, in more than 300 cities, and darn it…we’re a bit tired,” Mike Burkett aka Fat Mike said about the band’s final tour. “One thing I know in my heart…this is going to be the most emotional, heartbreaking, greatest tour of our career. I’ve never been so excited and at the same time terrified. Mostly excited…”

At most cities on the run, the punk icons will stage mini multi-night residencies. For those who plan on attending back-to-back gigs (or in some cases, back-to-back-to-back), the band shared that each night will boast different set lists made up of hits, full-album performances, and rarities.

“We are gonna play with all our hearts…With all our joy…And then we are done. We are done done,” Fat Mike added.

If you want to pay your respects to NOFX one last time, it isn’t too late to scoop up last-minute tickets.

At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on tickets was $49 before fees on Vivid Seats.

Other shows have seats starting anywhere from $55 to $347 before fees.

Curious how much tickets will cost you to hear “The Separation of Church and Skate,” “Green Corn” and “The Decline” at the concert closest to you?

NOFX set list

Most recently, NOFX wrapped the European leg of their farewell tour.

According to Set List FM , here’s what they performed at their final overseas gig.

01.) “Intro” 02.) “Stickin’ in My Eye” 03.) “Murder The Government” 04.) “Bob” 05.) “Falling in Love” 06.) “Kids of the K-Hole” 07.) “Quart in Session” 08.) “All Outta Angst” 09.) “Liza and Louise” 10.) “I Believe in Goddess” 11.) “Eat the Meek” 12.) “180 Degrees” 13.) “It’s My Job to Keep Punk Rock Elite” 14.) “I Love You More Than I Hate Me” 15.) “We Called It America” 16.) “Mattersville” 17.) “Six Pack Girls” 18.) “Please Play This Song on the Radio” 19.) “Buggley Eyes” 20.) “The Separation of Church and Skate”

NOFX new music

On April 19, NOFX dropped the five-song EP “Half Album.”

Clocking in at a hair under 15 minutes, the mini-album gets underway with the tongue-in-cheek ballad “Fake-a-Wish Foundation” about a friend who pretended to have brain cancer.

After that, the quartet launches into straightforward, no-frills punk. The second track, “I’m A Rat,” is a non-stop, guitar-heavy thrill ride that will have you headbanging in no time.

Up third, they change tempos for just a minute on the oddly calming “The Queen Is Dead” before kicking back into high gear with their fastest, wildest track yet.

The penultimate song, “The Humblest Man In The World,” is probably the EP’s most radio-friendly. Not too fast, not too slow. Dare we say, just right?

Finally, the “Half Album” comes to a close with the slow burn of “The Last Drag.” It’s a fitting end to the short record — a mournful preamble, an uplifting middle with the unforgettable refrain “this is my detox and I’ll cry if I want to” and an anthemic heavy close. It’s a rock opera in and of itself.

The punk rock pioneers chose freedom — and chaos — over major labels. Pulling the plug while things are still working is one final act of rebellion.

“It’s like going to your own wake.”

Mike Burkett, known exclusively in the punk rock world as Fat Mike, was talking about the farewell tour for his band, NOFX, during which the group is traveling to 40 cities, with 40 songs per concert, celebrating their 40 years as a band.

The tour started a year ago in Barcelona and will end where it all began for them, in Los Angeles, with three shows from Oct. 4-6. Fat Mike, 57, along with Eric Melvin, Aaron Abeyta and Erik Sandlin are, collectively, experiencing the feels.

“This is it,” Fat Mike, the band’s singer, songwriter and bassist, said of the prospect of touring again after this. “We aren’t Kiss, or Black Sabbath, or Mötley Crüe. This is the end.”

“It’s kind of sad, saying goodbye,” said Mr. Abeyta, 58, the group’s guitarist and trumpet player, who goes by the nickname El Hefe. “We’re family. We’re basically brothers. We’ve lived on the road together, on a bus, sometimes in the same bed.”

“It’s weird, it’s uncertain, it’s scary,” said Mr. Sandlin, 57, the group’s drummer who was nicknamed Smelly for the drug-fueled flatulence of his earlier days. (He’s been sober and clean for years.) “I feel like I’m losing a leg.”

Mr. Melvin, 57, the band’s guitarist, acknowledged there was some tension over walking away while the band was still successful. “But I’m just trying to enjoy it, trying to feel it,” he said. “We’ve all gone through it in our own way, but we’ve gone through it together. We’ve got some scars, scar tissue, some sensitivities that can’t be touched anymore, but I can focus on the good stuff.”

NOFX may not be a household name, but to those in the punk world, it’s been the gold standard that’s endured the ebbs and flows of hardcore music. The band’s reputation has rested not only on its songs — packed with crunchy riffs, breakneck drumming and melodic vocals with classic SoCal harmonies — but also on how its musicians have handled their careers. As teenagers, the members of the group decided they did not want to work for anyone, and 40 years later they are retiring as punk rock royalty — and one of the most prominent examples in pop culture of a D.I.Y. ethic taken to extremes.

Formed in 1983, well before more popular punk bands like Blink-182, Green Day and the Offspring, NOFX has never had a radio hit and refused to join the parade of alternative bands on MTV in the 1990s. The group has been defiant and prolific, producing 15 full-length albums — one gold record, “Punk in Drublic,” among them — 17 EPs and countless seven-inch records.

Despite minimal media coverage, the band says it has sold more than seven million records, exclusively releasing them on independent labels, chief among them: Fat Wreck Chords, an imprint co-owned and controlled by Fat Mike.

“We’ve always done things ourselves,” Fat Mike said.

While most bands look to attract fans, NOFX spent four decades perfecting the art of something more akin to anarchist self-centered sabotage. Like a show in London in 2000 when Fat Mike, Mr. Melvin and Mr. Abeyta decided to take ecstasy before going onstage. “Melvin is trying to play the accordion and he can’t,” Fat Mike said, laughing. “It was our biggest show and we took the punk way out. We were all dying laughing.”

“Who cares?” he added. “Why NOFX are so good is because we’re having a better time than our fans.”

In the band’s formative years, NOFX’s defining quality was how bad the group was — bad musicians and bad singers, with Fat Mike’s distinctive, whiny-sounding lead vocals and Mr. Melvin’s guttural, monotone screams. They were kids with trauma — abandonment, molestation, addiction — who found a community that accepted them. In “Hepatitis Bathtub,” the band’s unflinching autobiography, you learn about Fat Mike drinking out of a beer bong made from a sex toy, Mr. Sandlin buying his first drum set with drug money and Mr. Abeyta being interrogated by the secret service for a counterfeit cash scheme.

The early days were defined by blistering, puerile songs, many of which did not have choruses — a style that remains their trademark. A show promoter, concerned by how poorly they sounded, once paid the band $13 not to play.

But after Fat Mike heard Bad Religion’s seminal punk album, “Suffer,” which was released in 1988, he and the other members of the group decided to “stop sucking.”

While Mr. Sandlin is not sure Fat Mike’s vocals ever achieved the goal — “Mike’s voice started out horrible. It got mediocre. Now it’s back to horrible.” — the band slowly got more proficient, starting with the release of “Ribbed,” in 1991. That year, the music industry was turned on its head by the release of Nirvana’s “Nevermind,” an “extinction-level” event in pop music, according to Fat Mike. Mainstream music took an edgy turn and, within a few years, bands calling themselves punk, including NOFX, found themselves courted by major labels. But Fat Mike — just Fat Mike — wanted to stay the D.I.Y. course.

“I started to doubt,” Mr. Abeyta said. “I was looking at these other bands that used to open for us, sleep on our bus when we were at hotels — Green Day, Offspring — and we’re watching them all blow up and make millions. We all thought about it, me, Smelly and Melvin. Are we making the right decision?”

Fat Mike’s main argument — “You are getting into bed with a corporation. You are not an artist. You are an employee.” — eventually won over the others. “I convinced the guys. It took me four months,” he said.

“We were doing fine,” he continued. “We bought houses. I asked the guys, ‘Are you happy with what you’re doing?’”

The others agreed they were, so Fat Mike said, “If we just keep doing what we’re doing, we’ll have one of the most awesome careers ever and we’ll be happy the whole time.”

That’s mostly what happened. NOFX traveled the country and eventually the world, playing more than 3,000 shows across 33 countries and more than 600 cities.

“Over the years I’ve been asked if we made a bad decision,” Mr. Melvin said. “Sure, we could have made more money but also burned out quickly or gotten a lot of popularity which would have caused a backlash.” He said he knows people who signed to major labels. “They make a salary, but they’re told what to do, when they need to write, when they need to produce a new album, when they need to tour — that wasn’t for us.”

Controversies aside — most of which involved drugs, onstage banter taken too far and the unpredictability of both the band and its fans — the members of NOFX managed to do something most people can only dream of: They avoided having a day job for 40 years.

What’s the secret to such an unusual path to success?

“To have fun,” Mr. Sandlin says. “To have no expectations, enjoy the moment. I see a lot of bands make the mistake of wanting to be huge — and they start missing the moment.”

“People don’t understand money or success,” Fat Mike said. “Success is happiness. And if you’re happy, you know what there’s isn’t? More happiness.”

Along the way, there have been failed business ventures like Mr. Melvin’s cafe, “Spun Melvin,” and Mr. Abeyta’s nightclub, “Hefe’s Nightclub,” and, for Mr. Melvin, feeling the pressure to drink and do drugs because that’s what people expected of him. “That became a job.”

Now the final tour. The band is drawing large, often sold-out crowds of 5,000 to 15,000 fans per show. “We declined to work with Live Nation or AEG except for a couple of cities,” Fat Mike said. “And we only play parking lots, campgrounds and parks. Our last three shows are going to be on a pier. We’ve always done things ourselves.”

Fat Mike was talking from his home in Las Vegas, where he partly owns and operates the Punk Rock Museum . It is one of the many business ventures he gets visibly excited to hype up — a portfolio that has reportedly made him millions but often leads to a palpable amount of frenetic energy emanating from him.

“That’s why I need to get tied up and beat,” he said of his S&M fetish and love of wearing women’s clothes, both of which have been incorporated into the band over years. “It’s the only time my mind stops working.”

He leads a busy life and felt it was time to say goodbye to NOFX — “We’re not a well-known band as far as popular music, but we’re loved. After 40 years, I’m so tired of it.” — even if the rest of the band needed convincing once again.

“None of them wanted to quit,” Fat Mike said of his bandmates.

“At first, we did resent him,” Mr. Abeyta said. “We didn’t agree with ending this. We were still making money, we still have an audience, people are still showing up at our shows. Their kids are growing up and coming to the shows. We’re like the Grateful Dead of punk rock.”

“Smelly was so pissed,” Fat Mike added. “I just took away his livelihood. I gave him no choice. And everyone was like, what are we going to do for money?”

For Mr. Sandlin, that could mean touring as a drum tech or building out his surfboard side hustle. Mr. Melvin has been working on a solo musical career and became a life coach. Mr. Abeyta recently got into acting. In addition to an eight-episode stint on “Mayans,” he’s shooting a film with Vince Vaughn and Al Pacino.

Fat Mike said he set up this last tour so “my boys” are financially secure, though when asked about this point, Mr. Melvin shut it down: “I don’t want to talk finances.”

Like any long-term relationship, NOFX’s scar tissue has been built up by what’s been left unsaid.

“I don’t want him to feel like he has to keep taking care of us,” Mr. Melvin said. “I’m afraid he’s thought that for a long time, which is kind of funny because I feel we’ve taken care of each other.” After a sizable pause, he added, “Quite a lot.”

“The four of us have a bit of an avoidance of conflict,” Mr. Melvin continued. “Maybe there were things we should have said to each other like, ‘I love you’ more, or ‘something seems to be going on with you, buddy, and I just want you to know that I’m here for you.’”

The band still has one another, at least until Los Angeles. When discussing the final show, Fat Mike got choked up. “Because it’s the last time anyone is going to see NOFX. I don’t know how I’m going to get through it,” he said. “Probably with a drug that makes me the least emotional.”

I loved the show, but I could do without all of the starter bands. NOFX only played for about an hour and a half compared to the 6 hours of starter bands.

Report as inappropriate

Show was amazing. No complaints. Keep up the good work. Drink stands were food. Service was good. Security was good. Keep up the good work. Thanks for the good experience.

The concert was the day of trumps election, and the previous show mike sprained his ankle. Suffice to say Fat Mike was not having a good night, and it showed. The band was totally not into playing and you could tell they just wanted to get off stage. CLASSIC NOFX, awesome show 10/10 would get called a poser again.

Alan Jackson’s farewell tour: Where to buy tickets to second of 10 final concerts

• Updated: Aug. 16, 2024, 9:21 a.m.
• | Published: Aug. 16, 2024, 9:20 a.m.

Alan Jackson's second concert on his farewell tour will be on Saturday, Aug. 24, 2024, in Grand Rapids, Michigan. In this PennLive file photo, he performs at the Giant Center in Hershey, Pa., in May 2019. PENNLIVE.COM

Country music superstar Alan Jackson started his farewell tour earlier this month in Boston.

The “Last Call: One for the Road” tour continues on Saturday, Aug. 24, 2024, in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Jackson has sold more than 75 million records, 50 Top 10 songs, 35 No. 1 songs, 16 Country Music Association awards, two Grammy Awards and 17 Academy of Country Music awards. In 2021, he revealed that he has Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease.

How to get an Aerosmith refund. What fans need to know about canceled farewell tour

Another legendary band has canceled an upcoming show in Knoxville, and this one likely won't be rescheduled.

Aerosmith canceled its Oct. 5 show at Thompson-Boling Arena at Food City Center, along with all other shows scheduled for the “Peace Out” farewell tour.

The band announced Aug. 2 the "difficult, but necessary" decision to cancel and retire from touring because of frontman Steven Tyler's severe vocal cord injury, which occurred in 2023 shortly after the farewell tour began.

"As you know, Steven’s voice is an instrument like no other. He has spent months tirelessly working on getting his voice to where it was before his injury," the band said in a statement. "We’ve seen him struggling despite having the best medical team by his side. Sadly, it is clear that a full recovery from his vocal injury is not possible."

How to get Aerosmith concert refunds

Knoxville fans who purchased tickets to the Oct. 5 concert through Ticketmaster should have their purchases fully refunded. Those who purchased tickets via third-party sites − such as SeatGeek, StubHub or VividSeats − should reach out to those sites.

Aerosmith was first scheduled to perform at Food City Center in January. However, all tour dates were postponed last September because of Tyler’s vocal injury.

Those tickets would have been honored for the Oct. 5 show and should also be eligible for refunds.

"A final thank you to you - the best fans on planet Earth," the band said in its statement. "Play our music loud, now and always. Dream On. You’ve made our dreams come true."

Why did Aerosmith retire from touring?

Steven Tyler, 76, sustained a vocal cord injury in September 2023 during the band’s third show of the “Peace Out” farewell. The injury caused bleeding, and he was given a doctor’s order not to sing for the 30 days, USA TODAY reported .

The fractured larynx was more serious than expected, and ongoing treatment was needed.

“I am heartbroken to not be out there with Aerosmith, my brothers and the incredible Black Crowes, rocking with the best fans in the world," Tyler said in a statement at the time. "I promise we will be back as soon as we can!”

Founded more than 50 years ago in Boston, Massachusetts, Aerosmith has sold more than 150 million albums worldwide, according to the band’s global brand management agency. The band is known for songs “Dream On,” Crazy,” “Cryin’” and “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing.”

Heart postpones ‘Royal Flush’ tour

Aerosmith’s tour cancelation comes one month after rock band Heart had to postpone their highly anticipated reunion tour , including a stop in Knoxville, also for medical reasons.

Ann Wilson announced in June that she had an operation to remove something cancerous and was advised to undergo preventative chemotherapy.

Heart had been scheduled to play Food City Center Aug. 24, and rescheduled dates are expected to be announced for 2025.

Things To Do

Music and concerts, music and concerts | foreigner’s ‘the historic farewell tour’ comes to virginia beach later this month.

Every week, they get close to 15 million audio and video streams.

And despite having formed nearly 50 years ago, they still consistently reach an audience exceeding 80 million radio listeners each month.

Foreigner is one of the most popular rock acts in the world and is coming to Virginia Beach — perhaps, for the last time.

The band will play at the Veterans United Home Loans Amphitheater in Virginia Beach on Aug. 20 as part of its “The Historic Farewell Tour.”

Rock-and-roller John Waite — whose 1984 single “Missing You” peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 — will open the show and will be followed by the rock band Styx, before Foreigner takes over the stage and closes the night.

“People should expect a lot of great tunes that they already know performed at high energy with a crowd singing on their feet; it’s always an exciting, sort of festive, atmosphere,” said Michael Bluestein, the band’s keyboardist.

In an interview, Bluestein, who joined Foreigner in 2008, described the band’s farewell tour as bittersweet.

He’ll miss the music, but after 16 years of averaging 80 to 100 concerts per year, Bluestein added, he and his bandmates are looking forward to some respite from constant touring.

“We’re not disappearing,” he added, saying the band still plans on playing together. “But it’s just going to be a lot less.”

Foreigner was formed in 1976 by three Americans and three Brits, and their 1977 self-titled album produced the band’s first hits with “Feels Like the First Time” and “Cold As Ice.”

Foreigner remained popular through the 1970s and 80s, releasing well-known songs such as “Hot Blooded,” “Blue Morning, Blue Day” and “I Want To Know What Love Is.”

For the Man Who Plays Lafayette, It’s a Marquis Event

America’s favorite fighting Frenchman arrived for a farewell tour in 1824. A yearlong commemoration kicks off this week, and the country’s pre-eminent “Lafayette” is ready.

On a recent sultry Monday, Mark Schneider pulled up to a stable in Williamsburg, Va., ready to get back to the grind, 18th-century style.

He was already wearing his leather breeches and ruffly linen shirt. After preparing his horse, he went back to the car for his waistcoat, swords, wig and plumed hat, before hoisting himself into the saddle and heading toward a grassy field near the town’s restored colonial-era courthouse.

Tucked in his jacket was a cellphone, for emergencies. He also carried a period-correct flask full of water, for discreet hydration.

“I wouldn’t want people to see the Marquis de Lafayette drinking from a flask and get the wrong idea,” he said.

For the past 25 years, Schneider has worked at Colonial Williamsburg portraying the French aristocrat who arrived in America at age 19 and became a hero of the American Revolution. But for “Marquis Mark,” as friends jokingly call him, this has been an especially historic summer.

He was just back from a battle re-enactment in the Czech Republic, part of his side hustle as an in-demand Napoleon. Now, his sights were on Lower Manhattan, where he will land on Friday to kick off a 13-month 200th-anniversary recreation of Lafayette’s triumphant 1824 farewell tour of the United States.

Crowds will likely fall far short of the estimated 80,000 New Yorkers who lined the streets to see Lafayette, the last surviving major general from the Revolution, who had helped secure the decisive victory at Yorktown. And instead of traveling by horse, Schneider will process along Broadway to ceremonial events at City Hall and elsewhere in a motorized faux-carriage, in deference to city laws restricting horses during the summer heat.

Still, it will be a bucket-list moment, especially for a guy born on Long Island.

“Even though I’m not really the marquis, I’m representing him and landing in this incredible city to much pomp and circumstance and fanfare,” Schneider said. “I’m thrilled.”

During the tour re-creation, four Lafayettes will share the role across hundreds of scheduled events in the 24 states visited by the marquis, who planned to stay five months but stayed for more than a year, traveling 6,000 miles and leaving behind scores of streets, squares, schools and towns named in his honor. But even at 5 foot 6 — about six inches short of the marquis himself — Schneider stands above the field.

“His knowledge is second to none, and he’s the best orator I’ve ever seen,” said Chuck Schwam, the executive director of the group American Friends of Lafayette, which is organizing the tour. “Also, he just looks damned good in the uniform.”

In an old-fashioned biography, Schneider’s rise to the top of the Lafayette world might be cast as destiny. He grew up in Setauket, on the north shore of Long Island, the son of a French mother and American father. The town had been a center of the Revolution-era Culpeper spy ring (the inspiration behind the AMC television drama “Turn” ). But Schneider, 54, was more of a French military history nerd, fond of running around the streets in baseball-pant “breeches,” waving a homemade tricolor flag.

“Kids my age loved Batman and Superman,” he said. “I loved Napoleon.”

Partway through college, he enlisted in the U.S. Army, serving as a cavalry scout in a unit that was deployed to Bosnia-Herzegovina. Today’s cavalry, as it happens, does not involve actual horses. He was introduced to riding later, through a girlfriend, while stationed in Germany. It turned out to be “life-changing.”

In 1997, two weeks after his discharge, Schneider (who speaks fluent French) joined the historic trades division at Colonial Williamsburg, working as a brickmaker, sawyer and carpenter while finishing his history degree. He also started riding in the site’s military programs and, two years later, became Lafayette.

“It’s easier to teach people to read lines than teaching them to ride a horse,” he said.

Schneider also joined a local Napoleonic cavalry re-enactment group. After acquiring a hat and coat, he started using his theatrical skills to portray the emperor in educational films, as well as at events commemorating the 200th anniversary of the 1803 Louisiana Purchase. But the first time someone with a French-ish accent called with an invitation to Europe, he hung up, thinking it was a friend playing a joke.

Since then, he has made more than 50 appearances as the emperor across Europe, where there is a long tradition of enormous battle re-enactments but the immersive “living history” portrayals pioneered at Williamsburg are new.

In 2006, for the 200th anniversary of Napoleon’s entry into Berlin, he rode a white stallion through the Brandenburg Gate and delivered an address to an ecstatic crowd (who were apparently unconcerned that the occasion marked a humiliating defeat). Schneider has been presented with the imperial eagles at a pageant in Empress Josephine’s château outside Paris, and will happily share frame-by-frame images of an “epic wreck” while galloping up a slick hillside at a faux Austerlitz.

“I went end over end in front of 20,000 people,” he said.

His film and television credits include about 10 wordless seconds of screen time in Jean-François Richet’s 2018 historical drama “The Emperor of Paris,” which earned him a ranking of No. 27 on Le Figaro’s list of the top 100 onscreen Napoleons — one spot ahead of Joaquin Phoenix in Ridley Scott’s much-maligned 2023 biopic.

But not everyone in France is impressed. In the 2018 documentary “Being Napoleon,” he fends off a trash-talking Parisian lawyer seeking to supplant him as Napoleon at the 200th anniversary re-enactment of Waterloo. Schneider said he found the rivalry “ridiculous.”

“The point is to educate and teach people,” he said. “If you’re going to nitpick on my costume or my ‘Anglo-Saxon’ accent, that’s OK. I know I’m not these characters. I’m just Mark.”

Thomas Jefferson, in a 1787 letter to John Adams, described Lafayette as having “a canine appetite for popularity and fame.” For all his exuberant bonhomie as the marquis, Schneider comes off as low-key and self-deprecating — the kind of guy who is less likely to cite Voltaire than “Anchorman” or “Tropic Thunder” (which he brought up to make a point about Method acting).

Like most fellow interpreters at Williamsburg, Schneider won’t break character to answer visitors’ questions about himself. “We want people to feel like they are going back in time and meeting the individual,” he said.

But everyday life is another story. He recalled the time a woman approached him at the gym while he was doing sit-ups.

“She bent down and asked, ‘Are you the Marquis de Lafayette?’” he said. “It was 6:30 in the morning. I said, ‘Not at the moment.’”

Living history museums, which aim to immerse visitors in a recreated past, are sometimes accused of peddling nostalgic history longer on bonnets, bayonets and butter churning than scholarship. But at Colonial Williamsburg, the portrayals are as meticulously tended as the buildings and clothing (which are almost entirely made on site using 18th-century techniques).

Schneider’s dressing room is crammed with costumes and memorabilia, including multiple Lafayette bobbleheads. But you’ll also find several hundred books, including shelves of biographies (his other roles include the generals Rochambeau and Banastre Tarleton), along with volumes on the French Revolution, the ancien régime, the fighting in Haiti and, of course, horses.

Schneider has saved two decades of handwritten notes about his characters, which he draws on to script his repertoire of about 10 programs. He also keeps lists of potential visitor questions, from the philosophical to the mundane.

“You cannot second guess yourself,” he said. “If someone asks my wife’s name, I can’t be like, ‘Um … Adrienne ?’”

In recent years, Colonial Williamsburg’s cast of “nation builders,” as its core historical characters are known, has expanded beyond traditional “founding fathers” to include African Americans, Native Americans and women.

But even before the musical “Hamilton” turned Lafayette into a motor-mouthed rapper, the marquis — an outspoken critic of slavery and advocate for Native Americans , who wrote the first draft of France’s Declaration of the Rights of Man — felt a bit, well, cooler than Washington or Jefferson.

“He was just an incredible individual,” Schneider said. “He was very 21st-century in an 18th-century world.”

Lafayette’s 1824 tour began on the eve of a contentious presidential election, one of only two (so far) decided in the House of Representatives. And organizers of this year’s commemoration, mindful of America’s impending Semiquincentennial in 2026, are promoting it as an inspiring tale of a polarized nation uniting around the rekindled principles of the founding.

Contemporary politics have sometimes complicated the business of being Lafayette. Schneider recalled some tense visitor interactions during the Iraq War, when some Americans were dumping French wine and eating “freedom fries.” But these days, a more common challenge is politely parrying (dubious) claims that a visitor’s ancestor saved the injured Lafayette’s life at the battle of Brandywine.

“You don’t want to make people feel bad,” Schneider said. “You just say, ‘Oh wow – thank you!’”

Ultimately, the point of the job isn’t fame, fortune or frippery, but helping visitors connect with the past.

“It’s about making a difference, not about me getting all these pictures taken and being called the greatest Lafayette, or the greatest Napoleon,” he said. “The greatest ones are lying in their graves. I hope I’m doing them justice.”
