Duff McKagan is heralding the eagerly awaited US kick-off of his Lighthouse Tour ’24 with today’s premiere of three new songs that see him joined by a trio of iconic punk legends set to accompany him on select dates of the upcoming headline run. All three songs are available now. ‘All Turning Loose Ft. lee Ving‘ and ‘My Name Is Bob Ft. Joey Keithley‘ will be on an exclusive 7” available on this tour.
“’All Turning Loose’ seems to highlight those times in life that you just wanna pull your fuckin’ hair out! Lee Ving adds his pure brilliance…and it makes me so happy!” says Duff McKagan. “‘My Name Is Bob‘ is a fun rocker that seemed to write itself one day. Having Joey Shithead be my compatriot along for the ride is one of the best things that could ever happen.”
“Witness the power and glory from DUFF & Co on the forthcoming single ‘All Turning Loose‘!!” says Lee Ving. “Don’t miss it (especially with me singing on it)! Range War is honored to play upcoming shows with Duff McKagan this November. Keep an eye out for surprises! Don’t miss your chance to see Range War on its first tour in over 35 years! We look forward to seeing you all there!”
“Hey it was great to be invited to sing on My Name is Bob,” says Joey Shithead. “It’s a great story about how messed up life can be for the average person. Duff hit the nail directly on the head with this one. My name is Joe but I’m glad to help kick ass in the name of Bob! Ya Hey!!!”

Duff McKagan and his band wrapped the EK/UK leg of Lighthouse Tour ’24 earlier this week following sold-out stops in Scotland, England, the Netherlands, Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, France, and Sweden. Among the tour’s highlights was a very special guest appearance by Sex Pistols co-founding guitarist Steve Jones, at London, England’s Islington Assembly Hall that saw the two long-time friends (and Neurotic Outsiders bandmates) joining forces for electrifying renditions of Johnny Thunders’ ‘You Can’t Put Your Arms Around A Memory‘ and David Bowie’s ‘Heroes‘, the latter of which can be viewed now at McKagan’s official YouTube channel. In addition, an exclusive Lighthouse Tour ’24 Recap video showcasing the run’s first week of shows is streaming now.
McKagan marked the start of Lighthouse Tour ’24 last month with the debut of a double-sided single including a distinctive cover of Bowie’s timeless ‘Heroes‘ b/w ‘True To The Death Rock N Roll Ballard‘, both available now. Heroes‘ is joined by an official visualizer streaming now at YouTube.

McKagan’s first solo headline run in five years, ‘Lighthouse Tour ‘24‘ celebrates last year’s release of his critically acclaimed third solo album, ‘Lighthouse‘, available everywhere now. Hailed by Paste as “an emotional, personal and spiritual reckoning…(McKagan’s) most important rock project yet,” the album sees Duff McKagan baring more of his artistic spirit than ever before, fusing acoustic elements with hard-edged rock ‘n’ roll to land at the sweet spot between soul-searching reflection and pure energy. ‘Lighthouse‘ was met by critical applause from such international outlets as Rolling Stone, Kerrang!, Revolver, and American Songwriter for such singles as ‘Lighthouse‘, ‘I Saw God On 10th Street‘, and ‘Longfeather‘, the latter hailed by Revolver as “folky, elegiac” and joined by an official music video streaming now at YouTube. McKagan later performed ‘Longfeather‘ with an exclusive appearance on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, streaming here
