Gov’t Mule has announced the details for their annual Mule-O-Ween celebration! The band will make their triumphant return to New Orleans on Saturday, October 29th at the Orpheum Theater for their first show in The Big Easy since 2019. Pre-sale tickets for the Halloween show will be available on Wednesday, September 7th at 10am Central Time, with the public on-sale Friday, September 9th at 10am Central Time.
The special Mule-O-Ween show will wrap up Gov’t Mule’s upcoming fall tour, which launches September 17th with a sold-out show at the Fox Theatre in Boulder, CO followed by a headlining performance at the Telluride Blues & Brews Festival where they will be joined by The Levee Horns. The renowned quartet – Haynes, Matt Abts [drums], Danny Louis [keyboards, guitar, and backing vocals], and Jorgen Carlsson [bass] – will then make their way throughout the South for a mix of headlining dates, co-bills with Old Crow Medicine Show and Blues Traveler, shows with very special guests Mike Campbell & The Dirty Knobs, and a few dates featuring The Soul Rebels opening. The road warriors are also set to close out the year with their annual New Year’s Run, a three-night stand kicking off December 29th at The Met in Philadelphia and then returning to The Beacon Theatre in New York City, the band’s unofficial home-court venue, for back-to-back shows on December 30th and 31st.

Wish I lived closer as I would love to go to this concert. With the amazing musical history of New Orleans I expect this will be an epic concert with some great special guests.
These Halloween shows tend to be longer than the regular tour concerts and usually have great special guests and a bunch of band theme related cover songs from a particular band.
I like teat myself to a new Mule show form time to time and like to cherry pick Mule live concerts to buy from Muletracks on Nugs and found that the Halloween and NYE shows are always special with long setlists. If you are looking for Mule show downloads I highly recommend checking out those two dates as you get more bang for your buck IMHO.
Was at a Mule-O-Ween years & years back at the House Of Blues in New Orleans.
Late 90s, probably one of the first ones.
Also saw them at the Orpheum a few years later.

If it was 1999 I attended that one too.
Opening acts were Jerry Joseph & the Jackmormons and Deep Banana Blackout
Only been to one Mule-O-Ween. 10 years ago in Chicago.
It was heavy on Jimi Hendrix which was exciting to me.
And many of Warren's guitar solos wasn't Warren's style but more of a Hendrix bag.
Warren is similar to Jack Pearson in that he is a student of guitar styles and players and can move into that territory with ease when he wants to!!
I was at that Chicago show too ... loved the Hendrix stuff.
That's the one.
I got that poster here somewhere, autographed by the Mule.
