Tour, UK and Europe

MC5 leader Wayne Kramer is back touring again!

Wayne Kramer leader of Detroit’s Proto Punk / Hard Rock band MC5, announces fifteen concerts and four summer festivals for the 'Kick out the Jams: The 50th Anniversary Tour'. 'Kick Out the Jams' is recognized as the galvanizing live document that introduced a major voice of late 60's counter culture, and proved incomparably influential on Metal, Punk, Stoner Rock.

And almost every other form of loud, limitless, long-haired music to come after, MC5 are one of the most influential Rock bands to ever be formed.. The recording took place just months after the band’s appearance at Chicago’s riotous 1968 Democratic National Convention - a pivotal moment in modern American politics.

The All-Star group features - MC5 Founder Wayne Kramer and joined with Kim Thayil (Soundgarden), Brendan Canty (Fugazi), Dug Pinnick (King’s X), Marcus Durant (Zen Gorilla), Don Was (Was not Was) and Matt Cameron (Pearl Jam).

MC50 opens the tour with four festival shows in July / July across Europe, followed by four shows around the UK on four consecutive nights in November, then another stint across Europe.
