In March, Ween canceled a run of 40th-anniversary tour dates slated for April. At that time, Ween guitarist Mickey “Dean Ween” Melchiondo addressed the decision to cancel the April shows in an attempt to “preserve (his) mental and spiritual well being.”

Ween – Deaner and Ween co-founder Aaron “Gene Ween” Freeman, along with bassist Dave Dreiwitz, drummer Claude Coleman Jr. and keyboardist Glenn McClelland returned to the live stage last weekend. The group performed two shows at the KettleHouse Amphitheater in Missoula, Montana, and another at the Spokane Pavilion in Spokane, Washington.

Few details were shared regarding the cancellation of the Seattle, Portland and Eugene shows. The message shared by the band indicated tickets will be refunded through the purchasing outlet.
