The Cars North American Tour Spring 2011 is a set of eleven concerts in the United States and Canada featuring the newly reunited American band The Cars.[1] Announced in April 2011 prior to the release of the band's album Move Like This,[2] the concerts feature material from Move Like This and from the band's 1970s and 1980s albums.[3]
Singer/guitarist Ric Ocasek, keyboardist Greg Hawkes, guitarist Elliot Easton and drummer David Robinson performed as a quartet, as original Cars singer and bassist Benjamin Orr died in 2000.[4] Orr's bass parts were performed by Hawkes on keyboard and bass, while the vocals on songs originally sung by Orr ("Just What I Needed", "Let's Go" and "Moving in Stereo") were performed by Ocasek.[3] As Ocasek died on September 15, 2019, this is the final tour from the band.
