Hootie & the Blowfish announced their first tour in five years, set to kick off next summer. The band will play across various venues in the country, with a notable stop at Boston's Fenway Park on June 21st. Joining them will be 90s bands Collective Soul, Edwin McCain, and Barenaked Ladies, as confirmed by a CBS News report.

The "Summer Camp with Trucks" tour, a dream come true to for many, begins in Dallas on May 30th and concludes in September, covering a total of 43 cities. Notably, the tour marks the first for Hootie & the Blowfish since 2019, a band boasting over 25 million albums sales according to Boston 25 News.

Reflecting on the band's journey, member Mark Bryan stated, "Our lives changed practically overnight when Cracked Rear View did its success. Despite the leap from vans and college bars to tour buses and arenas, we remained steadfast in our approach to music and its sharing with fans." Bryan added that they aspire to recreate the 'summer camp with trucks' experience for next year's tour.

Citi cardmembers were able to access presale tickets from November 7th, while general ticket sales started on November 10th at 10 a.m. on Hootie.com. Boston locals, in particular, are expected, flock to get tickets for this event, mirroring the enthusiasm seen nationwide.

Furthermore, music fans in Boston have even more to look forward to as the Fenway Park summer schedule lines up more live performances from artists such as Noah Kahan, Kane Brown, Foo Fighters, and Green Day, as per the same CBS News article.

With a summer filled with throwback concerts, fans are encouraged, dust off their old CDs and brush up on their favorite tunes for a nostalgic musical experience across the United States.
