George Clinton leaves retirement, announces Parliament-Funkadelic tour

George Clinton had been making music at the elite level for more than half a century in 2018, when he announced that he'd stop touring after a farewell run the following year. But today, the 80-year-old funk pioneer and founder of Parliament-Funkadelic has shared the news that he'll be rejoining the band this summer for 17 performances across the U.S., starting June 15 at New York's Central Park Summerstage.

P-Funk will have support from several combinations of Dopapod, Pimps of Joytime, the Motet, the Floozies, Soul Rebels, Fishbone, Karl Denson's Tiny Universe, and Fantastic Negrito throughout their trip. View the full schedule below.
