Tenacious D to Play U.S. Concerts in September 2023

By Madison Bloom

Tenacious D have added some U.S. dates to their Spicy Meatball Tour. After wrapping up a handful of shows in Europe, Jack Black and Kyle Gass will begin their North American dates on September 6 in Charlotte, North Carolina. They’ll also play cities in Tennessee, Indiana, Arkansas, and Texas, wrapping things up in Austin on September 15. Check out Tenacious D’s full schedule below.

Last month, Tenacious D returned with their new single “ Video Games .” The track is produced by John Spiker, and it arrived with a music video featuring animated versions of Black and Gass. The duo also officially released a cover of Chris Isaak’s classic ballad “ Wicked Game ,” along with a goofy Taylor Stephens–directed visual featuring Black and Gass frolicking in the ocean.

On June 25, Tenacious D will perform at the annual Video Game Awards, which are being held at the Hollywood Bowl. The band is readying its next album, as Black teased at the end of the “Video Games” single.

Tenacious D’s summer 2022 gigs come after the band celebrated the 20th anniversary of their self-titled debut album earlier this year. Back in September, the group marked the occasion by launching an advent calendar that featured an array of goodies, from rare behind-the-scenes footage to recreations of the album’s skits and interviews with the album’s producers, the Dust Brothers. They also reissued Tenacious D as a “Super Power party Pack” with old demos and other rarities.  

“It’s been rad to do a little doff of our cap to our first album,” Black told Rolling Stone at the time. “It was such a huge moment in our lives. So we knew we had to mark the occasion. It’d be weird not to. When you say, was it fun for us to do it? It’s not really for us. It’s for the fans. It’s only for the fans!”

Tenacious D

The spicy meatball tour with dave hill.

DATE : Sept. 11, 2023

TIMES : Gates open at 6:30pm. Music starts at 8pm.

Rightfully hailed as "the greatest band on Earth," the acoustic metal/comedy duo Tenacious D was an unlikely success story. Actually, Tenacious D was probably so successful precisely because they were so unlikely: few people would imagine that two guys bashing on acoustic guitars, singing songs like a tribute to the greatest song in the world (because they forgot how the greatest song in the world went after conquering the Devil with it), became one of the biggest cult bands of the late '90s and 2000s. But the sheer charisma, humor, and energy -- not to mention the inspired songwriting -- of singers/guitarists/actors Jack Black and Kyle Gass (aka JB, Jables, KG, and Kage, among other aliases) took them from L.A.'s underground comedy scene to their own series on HBO and a major-label album deal.

Presented by Walmart AMP in partnership with Live Nation.

Jack Black and Kyle Gass, the dynamic duo behind Tenacious D, formed the Greatest Band in the World in the late '90s in Los Angeles. Their journey includes a hit HBO variety series in 1999, a Platinum-certified self-titled album in 2001, and a feature film, "Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny," in 2006. Their 2012 album, "Rize of the Fenix," earned a Grammy nomination.

In 2013, they founded the Festival Supreme, a music and comedy festival in LA featuring top acts. Tenacious D also won a Grammy in 2014 for Best Metal Performance.

In 2018, they released "Tenacious D in Post-Apocalypto," an animated film with a hand-drawn frame and accompanying soundtrack. A graphic novel completed the Post-Apocalypto universe in 2020.

In 2021-2022, they released cover songs for charity and launched a fiber bars line. They continued their creative streak with "Words + Music | Vol. 29 | Tenacious D’s The Road To Redunktion," an Audible Original featuring archival audio.

In 2023, they rocked Las Vegas with sold-out shows, launched "The Spicy Meatball Tour," released a hit song "Video Games" and a viral cover of "Wicked Game." With 1 million Instagram followers, Tenacious D remains the Greatest Band That Ever Played on Planet Earth, selling out shows worldwide.
