Recent Achievements and Upcoming Plans

The digital release of Live in Manchester comes amid a flurry of activity and accolades for Don McLean. Earlier this year, he celebrated the reissue of several classic albums on vinyl and CD and even took the stage to perform at the 32nd Annual Movieguide Awards, demonstrating that his music continues to earn acclaim across generations. In May 2025, McLean was invited to speak at the prestigious Oxford Union Society in England – a visit that coincided with a historic moment. His enduring anthem “American Pie” was embraced as a celebratory theme when Pope Leo XIV was inaugurated as the first American-born Pope, with “American Pie” and Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the U.S.A.” played in his honor. The sight of world leaders and dignitaries joining in the chorus of “American Pie” underscored the song’s unparalleled cultural impact more than 50 years after its release.

On the touring front, Don McLean’s live calendar remains busy. This spring, McLean signed on with Day After Day Productions for exclusive worldwide touring representation, ensuring that his live show will continue to reach audiences far and wide. The partnership signals an exciting new chapter in McLean’s live career, with extensive tour dates planned through 2025 and 2026. In fact, the Live in Manchester digital release arrives just as McLean is back on the road: he’s headlining summer concerts and gearing up for a special “50+ Years of American Pie” celebration tour. (McLean’s signature song turned 50 in 2021, and its legacy is still in full force – including being featured in major films like Avengers: Black Widow and earning McLean a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame during its golden anniversary year.)
