Bob Mould Announces New Solo Electric Dates for Fall 2025, Receives Honorary Degree
Fresh off a successful North American band tour, Bob Mould has announced a new series of Solo Electric shows for Fall 2025. The 23-city run kicks off on September 9th in Cincinnati, OH, and concludes on October 11th in St. Paul, MN. This extensive tour will see Mould delving into deeper cuts from his extensive career songbook, offering a more intimate yet equally intense experience for fans.
Mould’s new album, Here We Go Crazy, released in early March, has garnered critical acclaim. He recently delivered a powerful performance of “When Your Heart Is Broken” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and conducted sold-out in-store performances and signings in London, Bristol, and Berlin.
In a significant personal milestone, Mould delivered the keynote address and received an honorary degree at his alma mater, Macalester College, on Saturday, May 17th. Mould, who formed Hüsker Dü during his first year at Macalester but left before graduating due to the band’s rapid success, expressed his gratitude for the opportunity.
