When Daryl Hall And John Oates Concert Tour?
The pop duo is composed of Daryl Hall and John Oates who are popular for their songs like “Maneater,” “Rich Girl,” and “Private Eyes” who have suggested that they may go on tour soon. As of now, the duo has not formally declared that they will be going on a tour but suggestions are derived from recent interviews that the two have given.
The two musicians who were well-known in the 1970s and controlled the mainstream pop charts throughout the 1980s have been somewhat busy in touring in more recent years. The COVID-19 epidemic caused their farewell tour to be postponed from an earlier date, thereby ending in October 2021. When the tour concluded across North America, Hall and Oates put on more than ninety shows overall.
John Oates said during the visit on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in December 2021 that they intended to shortly be returning on tour. "We are going to tour once more in 2022," Oates told Fallon. "Daryl and I are rather fond of playing live; it gives you the vitality and enthusiasm of youth; we can't wait to see our fans out there again.”
Hall repeated the same message in an interview on a radio station in January 2022 suggesting that a tour could be in the pipeline. “John and I have been itching to get back on stage,” Hall said. “Right now we are in the process of planning for a new show during the spring and summer period. More ‘ We should just wait and see!”
Considering these recent remarks, it appears almost certain that Hall and Oates will embark on a large-scale tour sometime in the second half of this year. Gurus say that they will stage performances at both arenas and amphitheaters across North America, as they did on their previous tour. Concerts by Hall and Oates will likely feature in New York, Chicago, Toronto, or Los Angeles among other cities.
On the timing front, fans can likely look forward to a tour announcement in January or February 2022 for a tour happening in the summer of that same year. Spring and summer are the best touring times for heritage acts such as Hall and Oates, who remain popular among the baby boomers who grew up with them and millennials who might be interested in their music. The weather is good and children are on vacation hence schools and families can attend shows easily.
One thing is for sure, the next concert to be held by Hall and Oates will be selling hotcakes. For instance, their 2021 tour saw them almost sold out the show because people were eagerly waiting for concerts due to the lockdown. The music industry anticipates that 2022 will be a bigger year for concerts and festivals, which will increase the need for Hall and Oates tickets.
Some of the songs performed on stage during the last tour include ‘You Make My Dreams,’ ‘Kiss on My List,’ ‘I Can’t Go For That (No Can Do),’ and ‘Out of Touch. ’ Of course, they will go on playing those popular tracks which the audience would be looking forward to the next time they perform. But loyal listeners want Hall and Oates to delve into the archives and bring out tracks that do not often get played in concert.
They could also pull out some new songs that haven’t been performed live before to enjoy the audience. The last studio album they released was in 2017, an album called Laughing Down Crying which was released exclusively on vinyl, but both Hall and Oates have been active in releasing music on their own in recent years. It would thrill fans if the artists were to try out new songs, which have never been released to the public, during the tour.
Other than the traditional arena performances, there are some rumors that Hall and Oates may perform at several selected venues to twist fans. The two artists went on a nine-show residency at The Troubadour in West Hollywood back in 2016 and did not perform the same setlist twice. They could plan something similar for the year 2022 in a smaller way.
Apart from American dates, it remains anticipated that Hall and Oates will tour Europe and the rest of the world to perform at festivals and concerts. There might also be travel to Australia, Japan, and South East Asia. Recently, various K-pop artists such as NCT 127 released their versions of Hall & Oates songs so they could benefit from the impact the duo has in these markets by performing their songs live.
Of course, as with all tours especially in the period of COVID-19, there are probably some measures that would be taken to safeguard the band, crew, and fans. However, the viewers will likely witness fewer limitations connected with the pandemic in 2022 due to the spread of vaccines. If everything goes as planned, Daryl Hall and John Oates should be in a position to tour as they have been hinting all along.
