HALIFAX—John Mellencamp has added a second show for Halifax in September.

In a release issued on Tuesday by the concert promotion group evenko, it was announced that the critically acclaimed singer-songwriter would be playing four shows this September in the Maritimes, up from three, including now on back-to-back nights at the Halifax Forum.

His 20-city Canadian tour is dubbed Sad Clowns & Hillbillies and begins Sept. 26 at the Moncton Events Centre, and will continue Sept. 27 at Harbour Station in Saint John.

He was originally only scheduled to play the Halifax Forum on Sept. 29, but due to strong ticket sales, a second show has been added for Sept. 30, according to evenko.

Mellencamp will be playing at the Forum in Halifax due to renovations happening this summer and early fall at Scotiabank Centre.

Tickets for this second show go on sale Friday at 10 a.m

Tickets for both Halifax shows range in price from $63 to $108.

They are available online at evenko.ca or by calling 1-877-384-9669.

Mellencamp’s list of hits include Jack and Diane, Hurts So Good and Cherry Bomb.
