Gov’t Mule will be returning to New York’s Beacon Theatre, as part of its holiday run in December. The band will perform December 29, 30 and 31 at the venue. Ticket info will be announced shortly on www.mule.net.

The group is also holding the ‘Wave ‘em Wide & High at Bonnaroo Contest,’ which encourages fans to fly banners relating to Warren Haynes during this weekend’s festival, especially when he is on stage. Haynes will appear with the Allman Brothers Band on Saturday and solo acoustic on Sunday. He is also expected to sit in with various acts throughout the weekend (no news there). The holder of the best banner during each performance will receive an autographed copy of Haynes’ The Lone EP and have a chance to meet Warren.
