Mike D, born Michael Diamond, is a founding member of the Beastie Boys, the New York hip hop group formed in the early 1980s that became known for albums such as Licensed to Ill and Paul's Boutique. The group also included Adam "MCA" Yauch and Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz. Yauch died in 2012, after which the surviving members said they would not continue to perform or record as the Beastie Boys.
Since then, Mike D has kept a public profile through occasional DJ sets, production work, writing and design projects, rather than large-scale touring under the Beastie Boys name. Any confirmed run of tour dates from him is therefore of interest to fans who have followed his activity since the group stopped performing together.
The story concerns dates being confirmed across North America, the UK and Europe, though the specific venues, timings and nature of the shows are part of the latest reporting rather than this background.
