As with the tour�s first leg, Los Lobos, the East Los Angeles rock band that has crossed cultural and generational boundaries for more than thirty years, will join Mellencamp on the bill for the new dates. Collaborations between Los Lobos -- Cesar Rosas, Louie P�rez, Steve Berlin, Conrad Lozano and David Hidalgo � and the Mellencamp band have been eagerly anticipated by concert goers since initial news of the tour broke several weeks ago.

Mellencamp noted, �These shows are all about the music and the songs, that�s the essence of what we�ll be bringing. The bands and I are really looking forward to getting out there and performing some new songs and, of course, a lot that are familiar to everybody. It�ll be a fantastic experience for the audience and all of us.�
