The Kinks' 1965 US tour
- ... that due to events during the Kinks' 1965 US tour, the US musicians' union blocked the band from American performance for the next four years? Source: Doyle, Mark (2020). The Kinks: Songs of the Semi-Detached. London: Reaktion Books. ISBN 978-1-78914-254-9. p. 68–69: "The second factor that pushed Davies's songwriting in new directions was the blacklisting of the Kinks by the American Federation of Musicians (AFM) after a disastrous three-week tour of America in the summer of 1965. ... It would be four years before the Kinks were able to return to America."
Improved to Good Article status by Tkbrett (talk). Self-nominated at 12:07, 5 March 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/The Kinks' 1965 US tour; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Article is neutral, meets the required length, and is sufficiently referenced and free of copyvio. Improved to Good Article status on the same day as this nomination. Hook is interesting, succinct, and referenced—it's always a good idea to add some ALTs, but this one is interesting enough that it shouldn't matter. QPQ looks good. This is good to go! – Rhain ☔ (he/him) 00:59, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
