Mellencamp Plots Fall Tour, Next Studio Album
While he hunkers down in his Bloomington, Ind., studio with producer T Bone Burnett on his next album, John Mellencamp has confirmed a return to the road this fall. The 14-date tour will begin Oct. 26 in Terre Haute, Ind., and run through Nov. 15 in St. Louis.
According to his publicist, Mellencamp is likely to debut some of the new songs he’s been working on with Burnett during the outing. The next album, which is as yet untitled, will be the follow-up to this year’s “Freedom’s Road.”
Before the tour, Mellencamp will perform as part of the NFL kickoff telecast on Sept. 6 in Indianapolis, and will anchor the 2007 Farm Aid three days later at New York’s Randall’s Island.
