Micky Dolenz, the sole surviving member of the legendary pop group The Monkees, is on the road, celebrating the1960s superstars 60th anniversary. The huge “60 Years of The Monkees” tour kicked off on February 12 in Solana Beach, California, and is making stops across the country, including shows in Austin, Los Angeles, Atlantic City, Orlando and more, before winding up in St Charles, MO on November 13. The tour rolls into Orlando this week, with Dolenz taking to the stage at Hard Rock Live Orlando on Friday, June 26, 2026! The tour’s setlist features Dolenz performing The Monkees’ hits in chronological order, from the chart-topping classics to the fan favorites — all told with his signature warmth, wit, and the personal tales behind each song. This is a rare opportunity to experience a legend live, backed by his full band.

Ahead of the tour Dolenz spoke about his achievements with The Monkeys, “I’ve spent nearly my entire life either in front of or behind the cameras or microphones, much of what I’ve been able to share with the world has come from this thing called The Monkees — this wacky musical-comedy TV show about a band struggling for success. Interestingly, on the show, the Monkees never actually made it. Off-screen, however, we sold out concerts all over the world.” He continued, “I remain proud of what I’ve achieved in my time, particularly with my late great and still-beloved Monkee brothers Davy [Jones], Peter [Tork], and Michael. What I want to do, as the 60th anniversary of that wonderful moment is upon me, is to look back and share with the fans the sheer joy of what we accomplished — and what it all still means to so many.” The Monkees were a pop band formed in Los Angeles in the mid-1960s. The band consisted of Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones, Michael Nesmith, and Peter Tork. Spurred by the success of The Monkees television series, they were one of the most successful bands of the late 1960s.
