Rolling Stone • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Johnny Blue Skies (Sturgill Simpson) and his band the Dark Clouds will embark on a 29-date "Mutiny for the Masses Tour" from September 4 to October 30, supporting their latest album, Mutiny After Midnight.
- Tickets go on sale April 10, with presales starting April 8, and the tour will use Ticketmaster’s Face Value Exchange and AXS Resale to prevent scalping by allowing ticket resales only at original prices.
- This tour follows Simpson’s acclaimed 2024 Passage du Desir tour and will feature extended sets with no opening acts, highlighting the band's reputation for marathon live performances.
- Mutiny After Midnight, released March 13, is currently available only on physical formats and as a digital download, with streaming planned for the future; this strategy supports independent record stores and physical music sales.
- To coincide with Record Store Day on April 18, JBS and the Dark Clouds will release a special seven-inch single featuring covers of Procol Harum’s “A Whiter Shade of Pale” and William Bell’s “You Don’t Miss Your Water.”
