Tenacious D concert chronology

The Spicy Meatball Tour was a concert tour by American comedy rock band Tenacious D[1] [2] The tour began on May 6, 2023 and ended on July 14, 2024 with the band playing in the United States, Europe and Australia.[3] Whilst the tour was not supporting the release of a new studio album, it was supporting the song and music video, "Video Games", released in May 2023.

In July 2024, the tour was cut short following a comment made by Kyle Gass in Sydney regarding the attempted assassination of Donald Trump.[4]

History

The set list consisted of music from the band's first three albums (Tenacious D, The Pick of Destiny, Rize of the Fenix). Music from their fourth album, Post-Apocalypto, was not performed on the tour.

A new Tenacious D song, "Video Games", premiered online, on May 11, 2023 with a music video directed by Adam Paloian and his production company Pinreel Inc., which was the band's first new music video since 2012.[5]

On June 1, 2023, the band released a music video for their cover version of Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game", a song the band started performing on this tour.[6] The band had a yearly tradition of releasing the cover of a song every year.

The band also released a coloring book, titled "Tenacious D: The Official Coloring Book" while on this tour. Limited edition signed copies of the book were available on each stop of the second leg, starting with the show in Charlotte, North Carolina.[7]

In February 2024, the band announced their first tour of Australia and New Zealand in eleven years, to be held in July 2024.[8]

In May 2024, the band re-issued Rize of the Fenix on vinyl whilst on tour.[9]

Opening acts

Musician Steel Beans and acoustic duo Wynchester (featuring Tenacious D's John Konesky), opened for specific nights of the first leg of the tour. For the fall U.S. dates, comedian Dave Hill opened for the band.[10] For the European dates on the fourth leg, Crusade (also featuring Konesky) and Dave Hill supported on different nights with Crusade supporting in Sydney.[11]
