In February 2016, Dolenz announced that the Monkees would be releasing a new album, titled ''[[Good Times!]]'', as a celebration of their 50th anniversary. ''Good Times!'' featured contributions by all three surviving members, as well as a posthumous contribution from Jones through vocals he had recorded in the 1960s.<ref>{{cite magazine |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/the-monkees-plot-50th-anniversary-tour-new-lp-good-times-20160205 |title=The Monkees Plot 50th Anniversary Tour, New LP 'Good Times!' |last1=Greene |first1=Andy |date=February 5, 2016 |magazine=Rolling Stone|access-date=February 5, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160206003747/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/the-monkees-plot-50th-anniversary-tour-new-lp-good-times-20160205 |archive-date=February 6, 2016 |url-status=live }}</ref> The album was released in May 2016 to considerable success, reaching No. 14 on the Billboard 200<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/artist/418654/monkees/chart?f=305|title=The Monkees - Chart history - Billboard|magazine=Billboard|access-date=July 14, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180719071311/https://www.billboard.com/artist/418654/monkees/chart?f=305|archive-date=July 19, 2018|url-status=live}}</ref> and receiving generally favorable reviews.

With the release of the album, the band, featuring Dolenz and Tork, commenced their 50th anniversary tour. Nesmith did not participate in most of the tour, again citing other commitments. He did, however, make a few appearances throughout the summer of 2016, appearing virtually via [[Skype]] to perform "Papa Gene's Blues" at one concert and in person for a four-song encore at another. In September, he replaced Tork on the tour for two dates while Tork attended to a family emergency. After Tork returned to the tour, Nesmith performed with the band for a concert at the [[Pantages Theatre (Hollywood)|Pantages Theatre]] in Hollywood on September 16.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/michael-nesmith-to-reunite-with-monkees-for-one-last-concert-w435433|title=Michael Nesmith to Reunite With Monkees for One Last Concert|magazine=Rolling Stone|last=Kreps|first=Daniel|date=August 20, 2016|access-date=August 25, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160823131311/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/michael-nesmith-to-reunite-with-monkees-for-one-last-concert-w435433|archive-date=August 23, 2016|url-status=live}}</ref>
