The Group Therapy Tour was concert tour from American rock band Hootie & the Blowfish. It began on May 30, 2019, in Virginia Beach, Virginia, and ended on October 16, 2019, in Birmingham, England. This was their first full tour in over a decade, and was in support of their sixth studio album Imperfect Circle (2019).

As of July 6, 2019, the tour had proven to be the band's most successful, grossing $10.9 million.[1]

Background

In December 2018, Hootie & the Blowfish appeared on The Today Show to announce a new album and tour.[2] In April 2019, UK and Ireland shows were added.[3]

Critical reception

Melissa Ruggieri of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution said, "If you loved their perfectly pleasant bar tunes back then, you'll appreciate that this is a well-produced nostalgic romp featuring a setlist stacked with singalongs, an effective stage show (sharp lighting, major video screen action) and a band that sounds record perfect."[4] Billboard positively reviewed the band's performance in Nashville, praising Sonefeld's drumming, their cover of "Losing My Religion", the fusion of country and rock, and pairing with Barenaked Ladies.[5] Mikael Wood of The Los Angeles Times gave the band's Troubador show a positive review and praised both their musicianship and how happy they made the crowd.[6]
