Acclaimed GRAMMY-nominated band Gov’t Mule, led by guitar legend, vocalist, songwriter and producer Warren Haynes, has announced the details for their annual New Year’s Run, the quartet’s venerable commitment of bringing together the Mule community to ring in the new year since 2002. The three-night stand – Celebrating 30 years of The Mule – will kick off Saturday, December 28th at College Street Music Hall in New Haven, CT and then return to the Beacon Theatre in New York City, the longstanding home of their New Year’s shows, for back-to-back nights Monday, December 30th and Tuesday, December 31st. These special year-end shows will mark the first Gov’t Mule headlining shows since their February “30 Years Strong Tour” and continue the celebrations for this major milestone as they honor the band’s past, present and future.
“It’s hard to believe it’s been 30 years,” shares Haynes. “It’s also hard to believe we’ve been celebrating New Year’s together for over 20 years. These are always such special shows for us. I’m looking forward to being with the band revisiting some of the stuff we haven’t played in a long, long time and, of course, being with our incredible fans.”
VIP onsale will begin Wednesday, September 18th at 12pm ET through Tickets Today with local promoter and partner pre-sales starting Thursday, September 19th at 12pm ET.

ABOUT GOV’T MULE
For three decades, Gov’t Mule has galvanized a global fan base with their honest, organic and daring music and improvisational virtuosity, leading them to be recognized as one of the most timeless, revered and active bands in the world whose spot amongst rock titans remains unshakable. Led by visionary GRAMMY Award-winning artist, guitar legend, songwriter and producer Warren Haynes – a cornerstone of the American music landscape – the enduring, globally revered GRAMMY-nominated group has showcased its intelligence and breadth over the course of 20+ studio and live albums, thousands of memorable performances, and millions of album and track sales. Gov’t Mule’s most recent studio album, 2023’s Peace…Like A River (Fantasy Records) is a timeless rock collection featuring guest appearances from Billy F Gibbons, Ivan Neville, Billy Bob Thornton, Ruthie Foster, and Celisse. Peace…Like A River – hailed as “perfection,” “captivating,” “riveting,” and among the band’s best – marked the follow-up to Mule’s GRAMMY-nominated blues album, Heavy Load Blues, with both albums recorded at The Power Station New England during the same sessions but created in different rooms with no shared gear or instruments. Gov’t Mule – Haynes [guitar, vocals], Matt Abts [drums], Danny Louis [keyboards, guitar, and backing vocals], and Kevin Scott [bass] – has become a human encyclopedia of great American music while adding to that canon with their signature sound. The band’s flexible interplay in the studio and on stage makes them a true living, breathing ensemble and Haynes is lauded as one of the most formidable guitarists and vocalists of the modern era and a prolific songwriter and producer.
