Performance-art trio Blue Man Group has announced a second leg to its "How To Be a Megastar 2.0" tour, which is currently playing across North America.
The group has added 62 additional dates to its 42 previously announced engagements, which continue Tuesday (10/24) in Lexington, KY. The new leg kicks off Feb. 1 in Yakima, WA, and will keep the trio on the road through the end of next April.
The Blue Man Group franchise has grown to encompass ongoing theatrical productions in New York, Boston, Chicago, Las Vegas, London, Berlin and Toronto. The group's debut album, "Audio," was nominated for a Grammy in the Best Pop Instrumental category in 2001, and has since been certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America.
"The Complex"--a rock album featuring collaborations with Dan the Automator, Tracy Bonham, Esthero, Josh Haden, Dave Matthews, Gavin Rossdale and others--followed in 2003, and a supporting tour reached nearly 100 cities throughout the US and Canada, according to a press release. That outing spawned "The Complex Rock Tour Live," a DVD that documents a two-night stand in Grand Prairie, TX.
Blue Man Group's other activities include a foray into film and television scoring that includes work on Fox's "The Jury"; Intel's Pentium 3, Pentium 4 and Centrino television advertisements (in which the group also appears); and a collaboration with John Powell on the score for the animated film "Robots."
