The Doobie Brothers will launch a North American tour this summer, which follows the release of their upcoming reunion album with Michael McDonald, titled Walk This Road, set for release on June 6. Walk This Road will be the first new release from The Doobies since 2021’s Liberté, and their first full album of original material with McDonald since 1980’s One Step Closer.
Patrick Simmons said in an official statement: “We’re so looking forward to the 2025 summer tour! We’ll be celebrating the release of our new album, Walk This Road, and we’re excited to be performing new songs from the record. We’ll warm up with shows in the U.K. and Ireland then hit the road back in the good old U.S.A. Can’t wait to see you all and bring some new music to our fans. Having the Coral Reefer Band on board with us at these shows really makes this a special experience for the audience and all of us.” The reunited Doobie Brothers also feature Tom Johnston and John McFee; special guests on all stops are the Coral Reefer Band, the late Jimmy Buffett’s backing band.
The tour kicks off Aug. 4 in Detroit, with dates currently confirmed in include Boston, Chicago, New York and through Sept. 18 in Toronto. More shows are expected to be announced.
