| Herman and his Hermits have announced the schedule for their summer tour of the United States and Canada. The tour, which will begin on July 1, will take the group to almost every major city in the U.S. It was originally set to last four weeks but the tour is now being extended in an attempt to meet the new offers which have been pouring in. The tour schedule as it stands right now lists the starting date in Honolulu on July 1; San Francisco, July 2; Los Angeles, July 3, Seattle, July 5, Toronto, July 7; Des Moines, July 12; Tulsa, July 14; Dallas, July 16; Houston, July 17; Little Rock, July l8; Atlanta, July 20; Memphis, July 21; Montgomery, July 22; Birmingham, July 23; Chicago and Milwaukee, July 3 1; Atlantic City, August 1; Baltimore, August 4; Boston and Hartford, August 5;Toronto, August 6; Pittsburgh, August 7; Providence, August 8. Herman and his Hermits have decided to do things tip proper this time around and will travel by chartered plane with the press accompanying them at various times. Huge press conferences will be held in each city upon arrival. Thus far, the only two groups to use this technique to their distinct advantage have been the Beatles and Stones. To match their string of unbroken hit records, Herman would very much like to leave behind him a string of broken attendance records and, accordingly,. the group has been booked into large auditoriums and stadiums all across the country. During their previous tour the Hermit's broke attendance records in 12 cities, but this time they're aiming for all 27 cities! And judging by the way their records have a habit of becoming hits, Herman 's Hermits just might succeed in selling-out everywhere they go! |
