Don McLean Announces 50th Anniversary “American Pie” Tour

At the beginning of this week, Don McLean announced an extensive world tour for the upcoming year in celebration of the 50th anniversary of his hit song “American Pie.” 

The tour kicks off at the start of 2022 in Honolulu, Hawaii before continuing across North America and then heading overseas for a leg of European shows. 

“After spending the past 18 months at home, I am thrilled to be getting back on the road with my band,” McLean said in a statement. “2022 marks the 50th anniversary from when ‘American Pie’ landed at the No. 1 spot on the Billboard chart and we will be celebrating on tour all year long.
