"We're going to do a concert tour, Dewey Cox and the Hard Walkers. As many dates and as big of places as we can do. So, yeah, that's the idea for the 20th anniversary."
"It worked out great. It seems insane. No studio would ever pay you to go even one time on a private plane anymore. But they were desperate at the time [due to the 2007-08 Writers Strike]... The concerts went great, they really did love the music. They barely knew the songs, though, they had just seen the movie."
John C. Reilly intends a 2027 concert tour performing as Dewey Cox with The Hard Walkers to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. Plans call for as many dates and as large venues as possible. An eight-city promotional run followed the film's 2007 release and included studio-funded private-plane travel during the 2007–08 writers strike, a level of support described as unlikely today. The promotional concerts drew enthusiastic audience reactions, with fans embracing the music despite limited familiarity with the songs. Musician Jack White has expressed interest in reissuing the film's original soundtrack on vinyl.
