John Oates Of The Legendary Duo Hall & Oates To Play Newtown Theatre

NEWTOWN, PA — Legendary musician John Oates will perform on stage at the Historic Newtown Theatre on Tuesday, April 29 at 8 p.m.

Tickets go on sale Friday, January 31 at 8 a.m. at TheNewtownTheatre.com/concerts for $85 per person or $75 for theatre members. Any remaining tickets will be sold for $95 at the door on the night of the show (if available). All seating is general admission.

Oates is cofounder of the iconic music creators, Hall & Oates, and an accomplished solo artist. He is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, The American Songwriters Hall of Fame, recipient of the prestigious BMI Icon Award, as well as numerous American Music, MTV awards, and multiple Grammy nominations.

At the Newtown concert, Oates will perform a mix of his solo material, some covers, and a handful of Hall and Oates’ mega hits. Oates will be part of a four-piece band that includes him on acoustic guitar/vocals, percussion/backing vocals, cello, and electric guitar/pedal steel.

Performing million-seller hits from the past and new songs framed with the back stories of how they were written, Oates will take the audience on an intimate sonic journey that’s been described as “musically sophisticated, carefully crafted, and thoroughly entertaining.” This is music as it was meant to be enjoyed … authentic, organic, and full of surprises.

Since forming his creative partnership with Daryl Hall in the early 1970s, they have gone on to record 21 albums, which have sold more than 80 million units, making them the most successful duo in rock history. They scored 10 number-one records, over 20 Top 40 hits, and have toured the world for decades.

Since embarking on a solo career in 1999, Oates has recorded seven solo albums. In addition, his 2017 autobiography, “Change of Season,” became an Amazon best seller.

In 2023 he released a series of new original digital singles distributed by “The Orchard” in a wide variety of eclectic styles as well as penning another series of songs for the feature film “Gringa.” His most recent recording project, “Folk-esque,” was released in 2024. He is currently performing an intimate series of solo acoustic shows called an “Evening of Songs and Stories” in America and around the world.

Beer, wine, and canned cocktails will be available for purchase at the theatre before the show and during intermission. The theatre is located at 120 N. State Street in Newtown Borough.
