Classic rock band Mr. Big will embark on a farewell tour of the United States in January and February 2024. The tour will kick off on January 12 in Houston, Texas, and will make stops in cities across the country, including Atlanta, New York, and Nashville. The tour will wrap up on February 24 in Oklahoma City, OK before departing to Europe.
The band’s current lineup features founding members Eric Martin (lead vocals), Paul Gilbert (guitar and vocals), Billy Sheehan (bass and vocals), and Nick D’Virgilio (drums and vocals).
Mr. Big formed in 1988 and released their self-titled debut album in 1989. The album spawned the hit singles ‘To Be with You’ and ‘Addicted to That Rush.’ The band went on to release six more studio albums, and they have sold over 15 million albums worldwide.
In a statement, Martin said, “We’re so excited to announce our farewell tour of the United States. We’ve had an amazing run, and we want to thank all of our fans for their support over the years. This is going to be a special tour, and we can’t wait to see everyone there.”
Sheehan added: “We wanted to do a proper farewell, and this seems like the right way to do it,” and Gilbert said: “We’re in the process of making sure we come up with a suitably big entertainment extravaganza to go along with our music. And since our music has resonated so wonderfully in places all over the world, we’re going to play in as many of those places as we can.” Martin stated: “If we were in the movie business, we’d just put it all up in lights and say, ‘Welcome to ‘The BIG Finish’!’ Seriously, I’m glad we’re getting a chance to do it all onstage together as MR. BIG again and raise a flag to everything we’ve done as a band over the years.”
