George Clinton Announces Parliament-Funkadelic 2022 US Tour Dates

The "One Nation Under a Groove Tour" resumes this spring and summer

Back by popular demand, George Clinton is bringing his iconic Parliament – Funkadelic ensemble on the road. The “One Nation Under a Groove Tour” will continue in Spring and Summer 2022, taking the longtime funk legend across the US.

With over 50 years in the game, Clinton announced his retirement from touring in 2018. He brought P-Funk on the first iteration of the “One Nation Under a Groove Tour” the following year with the intent of it being a farewell tour of sorts; apparently, two years in a pandemic provided him with enough time to rest up and get back out there again.

This portion of the “One Nation Under a Groove Tour” will begin in New York City on June 15th at Central Park’s Summerstage. After 17 shows, it will then finish in Napa, California on August 21st. The rotating cast of openers includes Dopapod, Pimps of Joytime, The Motet, The Floozies, Soul Rebels, Fantastic Negrito, Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe, Fishbone, and more.

Presale begins this Wednesday, March 23rd, with tickets available to the general public starting Friday, March 25th at 12:00 p.m. local time. Grab tickets over at Ticketmaster , and see the schedule below.

Back in 2018, Parliament released  Medicaid Fraud Dogg ,  their first full-length album in nearly 40 years. Last year, it was announced that Wiz Khalifa would play Clinton in Spinning Gold , an upcoming biopic about Casablanca Records founder Neil Bogart.

George Clinton and Parliament-Funkadelic 2022 Tour Dates: 06/15 – New York, NY @ Summerstage Central Park * 06/18 – New Haven, CT @ College Street Music Hall * 06/19 – Worcester, MA @ The Palladium * 06/24 – Fort Wayne, IN @ Piere’s ^ 06/25 – Indianapolis, IN @ Clowes Memorial Hall 06/26 – Cincinnati, OH @ Riverfront Live # 06/30 – Asheville, NC @ Salvage Station $ 07/02 – Pelham, TN @ The Caverns $ 07/07 – Philadelphia, PA @ Fillmore ! 07/22 – Ft.

George Clinton & Parliament-Funkadelic review – fabulous fusions on farewell tour

Kentish Town Forum, London At 81, Clinton occasionally needs to sit down, but his band more than carry him with musicianship that straddles acid-rock, jazz and more

K een-eyed observers will note that this is not George Clinton’s first farewell tour: he was supposed to quit the road in 2018, which, at the time, he said was “part of a plan” he had conceived several years previously. Said plan has clearly been redrawn. A few weeks shy of his 81st birthday, Clinton is on the stage again, clad in sequinned trousers, a sailor’s hat with a huge eye on it and something that looks like an ancient Egyptian collar made out of holographic material – an outfit that may well constitute George Clinton’s idea of dressing down in a manner befitting his advanced years.

His role in live shows has diminished over time, although it’s still more than you suspect your average octogenarian could muster: when he’s not adding vocal interjections, dancing or beckoning for more applause, he retreats to a seat at the rear of the stage.

You could never accuse the current incarnation of Parliament-Funkadelic of not compensating. The band is still as gleefully overstaffed as at their 1970s height – at points there are eight vocalists performing at once – and Clinton presides over a kind of barely-controlled chaos: musicians wander on and off stage, swapping instruments and roles. At one point, a singer reappears both wielding a guitar and stripped to his underpants. They sound fantastic, fusing together what are effectively Parliament-Funkadelic’s greatest hits – Up for the Down Stroke, One Nation Under a Groove, Flashlight – into sprawling medleys that devolve into lengthy jams.

These underline what a broad musical universe Clinton’s brand of funk was. Michael Hampton, who was a 17-year-old prodigy, Kidd Funkadelic, when he first joined Clinton in 1975, delivers stinging acid-rock guitar solos. Greg Thomas’s sax and Greg Boyer’s trombone are audibly informed by jazz – during one solo Boyer quotes from John Coltrane’s A Love Supreme, and during a lengthy (Not Just) Knee Deep, Thomas leads the audience in a scat-singing call-and-response derived from Cab Calloway.

As always in the P-Funk universe, the sublime happily co-exists with the ridiculous, both on stage and in the audience, where a gentleman who looks like he could conceivably be a bank manager sports a homemade T-shirt bearing the title of Funkadelic’s 1975 song No Head, No Backstage Pass. From his back seat, Clinton wears a broad grin: a patriarch of misrule to the end.

George Clinton & Parliament-Funkadelic are on tour in the UK until 28 May.

Best new music to hear from St. Vincent, Ngaiire, Kamasi Washington and more

Look, we get it. Life gets busy and with so much music available at our fingertips, it can be overwhelming to find something new to enjoy.

That's where our team of music brains step in. Every fortnight, they'll bring you a handful of new releases worth your time and attention.

So, if your playlists needed a little freshening up or digging around your streaming service just seems like hard work, here are five recent releases to listen to this week.

St. Vincent – All Born Screaming

Whether it's your first introduction to St Vincent — aka shapeshifting art rocker Annie Clark — or you've been closely following her career, her seventh studio effort is a rewarding experience.

This week's Double J Feature Album , All Born Screaming feels like a 10-track tour of the best bits of her discography, pinballing between synth-laden anthems, industrial rock, gothic prog, and even reggae and a gothic spin on a James Bond theme, brass and all.

Tying this eclectic offering together is Clark's refined songwriting. She's written for gen Z pop sensation Olivia Rodrigo and helped pen Taylor Swift's mega-hit Cruel Summer, and here she's refined her ability to transform experimental ideas into oddly accessible gems.

Reckless merges Clark's teen inspirations Nine Inch Nails and Tori Amos, while Dave Grohl brings his juggernaut drumming to the slithering Broken Man and gritty, sauntering Flea.

Elsewhere, she channels Davids Byrne and Bowie respectively on the title track's avant-pop groove and The Power's Out, which updates Ziggy Stardust's apocalyptic Five Years for 2024.

Much like the album's artwork, it's a dark, fiery listening experience that will win you over with its sonic surprises and sense of raw urgency.

For fans of:  David Byrne, Fiona Apple, Florence + The Machine

— Al Newstead

Ngaiire and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra – Live at the Sydney Opera House

The first-ever live album from Papua New Guinea-born singer Ngaiire is no joke: a stunning 62-minute collection that melds her intricate brand of modern soul with the revered Sydney Symphony Orchestra.

While it's easy to believe orchestral arrangements will just be stern and soulless, the truth is that this ensemble brings out a lot of the playfulness in Ngaiire's work. Yes, there are moments where the strings soar alongside her voice and it sounds like what we could only hope ascending to the afterlife feels like, but, just as frequently, the orchestral embellishments are a lot of fun.

It must have been nerve-wracking putting together a show of this scope at the mighty Opera House, but there was never any question that Ngaiire would rise to the occasion: Her voice is so clear and commanding that the orchestra frequently fades into the background – a true show stopper.

Don't let this be your only point of reference for Ngaiire, though. No matter what you take from this record, you'll take something different when listening to her three excellent studio albums, which are just as deserving of your time as this collection.

For fans of: Janelle Monáe, Hiatus Kaiyote, RAYE

— Dan Condon

Kamasi Washington – Fearless Movement

A virtuoso saxophonist and respected band leader, Kamasi Washington has achieved the seemingly impossible: making jazz hip again.

Since the crossover success of his 2015 album The Epic , Washington has continued crafting sprawling compositions that splice jazz with outside influences and heady subject matter including politics, spirituality, and personal reflection.

The LA muso's fifth proper album Fearless Movement is billed as a tribute to the art of dance, resulting in music that's fuelled by funked-up rhythms, firebrand rapping and intriguing collaborations.

Parliament-Funkadelic's George Clinton guests on the strutting Get Lit, rapper-turned-flute wizard André 3000 appears on the cosmically groovy Dream State, and lifelong buddy Thundercat shreds bass on Asha the First, which is built on a melody from Washington's three-year-old daughter.

Running at 86 minutes (which is actually more concise than the record's two-hour-plus predecessors), Fearless Movement is best approached by letting its impressive scope wash over you.

Opening with an Ethiopian Orthodox prayer and bringing together covers of Argentine composer Astor Piazzolla's Prologue and 80s electro-funksters Zapp's talk-box-led Computer Love , the album is until any other released this year.

For fans of:  Robert Glasper, Alice Coltrane, Thundercat

Forest Claudette – Jupiter

Forest Claudette won't be boxed in. The Naarm/Melbourne artist makes a buttery-smooth mix of neo-soul, alt-R&B and hip hop that defies genre boundaries.

Blessed with a soulful voice that most closely resembles Frank Ocean (high praise in itself), Forest Claudette has a voice that is future-facing and evokes other musicians that flaunt conventions (Childish Gambino, Steve Lacy, Genesis Owusu) but very much has its own thing going on.

After championing their music at triple j , I can say that Jupiter — Forest Claudette's third EP in as many years – is their most personal work yet.

Pairing an infectious falsetto hook with languid beats, Kobe Beef is the first song Forest Claudette (real name Kobe Hamilton-Reeves) has written about being non-binary .

Gold is a sleek semi-ballad and Big Wigs brings funky swagger, while the silky Only Human confidently rejects gender norms with pitch-shifting vocals and playful production.

"If men are from Mars and women are from Venus, maybe I could be from Jupiter. Jupiter represents a home and safe place for all the non-binary babies to live," Hamilton-Reeves explained the EP's title in a statement.

If Jupiter's four bops aren't enough for you, there's an album's worth of quality musicianship and supernova charisma to enjoy between 2022's The Year of February and 2023's ARIA-snagging Everything Was Green. 

Taken all together, this body of work is back-to-back-to-back evidence that Forest Claudette is a future star.

For fans of:  Frank Ocean, Steve Lacy, Childish Gambino

Bobby Alu – Keep It Tropical

Full disclosure, I've just returned from a long weekend on the beautiful island of Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island), so I was very much in the right place to devour Samoan Australian Bobby Alu's new album after its release on Friday.

This collection of island-friendly tunes cements Alu as one of our country's finest reggae talents – having bassist Paulie B and drummer Declan Kelly on board certainly doesn't hurt – as his classic, Bob Marley-esque melodies, relaxed ukulele strum and all-round good vibes come together seamlessly in a collection of songs that make an impact.

"How do you find joy? I Keep It Tropical," Alu said in a statement.

"This is my mantra. What this mantra means for me is to spend time with friends. To take naps. Be generous. Go on adventures. Have gratitude. Enjoy the little things. Strive to be better. Don't be so serious. Love. Laugh a lot. Eat the odd doughnut. Swim in the ocean. Enjoy the sunshine and warmth. It is an ongoing quest."

Alu is a soulful singer and a strong songwriter, and here he gives us a hefty dose of classic lovers' rock with a seemingly limitless bucket of good vibes. He sounds like a man who couldn't hold a grudge if it were stuck to his palms, and there's power to the gentle yet confident way he delivers these uber-chilled tracks.

For fans of: Bob Marley, Mat McHugh, Jack Johnson
