The Zombies playing 'Odessey & Oracle' again on 2017 tour

The Zombies at their 2015 ‘Odessey & Oracle’ show in NYC (more by PSquared)

Last year, Colin Blunstone and Rod Argent reunited with fellow surviving original Zombies members Chris White and Hugh Grundy for full performances of their classic 1968 album Odessey & Oracle (we caught the tour in NYC). They’ll do it again on a 2017 North American tour, and they’re saying these will be the final Odessey & Oracle shows. In addition to the four original members, they’ll be joined by Jim Rodford, Tom Toomey, and Steve Rodford, who play in Blunstone and Argent’s current version of the band. European dates are TBA.

The tour hits NYC on March 25 at Town Hall. Tickets for that show go on sale Friday (10/21) at 10 AM with fan club and AmEx presales starting Wednesday (10/19) at 10 AM. All dates are listed below.

There will also be an Odessey & Oracle coffee table book being published by BMG in March 2017. “It will be an album-sized (12” X 12”) volume of the lyrics of Odessey and Oracle, as well as many of their other popular songs, handwritten by the authors with original artwork – from Terry Quirk who created the iconic cover artwork for Odessey and Oracle.”
