It is with a heavy heart that we announce that we have made the difficult decision to postpone our upcoming Rubberneck tour due to health and safety concerns. Covid-19’s Delta variant, besides being highly contagious, has also overwhelmed hospitals in many areas, including our home state of Texas. With so many unknowns, Covid’s surging numbers, and hospital shortages, we felt that the safest thing for us to do is postpone our tour. This was a choice made out of an abundance of caution for our crew, venue staff and especially our fans.

We are appreciative that the live music industry is working hard to protect fans, workers and artists so that live music can once again thrive and we support those efforts.

We thank the fans, promoters, and particularly the bands and their crews that were set to travel with us for their understanding and patience and look forward to future shows when it is safe for everyone involved

THESE NOVEMBER DATES REMAIN
Nov. 4 – New Orleans
Nov. 5 – Houston
Nov. 7 – Dallas

RESCHEDULED DATES WILL BE ANNOUNCED SOON.
As soon as venues have confirmation of a new date they will contact you directly with more information. Tickets already purchased will be honored for the new date as long as the venue is the same ( we are hoping in most cases it will be.) Thanks for your understanding. We cant wait to see you all again. In the meantime, take care of each other.

It is with sincere disappointment that due to health, safety and travel concerns for our band and crew we must announce that Toadies will not be playing Batfest scheduled for August 28th in Austin, TX. This was a difficult decision as we are confident that Batfest organizers are taking the situation seriously. Thanks for understanding and we hope to see y’all sooner than later.

Toadies will hit the road this fall to mark the 25th anniversary of their platinum-selling debut Rubberneck. Technically it is the set’s 27th anniversary, but who’s counting? Covid cancelled all the band’s tour dates and the Rubberneck 25th anniversary run will be the first Toadies shows played since December 2019.

Toadies guitarist Clark Vogeler looks forward to touring again as live music starts opening the doors post pandemic : “I recall seeing the White Stripes play live five days after 9/11 and it was one of the most cathartic music experiences I’ve had. It was simply healing to see live loud Rock and Roll after such a troubling week. I imagine it will be a similar experience for music fans to get out again and see their favorite bands live, just as it will be for me when I get to see my faves again. As much as anything though, I miss playing music with these three guys and can’t wait to do it again so I’m really looking forward to the tour.” Bassist Doni Blair adds “Its scary, exciting and don’t forget… scary but someone has to go out and show people that, because vaccines work, things might be able to go back to some sort of normalcy.”

Fellow Texans, Reverend Horton Heat are on all dates and will play their Al Jourgensen produced Liquor in the Front in it’s entirety. Formed by Mike Wiebe and Rob Marchant of the Riverboat Gamblers and Zach Blair of Rise Against, Drakulas support the first leg of the tour. LA based psychedelic rockers Frankie and the Witch Fingers support West Coast dates, while 90’s cowpunks Nashville Pussy support the tour’s last leg.
