On tour in support of their album 1965, The
Afghan Whigs rolled into New York City on September 29th 1999 for a
private show at the club Hush. No one knew it at the time, but it turned
out to be the band’s last show ever, until now…
The Afghan Whigs will come full circle and make
their return to the stage back here in New York on May 23rd at
the Bowery Ballroom. Very special guest Joseph Arthur will
open the show. Tickets will go on sale Friday at Noon at www.ticketmaster.com.
The band will also make their first television appearance in
over a decade by performing on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon on
May 22nd. This performance will be the first public appearance
for the recently reunited group.
The Afghan Whigs have now announced 27 worldwide
shows to date for 2012 including performances at Lollapalooza, ATP’s I’ll Be
Your Mirror (London & NJ), Primavera Sound (Barcelona & Portugal) among
numerous others.
