Yo Gabba Gabba! tour brings ‘Party’ to more North American cities in late 2010

After a sold-out debut tour and a special appearance at Coachella 2010, the cast of acclaimed children’s show Yo Gabba Gabba! is taking its show on the road. Over the course of nearly four months, DJ Lance Rock will be joined on stage by his cast of life-sized creatures and special celebrity guests for the live show, “There’s a Party in My City!”

The Gabba Gang will visit 60 cities across the United States and Canada, beginning with an August 27 event at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts in Bethel, NY. The year-end trek will span 15 weeks with its end date set for December 12 at Dr Pepper Arena in Frisco, TX.

Several U.S. markets on the itinerary will host the Gabba Gang for extended stays. Two-night runs are lined up for September 2-26 at Wang Theatre in Boston, MA; October 2-3 at Radio City Music Hall in New York, NY; October 9-10 at Chicago Theatre in Chicago, IL; November 20-21 at Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco, CA; November 26-27 at Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, CA; and December 4-5 at Dodge Theatre in Phoenix, AZ.

Canadian audiences can also catch a Yo Gabba Gabba double-header September 11-12 at Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver, BC. The tour will hit a total of nine markets north of the border, with other stops including a September 4 show at Molson Canadian Amphitheatre in Toronto, ON, and a September 19 event at Scotiabank Place in Ottawa, ON.

General onsale dates vary from city to city, but the majority of U.S. box offices will open to the public over the June 4-5 weekend. Ticket prices start around $25 and run up to $75 in select cities, according to current listings on Ticketmaster.com. One dollar from each ticket will be donated to local chapters of Habitat for Humanity. More details about ticket onsales and Habitat donations are available on the official Yo Gabba Gabba! Live! Web site.

Yo Gabba Gabba! Live! debuted in late 2009 with four sold-out shows in Los Angeles, New York City and Chicago, before expanding to six more North American cities in March 2010.

Each performance on the “Party” tour runs about an hour, with segments led by DJ Lance Rock and recurring guest Biz Markie. It also features the usual cast of characters — Brobee, Foofa, Muno, Plex and Toodee — and a roster of “super-secret” special guests.
