After decades of music, laughter, and timeless memories, The Monkees have officially announced their final tour — fittingly titled the “Let’s Go Monkees Around Tour.” The beloved pop-rock pioneers are hitting the road one last time, celebrating a legacy that has delighted fans for over half a century.
The announcement dropped early this morning through the band’s official channels, confirming that this will be the group’s farewell journey, a heartfelt goodbye to generations of fans who grew up with their iconic tunes like I’m a Believer, Daydream Believer, and Last Train to Clarksville.
The tour promises to be more than just a nostalgic trip — it’s a full-blown celebration of The Monkees’ musical evolution, spanning from their 1960s TV charm to their later years as respected musicians and songwriters. Micky Dolenz, the last surviving original member, expressed both excitement and sentimentality:
“We’ve shared a lifetime of joy with our fans. This tour is our way of saying thank you — for believing in us all these years.”
Fans can expect a setlist packed with greatest hits, deep cuts, and emotional tributes to Davy Jones, Peter Tork, and Michael Nesmith — honoring the enduring brotherhood that defined The Monkees’ journey.
The “Let’s Go Monkees Around Tour” kicks off in Los Angeles, California, before traveling across North America, with stops in Chicago, Nashville, Toronto, Boston, and New York City, among others. Each show promises stunning visuals, archival footage, and heartfelt storytelling celebrating the band’s incredible history.
Tickets go on sale November 8, 2025, with presales opening two days earlier for fan club members. Fans are urged to act fast — given the significance of this being The Monkees’ final curtain call, demand is expected to be massive.

From their TV debut in 1966 to countless reunions, The Monkees have proven that their charm and catchy melodies are truly timeless. The “Let’s Go Monkees Around Tour” serves as both a farewell and a reminder that their songs — and the joy they brought — will never fade.
As Dolenz summed it up beautifully:
“We might be saying goodbye to the stage, but the music will keep on believing.”
