[6/16/25]: Gov’t Mule has announced the Back In The Saddle Tour, a run of 2025 tour dates set to extend the Warren Haynes-led quartet’s 30th anniversary celebration through the end of October [get tickets].
“How has it been 30 years since Gov’t Mule’s first album came out? It’s kinda crazy to believe – time really does fly when you’re doing what you love!” shared Haynes along with the tour announcement. “It’s also hard to believe that it’s been over a year since the last Mule tour. Matt, Danny, Kevin and I are chomping at the bit to be back out there celebrating this monumental anniversary with our amazing fans.”
The first extensive Gov’t Mule tour since early 2024 will make its way around the East Coast and Midwest from August 27th through October 28th. Haynes (guitar, vocals), drummer Matt Abts, multi-instrumentalist Danny Louis, and bassist Kevin Scott will stop in 18 cities including Milwaukee, Columbus, Buffalo (featuring Big Sugar opening), Charleston, Fort Lauderdale, Raleigh, Virginia Beach, and Sidney, ME (with moe. on the latter date). The new headlining shows will follow Gov’t Mule’s previously announced headlining date in Louisville on July 25th. See below for all upcoming dates and details.
