Darius Rucker Reunites Hootie & the Blowfish for 44-Date “Group Therapy Tour”

Darius Rucker will reassemble one of the most prolific bands of the 1990s—Hootie & the Blowfish—for a 44-date headlining tour in 2019.

Darius and his crew—Mark Bryan, Dean Felber and Jim Sonefeld—announced the new trek, dubbed the Group Therapy Tour, on Today on Dec. 3. The tour will kick off on May 30 in Virginia Beach, Va., and make additional stops in Atlanta, L.A., Houston, New York City, Detroit, Nashville and more. The Barenaked Ladies will serve as direct support.

“Once the four of us met and started playing shows, we toured for years before signing a record deal,” says Darius, who has scored nine No. 1 singles on the country charts over the last 10-plus years.

“There’s nothing like playing music live,” says Mark. “For the first time in nearly 20 years we’ll be coming back to Columbia, South Carolina, where it all began.”

“And we’re ready to rock,” adds Darius.

Tickets go on sale to the public on Dec. 7, with pre-sale opportunities available at 10 a.m. local time on Dec. 3.

Hootie & the Blowfish’s 1994 debut album, Cracked Rear View, is one of the Top 10 best-selling albums of all time, according to the RIAA.
