Certain special concerts forever seem like they occurred just yesterday because you think about them so often. My Morning Jacket are definitely one of those bands, so you know how excited we are about their just-announced 2021 tour, including shows on September 10-11th in Queens, New York. The Louisville, Kentucky rockers are bringing their mesmeric live presence back to the acoustically-utopian Forest Hills Stadium where they stunned in 2017 and 2019. Embarking on their first U.S. headline tour in five years, the revered band – Jim James (vocals, guitar), Tom Blankenship (bass), Patrick Hallahan (drums), Carl Broemel (guitar), and Bo Koster (keyboards) – will present “a wide-ranging live set encompassing new music alongside fan favorites and classic greatest hits.” We can’t wait to finally experience some live cuts from their latest full-length release, The Waterfall II, that awesome stick-in-your-head sequel they put out last summer. We’re also in for a treat with Brittany Howard – the talented lead vocalist/guitarist of Alabama Shakes – opening on those NY dates and others. Check out the schedule and presale info below.
