Actor Depp announced on Sept. 1 his plans to join Beck for the majority of the guitar legend’s North American tour.

The two are no strangers to working together, having teamed up on various projects over the years. The first official Beck-Depp release came in 2020 with their cover of John Lennon’s “Isolation.”

Their full-length collaborative effort, 18, was announced in June of this 2022 (post-Depp-Heard trial) and released shortly after.

A track from the album, titled “Sad Motherf–in’ Parade,” came under fire in August when the duo was accused of plagiarism, having allegedly used phrasing from a 1974 poem by Bruce Jackson without crediting the writer.

A spokesperson for the pair has stated allegations of the intellectual theft are being reviewed, adding “If appropriate, additional copyright credits will be added to all forms of the album.”

Beck will hit the road on the first of October, kicking off the tour’s North American leg in Atlanta, Georgia, and making stops in Boston, Toronto, Nashville, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles before wrapping on November 12 in Reno, Nevada. Depp will join the tour on October 4 in Washington D.C.
