George Clinton and Parliament-Funkadelic Tease Final Tour, Drop Summer 2023 Dates

George Clinton and his Parliament-Funkadelic brethren have released an extensive list of tour dates that will take the crew from coast-to-coast this summer. The run has been dubbed Just For The Funk Of It! Final Tour?!? and arrives after Clinton’s most recent so-called farewell jaunt last summer.

The funk icons run will commence on July 27 in Reno, Nev., before following up the next evening with a show in Napa, Calif., where the ensemble is expected to participate in the Blue Note Jazz Festival. Next, they will pick up a pair of Pacific Northwest dates slated for Portland, Ore., and Seattle before moving on to the middle of the country. 

In continuation of the impending summer tour, the bandleader and his team of collaborators will take stands in Oklahoma and Texas in addition to an August 8 performance in Atlanta. Ensuing gigs in North Carolina will set up the group’s arrival in Boston on August 17.

Next, the crew is scheduled to play a show in Port Chester, N.Y. Then, they’ll return to the road on August 19, trekking over to Montclair, N.J., up until the time arrives for their show in Mashantucket, Conn., a few short days later, on August 20.

The so-called, Just For The Funk Of It! Final Tour?!? will take the musicians through Pittsburgh and Cleveland and continues with stops in Indianapolis before the last August date, which will occur in Louisville, Ky. A lone Nov. 25 concert is set to take place in Oakland, Calif., and serves as the band’s last date of this tour. 

On the road, Clinton and Parliament-Funkadelic will welcome special guests Fishbone, Dumpstaphunk and George Porter Jr., who will join the headliners in select cities.

Despite the tour’s name, it has not been confirmed that this will be the final run of dates for Clinton and the ensemble. The bandleader has a history of taking breaks from the road and embarking on periods of retirement.

George Clinton & Parliament-Funkadelic Announce 2022 U.S. Tour

By Allison Hussey

George Clinton & Parliament -Funkadelic have announced a stretch of late spring and summer tour dates in the United States. Dopapod, Pimps of Joytime, the Floozies, and the Motet are among those joining the band at different stops on the tour, which begins in mid-June and extends through August. See the full schedule below.

Clinton had previously announced that he was retiring from touring, claiming in 2018 that he’d go on a final trek the following year. More recently, Clinton and the band earned the honor of having a street named for them in Plainfield, New Jersey , where Clinton established the doo-wop group that eventually became Parliament-Funkadelic.

Wiz Khalifa is set to appear as Clinton in Spinning Gold , a forthcoming biopic about Casablanca Records head Neil Bogart. The label issued several of Parliament-Funkadelic’s records in the 1970s, including 1974’s Up for the Down Stroke and 1975’s Mothership Connection .

George Clinton Announces Parliament-Funkadelic 2022 US Tour Dates

The "One Nation Under a Groove Tour" resumes this spring and summer

Back by popular demand, George Clinton is bringing his iconic Parliament – Funkadelic ensemble on the road. The “One Nation Under a Groove Tour” will continue in Spring and Summer 2022, taking the longtime funk legend across the US.

With over 50 years in the game, Clinton announced his retirement from touring in 2018. He brought P-Funk on the first iteration of the “One Nation Under a Groove Tour” the following year with the intent of it being a farewell tour of sorts; apparently, two years in a pandemic provided him with enough time to rest up and get back out there again.

This portion of the “One Nation Under a Groove Tour” will begin in New York City on June 15th at Central Park’s Summerstage. After 17 shows, it will then finish in Napa, California on August 21st. The rotating cast of openers includes Dopapod, Pimps of Joytime, The Motet, The Floozies, Soul Rebels, Fantastic Negrito, Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe, Fishbone, and more.

Presale begins this Wednesday, March 23rd, with tickets available to the general public starting Friday, March 25th at 12:00 p.m. local time. Grab tickets over at Ticketmaster , and see the schedule below.

Back in 2018, Parliament released  Medicaid Fraud Dogg ,  their first full-length album in nearly 40 years. Last year, it was announced that Wiz Khalifa would play Clinton in Spinning Gold , an upcoming biopic about Casablanca Records founder Neil Bogart.

George Clinton and Parliament-Funkadelic 2022 Tour Dates: 06/15 – New York, NY @ Summerstage Central Park * 06/18 – New Haven, CT @ College Street Music Hall * 06/19 – Worcester, MA @ The Palladium * 06/24 – Fort Wayne, IN @ Piere’s ^ 06/25 – Indianapolis, IN @ Clowes Memorial Hall 06/26 – Cincinnati, OH @ Riverfront Live # 06/30 – Asheville, NC @ Salvage Station $ 07/02 – Pelham, TN @ The Caverns $ 07/07 – Philadelphia, PA @ Fillmore ! 07/22 – Ft.

George clinton & parliament funkadelic announce 2022 tour dates.

Posted by Buddy Iahn | Mar 21, 2022

One Nation Under a Groove Tour runs this summer

George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic is back with the One Nation Under a Groove Tour, with iconic frontman George Clinton still at the helm, and this time, he’s bringing his friends. New luminaries of the funk and jam world will support the tour, including The Motet, Dopapod, The Pimps of Joytime, as well as special guests on select shows Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe, The Floozies, and others to be announced. Presale begins Wednesday, March 23rd with general on sale Friday, March 25th at noon ET via onenationunderagroovetour.com .

After announcing his retirement in 2018, the One Nation Under a Groove Tour in 2019 was thought to be Clinton’s farewell tour. Fans and admirers packed sold out amphitheaters across the country, proving the world is not ready for the P Funk Party to stop. Back by popular demand, the One Nation Under a Groove Tour will make stops across the country including New York’s iconic Summerstage in Central Park, and the new YouTube Theater in Inglewood, CA with more shows to be announced.

With a career spanning 50 years of pioneering music, breaking down cultural barriers, and blurring the lines between genres to the delight of his ever-growing fanbase, George Clinton continues his unstoppable march forward into the future of music. As so many generations of fans have come to realize, the Godfather of Funk is so much more than the artist who ‘blew the roof off the sucka’ with his blockbuster “Mothership tour” in the 1970’s – an event that still looms large in the minds of fans from that era. He is so much more than the man who discovered Bootsy Collins, produced a young bunch of dudes called The Red Hot Chilli Peppers before they were a thing, even more than just the man who’s music gave birth to so much of hip hop culture by way of his influence on Ice Cube, Snoop, Dr. Dre, and countless others who sampled his music over the years. Taken alone, any one of these would be a monumental accomplishment for most artists. But George was never satisfied with what happened yesterday, and 2015 saw George Clinton win a Grammy (finally) with Kendrick Lamar for the album “To Pimp a Butterfly.

George Clinton & P-Funk Plot (Another) ‘Final Tour’ Ft. Fishbone, Dumpstaphunk, More

George Clinton & Parliament-Funkadelic have announced a 21-date 2023 tour featuring support from a number of their funkiest colleagues, Fishbone ,  Dumpstaphunk , and  George Porter Jr. of The Meters fame.

Clinton and his ever-evolving P-Funk circus have been saying “farewell” for years. When the aging bandleader first detailed his multi-band One Nation Under A Groove tour in 2019, he billed the nationwide run as his “final” outing. Four years later, he’s still at it—and yes, he’s aware of that loose interpretation of finality: This year, the summer trek is being billed with a self-aware lack of certainty as Just For The Funk of It! Final Tour?!?

The George Clinton & Parliament-Funkadelic 2023 Just For The Funk of It! Final Tour?!?  will kick off in Reno, NV on July 27th and snake its way across the country throughout the end of July and most of August before wrapping up in Louisville, KY on August 26th. A few months later, P-Funk will regroup for a November 25th performance in Oakland, CA. Specific venues and ticketing information for the tour have yet to be announced.

The funk will never die.

However, George Clinton and Parliament Funkadelic may be hanging it up for good soon.

Starting July 27, the legendary group will launch their 29-concert ‘Just For The Funk Of It! Final Tour?!?’ that just might be their last.

Yes, we’re not sure if this is it for the 82-year-old and his intergalactic band or not.

And if you’re in New York and New Jersey you thankfully still have a few more chances to see the band live.

Clinton and co. will bring “Flashlight,” “Atomic Dog,” “Give Up The Funk,” “One Nation Under A Groove” and more to Port Chester, NY’s Capitol Theatre on Aug. 18, Montclair, NJ’s Wellmont Theater on Aug. 19 and Westbury, NY’s NYCB Theatre on Oct. 28.

But that’s not all — the band has tickets available for all 29 of their “maybe” final shows this summer, fall and winter.

Some Parliament concerts have rather inexpensive seats ready for purchase too.

At the time of publication, we found some Parliament tickets going for as low as $18 before fees on Vivid Seats.

Now, that’s truly Funkadelic.

To be fair, that is a bit of an outlier. Most shows’ ticket prices start in the $30 to $110 range .

George Clinton Details Final Tour With Parliament-Funkadelic

• By Kory Grow

After five decades of life on tour buses and Motherships, George Clinton is ready to retire from the road. The U.S. dates of his long goodbye, which he’s dubbed the One Nation Under a Groove Tour, will kick off this spring and run through August.

“It’s coming right on time,” Clinton tells Rolling Stone , saying the announcement is part of a plan he conceived a few years ago. It’s the next step after releasing his 2014 memoir, Brothas Be, Yo Like George, Ain’t That Funkin’ Kinda Hard On You? as well as Funkadelic ‘s 2014 album, First Ya Gotta Shake the Gate and Parliament ‘s 2018 album, Medicaid Fraud Dogg .

“I would love to keep on doing this but I’ll be 78 in a few more months,” he says. “Even though I feel like I’m just getting started, the reality is the group needs to go ahead and keep it going. We’ve got a new vibe in the band, and they’ve been carrying it for the last three years. I’ve been up there representing for people, but they’ve actually been turning the place out. And we’ve been selling out for the last five years, every night.”

The tour, which officially kicks off after Memorial Day weekend (though Clinton is playing some farewell tour dates beforehand), will variously feature openers Galactic, Dumpstaphunk, Fishbone and Miss Velvet and the Blue Wolf. Tickets for most shows go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. local time. Pre-sales will start on February 7th; more information is available at Clinton’s website .

The Parliament-Funkadelic band features several musicians who have been in the lineup for the last decade, as well as a handful — trumpeter Bennie Cowan, saxophonist Greg Thomas, bassist Lige Curry and guitarist Blackbird McKnight — who have been with the group for 30 years or longer. It also features many of Clinton’s descendants.

The tour’s title recalls both the 1978 album, One Nation Under a Groove , and blockbuster single of the same name. Clinton says the song’s message of unity is just as important today as it was when he wrote it. “Funk to me was just that groove that united everything,” he says. “So you could be funky no matter what kind of music you played. There’s a funk element somewhere that can be put into it. And the idea of one nation with everybody together [applies to] not only one nation, but one planet.”

Editor’s picks

The 250 greatest guitarists of all time, the 500 greatest albums of all time, the 50 worst decisions in movie history, every awful thing trump has promised to do in a second term.

The tour, created by Universal Attractions Agency, coincides with Clinton receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Grammys at a special ceremony on May 11th. It’s an honor that means a lot to him, since it’s a chance for him to recognize the dozens of P-Funk musicians who’ve played with him over the years. “It’s never been about me or no particular thing,” Clinton says. “The whole truth has always been what it’s about. As I’m getting ready to get a lifetime achievement award and all of that, there’s so many people that’s been in the band, it’s hard to even pick who all the people are. So people won’t get to see a lot of people, but still that award will belong to everybody that’s participated in making the P-Funk what it is. It will be for all the people that’s ever been through the P-Funk army.”

Recent tour reviews

High energy but not the music you want. I don't know if age has taken the vocal abilities, but as an ardent fan of p funk in its many forms, this show was a huge disappointment. George Clinton was little more than a hype man, telling you to put your hands up every few seconds that is if he wasn't sitting down watching everyone else perform. Which he did often. I get it, he is of an advanced age and with medical issues, but bb king day the entire time and our on a hell of a show at 80, Willie Nelson a few weeks ago does not have the vocal chops he once did but he played through his home catalog. This show was 4 songs I knew. Then a bunch of new acts doing their material. I know they call them parliament but they are not the names you know. They don't play the songs you know. Even when they do George Clinton isn't singing them. Credit to the band they play hard, and work hard but it's not what you expect.

Report as inappropriate

It was a blast. I always love to see Funkadelic when they come around. They put on a great show everytime! Goerge Clinton is an amazing character, he is still very good at entertaining people. I love the mothership! "Mother Earth is pregnant for the 3rd time" ! & He did Maggot Brain which is an amazing song. I really loved his openers, Gorangatang...a hip hop full band wth didgeridoo...was a very interesting act!

As usual it was a great show. it seemed to me that everybody on stage was in a great mood, lots of smiling and joking, and energy. the newer younger members of the band really added to he energy of the show. the three female back up singers owned their own stars in the show. blackbird ripped it up, and george, it's so hard to believe that he is 76 years old. his love for funk is not about age, it about the feeling, the mood and he was all in it. they really know how to bond with a crowd. no fights, no arrests, just a funkin party.

Funkadelic was the debut album by the American funk band Funkadelic, released in 1970 on Westbound Records. The album showcased a strong bass and rhythm section, as well as lengthy jam sessions, future trademarks of the band. The album contains two remakes of songs from The Parliaments, an earlier band featuring George Clinton: “I Bet You” and “Good Old Music”.

“Mommy, What’s a Funkadelic?” and “What is Soul” contained the beginnings of Funkadelic’s mythology, namely that “Funkadelic” and “the Funk” are alien in origin but not dangerous.

“I Got a Thing, You Got a Thing, Everybody’s Got a Thing” was particularly notable for a guitar solo by Rare Earth’s Ray Monette. “I Bet You” was later covered by the Jackson 5 on their album ABC, and sampled by the Beastie Boys for their song “Car Thief”. In more recent years The Red Hot Chili Peppers have combined the main riff of “Mommy, What’s a Funkadelic?” and certain parts of the lyrics from “What Is Soul?” in live shows, a version appears as a B-Side on their 2002 single “By the Way”.

“It's an honor to receive a star alongside the many notables from the world of entertainment,” said Clinton at the Jan. 19 ceremony on Hollywood Boulevard. “The old fans and new fans who let the music move their souls, you all know who I’m talking about. I’ve always said it’s the people who make the funk.”

Clinton, who's lived in Tallahassee for the last 30 years, led the chamber in a “We want the funk” chant afterward.

Clinton founded the Parliaments as a teenager in the '50s. The P-Funk legacy was developed in a barbershop Clinton owned in Plainfield through the '60s.

In 2022, five blocks of Plainfield Avenue in Plainfield were renamed “Parliament Funkadelic Way” by the city. The area is where Clinton's barbershop, the Silk Palace, stood. The Second Street Youth Center now stands at 2nd Street and Plainfield Avenue.

“(I Wanna) Testify” was the breakthrough hit for the Parliaments in 1967. After becoming Parliament Funkadelic, they eventually landed in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

First refuelling for Russia’s Akademik Lomonosov floating NPP

!{Model.Description}

The FNPP includes two KLT-40S reactor units. In such reactors, nuclear fuel is not replaced in the same way as in standard NPPs – partial replacement of fuel once every 12-18 months. Instead, once every few years the entire reactor core is replaced with and a full load of fresh fuel.

The KLT-40S reactor cores have a number of advantages compared with standard NPPs. For the first time, a cassette core was used, which made it possible to increase the fuel cycle to 3-3.5 years before refuelling, and also reduce by one and a half times the fuel component in the cost of the electricity produced. The operating experience of the FNPP provided the basis for the design of the new series of nuclear icebreaker reactors (series 22220). Currently, three such icebreakers have been launched.

The Akademik Lomonosov was connected to the power grid in December 2019, and put into commercial operation in May 2020.

Electricity generation from the FNPP at the end of 2023 amounted to 194 GWh. The population of Pevek is just over 4,000 people. However, the plant can potentially provide electricity to a city with a population of up to 100,000. The FNPP solved two problems. Firstly, it replaced the retiring capacities of the Bilibino Nuclear Power Plant, which has been operating since 1974, as well as the Chaunskaya Thermal Power Plant, which is more than 70 years old. It also supplies power to the main mining enterprises located in western Chukotka. In September, a 490 km 110 kilovolt power transmission line was put into operation connecting Pevek and Bilibino.

Touring the Top 10 Moscow Metro Stations

By Claudia Looi 2 Comments

Komsomolskaya metro station looks like a museum. It has vaulted ceilings and baroque decor.

Hidden underground, in the heart of Moscow, are historical and architectural treasures of Russia. These are Soviet-era creations – the metro stations of Moscow.

Our guide Maria introduced these elaborate metro stations as “the palaces for the people.” Built between 1937 and 1955, each station holds its own history and stories. Stalin had the idea of building beautiful underground spaces that the masses could enjoy. They would look like museums, art centers, concert halls, palaces and churches. Each would have a different theme. None would be alike.

The two-hour private tour was with a former Intourist tour guide named Maria. Maria lived in Moscow all her life and through the communist era of 60s to 90s. She has been a tour guide for more than 30 years. Being in her 60s, she moved rather quickly for her age. We traveled and crammed with Maria and other Muscovites on the metro to visit 10 different metro stations.

Arrow showing the direction of metro line 1 and 2

Moscow subways are very clean

To Maria, every street, metro and building told a story. I couldn’t keep up with her stories. I don’t remember most of what she said because I was just thrilled being in Moscow.   Added to that, she spilled out so many Russian words and names, which to one who can’t read Cyrillic, sounded so foreign and could be easily forgotten.

The metro tour was the first part of our all day tour of Moscow with Maria. Here are the stations we visited:

1. Komsomolskaya Metro Station  is the most beautiful of them all. Painted yellow and decorated with chandeliers, gold leaves and semi precious stones, the station looks like a stately museum. And possibly decorated like a palace. I saw Komsomolskaya first, before the rest of the stations upon arrival in Moscow by train from St. Petersburg.

2. Revolution Square Metro Station (Ploshchad Revolyutsii) has marble arches and 72 bronze sculptures designed by Alexey Dushkin. The marble arches are flanked by the bronze sculptures. If you look closely you will see passersby touching the bronze dog's nose. Legend has it that good luck comes to those who touch the dog's nose.

3. Arbatskaya Metro Station served as a shelter during the Soviet-era. It is one of the largest and the deepest metro stations in Moscow.

4. Biblioteka Imeni Lenina Metro Station was built in 1935 and named after the Russian State Library. It is located near the library and has a big mosaic portrait of Lenin and yellow ceramic tiles on the track walls.

5. Kievskaya Metro Station was one of the first to be completed in Moscow. Named after the capital city of Ukraine by Kiev-born, Nikita Khruschev, Stalin's successor.

6. Novoslobodskaya Metro Station  was built in 1952. It has 32 stained glass murals with brass borders.

7. Kurskaya Metro Station was one of the first few to be built in Moscow in 1938. It has ceiling panels and artwork showing Soviet leadership, Soviet lifestyle and political power. It has a dome with patriotic slogans decorated with red stars representing the Soviet's World War II Hall of Fame. Kurskaya Metro Station is a must-visit station in Moscow.

8. Mayakovskaya Metro Station built in 1938. It was named after Russian poet Vladmir Mayakovsky. This is one of the most beautiful metro stations in the world with 34 mosaics painted by Alexander Deyneka.

9. Belorusskaya Metro Station is named after the people of Belarus. In the picture below, there are statues of 3 members of the Partisan Resistance in Belarus during World War II. The statues were sculpted by Sergei Orlov, S. Rabinovich and I. Slonim.

10. Teatralnaya Metro Station (Theatre Metro Station) is located near the Bolshoi Theatre.
