Henry Rollins turning 50, celebrating w/ NYC, LA & DC shows

Henry Rollins, whose only upcoming 2010 show is a sort of live radio-but-not-radio KCRW show at the Echoplex in LA on December 9th, is turning 50 on February 13th, 2011. And to celebrate he’ll be going out on spoken word tour entitled “50”. All dates aren’t announced yet, but they will include a special 50th birthday event in Henry’s native Washington, DC on February 13, sandwiched between multiple-night runs at Joe’s Pub in New York (February 8-12) and Largo in Los Angeles (February 16-19).

$35 tickets for the five NYC shows go on sale Friday, December 3rd, at noon – online and at the box office (or at 212-967-7555). “Hipster elite” beware.
