George Clinton, one of the godfathers of funk music, is all set to bring his Parliament-Funkadelic ensemble back on the road due to popular demand.
After nearly five decades in the game, George Clinton announced his retirement from touring in 2018. But the following year, he brought P-Funk (as Parliament-Funkadelic is collectively referred to) on the road for a farewell tour of sorts, naming it the One Nation Under A Groove Tour.
Two years of pandemic inactivity seems to have made the icon want to give the road another go.

The current leg of the tour will begin at the Central Park’s Summerstage in New York City on June 15 and will conclude in Napa, California, on August 21, with 17 shows in all.
Dopapod, Pimps of Joytime, The Motet, The Floozies, Soul Rebels, Fantastic Negrito, Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe, Fishbone and more genre-spanning acts will feature in varied permutations and combinations on the rotating roster of the ensemble's opening acts.
The presale will start on Wednesday, March 23 on the band's official website, with tickets available to the general public starting Friday, March 25 at 12 noon (local time), both via Ticketmaster.

Parliament released Medicaid Fraud Dogg (2018), their first full-length album in about 40 years. It was announced last year that Wiz Khalifa would play George Clinton in Spinning Gold, an upcoming biopic about Neil Bogart, who founded the iconic Casablanca Records.
George Clinton's step back into the limelight to give his fans some new grooves will hopefully be an extended one.
