Summerfest has been rolling out its headliner announcements for this summer's festival the last few weeks, but today comes word of a big concert at the festival grounds after Summerfest. Hall and Oates musicians Daryl Hall and John Oates will play theAmerican Family Insurance Amphitheater Sunday, July 26, as part of a big 33-date tour.
Squeeze and KT Tunstall will open. Pre-sale for the show begins today, and general ticket sales begin Friday at LiveNation.com.
And while it seems a little odd that the duo are billing themselves as "Daryl Hall and John Oates" for this tour, instead of their better known Hall & Oates, the current billing reflects a longtime preference. Oates once told Esquire, "There isn't one album that says Hall and Oates. It's always Daryl Hall and John Oates , from the very beginning. People never note that. The idea of 'Hall and Oates,' this two-headed monster, this thing, is not anything we've ever wanted or liked."
So there you have it. Hall & Oates are being true to themselves.
