Flight Of The Conchords are reuniting for a 2016 tour and they just announced their Chicago stop will be at Millennium Park on June 19. Tickets go n sale Friday.

The comedy folk duo of Jemaine Clement and Bret McKenzie gained fame through a Flight Of The Conchords BBC radio series that transitioned into a two season run on HBO in the late-aughts. The band has also released two albums, 2008's Flight of the Conchords and I Told You I Was Freaky in 2009.

The band has largely been on hiatus and this is their first large scale tour of the U.S. since 2013's Funny Or Die Presents The Oddball Comedy & Curiosity Festival with Dave Chapelle.

In an email statement, McKenzie said, "I’m thrilled to get back on the road with over half the original band.”

There is also news that the band has been working on new songs, so we can expect the shows to feature previously unheard material.

Tickets go on sale Friday, March 4 at 10 a.m. Seats in the the Jay Pritzker Pavilion will run between $55 and $45, while lawn seats will be $25.
