Ahead of November’s Presidential election, Tenacious D have announced a Swing State tour dubbed “The Purple Nurple Tour – Twisting Hard To The Left!” The band, comprised of Jack Black and Kyle Gass, are partnering with 46 for 46 to “promote voter registration and overall civic action through music (press release).”

The tour will make stops mostly in “swing states;” it kicks off on Sept. 25 in Davenport, Iowa, followed by shows in Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, North Carolina, Florida, Virginia and Pennsylvania. The tour will also make two special stops: one on Oct. 4 at the Merriweather Post Pavilion outside of Washington, D.C., and the other at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall on Oct. 9. The NYC date will close the tour.

In a press release, Tenacious D said: “Donald Trump has proven to be the most divisive, corrupt and dangerous President in the modern history of this country, and we simply cannot stand for another four years of his administration! Now is the time to elect a REAL leader!”

They continued: “In 2016, six states were decided by 2 percentage points or less, and ten states were decided by 4 percentage points or less. Swing states played a pivotal role in the outcome of that election, and they will again in 2020. Knowing that, we looked at each other and agreed: just like the tale of Post-Apocalypto, it is time for Tenacious D to RIDE and help save the world from Trumpian destruction. With great rock comes great responsibility.”

Tickets to these shows go on sale Mar. 6 at 10 a.m. local venue time. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit tenaciousd.com. Check out a full list of tour dates below!
