Overview
- Mike D posted a five‑show U.S. East Coast tour on the Mike D 5D site with ticket presales before a general on‑sale and venues listed from Boston to Queens.
- The tour is scheduled to follow the release of Thank You, Mike D’s first full‑length solo album, which is a 10‑song record that includes the singles “What We Got,” “Switch Up,” and “True Colors.”
- He will perform with a backing band billed as 5D, which blends family and collaborators and names Skyler and Davis Diamond alongside Eddie Ruscha, Will Graefe, and Milo Ruscha.
- Before announcing the U.S. dates, Mike D previewed material in intimate Los Angeles club shows and has played dates in the U.K. and mainland Europe plus festival appearances to refine the live set.
- The project marks a public solo return for the Beastie Boys cofounder after a long group hiatus following MCA’s death and benefits from mainstream label and production support that could shape critical and commercial response.
