Ted Nugent has unveiled plans for what could be his final tour, and it includes a stop in Rochester.
On Monday, Nugent, whose career began six decades ago in his native Detroit, announced a summer run called the Adios Mofo ’23 Tour, which will come to Kodak Center, 200 W. Ridge Road, at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, July 25.
Tickets (starting at $35.50 plus fees) go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Friday, April 7, at Ticketmaster.com. A presale starts on the site at 10 a.m. Thursday, April 6.
Nugent’s camp told the Detroit Free Press, “Ted is planning for this to be his last tour.”
However, in a statement, the 74-year-old rock guitarist said: “My amazing American Dream sure as hell ain’t over, and no way can I even see it from here! However, my fiery vaportrail of flamethrowing all American R&B and rock ’n roll has been so much damn fun I can hardly believe it. I will write The Book, but for now, it’s Adios Mofo ’23! Thank you thank you thank you all!”
Nugent made his name with Detroit’s Amboy Dukes in the late 1960s before embarking on a solo career that produced such rock-radio staples as “Cat Scratch Fever,” “Stranglehold” and “Free for All,” later scoring success in the ’80s and ’90s with supergroup Damn Yankees.
In recent years, he has grabbed headlines for his political views, particularly around guns and the Second Amendment.
He has been an outspoken supporter of former President Donald Trump and on March 25 performed "The Star-Spangled Banner" at a Trump rally in Waco, Texas.
