Tesla Announce ‘Let’s Get Real’ US Tour

After an 18-month hiatus that the world has taken from live concerts due to the COVID-19 lockdown, Tesla have announced their return to performing live concerts with the “Let’s Get Real!” tour — kicking off August 5 in Grants Pass, Oregon. The tour will include shows with legendary artists Styx, Kid Rock and Lynyrd Skynyrd, and will continue until November 2021 — hitting continental USA and Mexico.

Says Tesla guitarist Frank Hannon: “We are so excited and anxious to get back to performing ‘real’ live concerts again. There’s nothing like the energy of being in the same spontaneous moment with an audience of people. Tesla has always taken pride in being a high-energy live band relying on performances without any backing tracks or pre-recorded help. We are planning some surprises for our fans on this upcoming tour by playing some deeper Tesla cuts as well as a fresh brand new song we just wrote. Of course we will play the hits as well, but introducing a fresh new track on this return is something we are very excited about!”

Tickets and special VIP Soundcheck packages are on sale now. Visit the band’s official website for further information.

Tesla spent most of 2019 touring in support of their latest album, Shock, which was released in March 2019 via UMe. The follow-up to 2014’s Simplicity was produced by Def Leppard guitarist Phil Collen.
