Journeyman rocker Tom Petty just announced a summer tour with his long running band The Heartbreakers in support of the new Hypnotic Eye, out July 29th on Reprise Records. The album, says David Fricke of Rolling Stone, is “Petty’s decisive return to the concise Sixties-rock classicism and drive of his first great New Wave-era albums, 1976’s Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and 1978’s You’re Gonna Get It.”
The tour brings them to Philadelphia on September 15th to headline Wells Fargo Center with Steve Winwood. Tickets for the show go on sale May 31st at noon. Below, sample some of the new album as a playful Petty offers a taste of the album on vinyl, and watch a couple of songs from the band’s set from last year’s Firefly music festival.
