John Fogerty reveals plans for ‘The Legacy Tour’ in 2025 to honor Creedence Clearwater’s music
Renowned artist John Fogerty has recently unveiled plans for an expansive 11-date tour called ‘The Legacy Tour,’ set to commence this autumn. The tour will coincide with the release of his latest album, Legacy: the Creedence Clearwater Revival Years, a compilation of 20 re-recorded CCR classics like “Fortunate Son” and “Bad Moon Rising.” Commencing on Halloween in Atlantic City and concluding in Boston on November 14, the tour will visit several prominent cities, including Nashville, Atlanta, Virginia Beach, and Newark, with ticket sales starting on August 27.

This collaboration adds a personal touch to the performances, creating a familial atmosphere that resonates with fans. The album itself represents a significant milestone for Fogerty, as it marks a return to his roots with the reclamation of ownership of the CCR catalog and master recordings after enduring prolonged legal disputes over the years.
Working alongside his son Shane, John Fogerty took on the role of co-producer for the record, assembling a team of seasoned musicians including Matt Chamberlain, Bob Malone, Bob Glaub, and Rob Stone to bring his vision to life. The presence of these long-time collaborators on the album hints at their potential involvement in Fogerty’s upcoming tour, adding an extra layer of excitement for fans eagerly anticipating the live performances.
With a career spanning several decades, Fogerty has solidified his status as a music legend, captivating audiences with his timeless hits and electrifying stage presence.
