Mellencamp’s previous tour, the massive “Live and In Person 2023,” saw sold-out dates across the U.S. and a host of critical praise, leading to its expansion with “Live and In Person 2024” in 27 additional cities. Forbes praised the run, saying “…it doesn’t appear that Mellencamp has any intention of slowing down or abandoning his trademark feistiness.” Additionally, The Chicago Tribune noted, “Identity, pride, purpose, trust, understanding: These motifs coursed through Mellencamp’s narratives.”
