(ATLANTIC CITY, NJ) -- Hard Rock Live at Etess Arena presents The Doobie Brothers: Walk This Road Tour on Friday, October 2, 2026 at 8:00pm. A limited number of tickets are still available for the Grammy Award-winning, Platinum-selling, Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall of Fame legends.
The tour aligns with the 50th anniversary of the iconic band's milestone album Takin' It To The Streets, released in 1976 on Warner Bros. Records. Takin' It To The Streets, the band's sixth studio album, was the first Doobie Brothers album to feature singer/songwriter/keyboardist Michael McDonald on lead vocals and keys. The LP featured hit Doobie Brothers songs, "Takin' It To The Streets" and "It Keeps You Runnin'" as well as numerous other fan favorites.
In honor of the 50 year anniversary of the watershed album, on July 10th Rhino Records released Takin' It to The Streets (Rhino Reserve), cut from original analog masters by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab and pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing.
Tickets start at $105 and are available for purchase online. Hard Rock Live at Etess Arena is located at 1000 Boardwalk in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
The Doobie Brothers released their exceptional new studio album Walk This Road to critical acclaim in 2025. Rolling Stone dubbed it "vintage Doobies" with "all of the hallmarks that made the group such a force in the Seventies and Eighties — the irresistible melodies, the spark-up-and-chill vibes, those voices." Associated Press praised it as having "something for everyone — honky-tonk, driving country, flirty Southern pop, moody folk and melodic rock." Ultimate Classic Rock praised it for its "balance of rock, soul, pop and pristine adult contemporary for every type of Doobie Brothers fan."
Walk This Road is their 16th album and their first ever studio album featuring principal members Tom Johnston, Patrick Simmons, John McFee and Michael McDonald, and the first in 40 years to feature McDonald in the studio again recording new music with the band. The record has ushered in a new era of the Doobie Brothers which saw a Songwriters Hall of Fame Induction, UK and US tours and an exquisite NPR Tiny Desk appearance, which included the hit song "Takin' It To The Streets."
