Alabama Shakes have officially unveiled their 2026 spring tour, setting up one of the most anticipated concert runs of the year. Building momentum from their busy 2025 schedule, the band’s upcoming tour stretches from North America to festivals in Europe and includes a combination of headline dates, major festival stops, and support slots with Zach Bryan. This tour announcement confirms a long series of live shows that are set to occupy much of the band’s performance calendar throughout the spring and summer months.
Alabama Shakes are committing to an extended touring cycle, giving fans multiple chances to see them across different settings, from amphitheaters to large-scale festival stages. The scope of the announcement makes it clear the band is planning well beyond a limited run and that they are intentionally structuring this tour to reach a wide set of geographic regions and audiences.
Spring Into Summer: U.S. Headline Dates and Festival Appearances
The 2026 tour kicks off on April 16 in Richmond, Virginia, and continues through a slate of headline amphitheater dates across the United States throughout April and May. Performances include stops in Asheville, North Carolina; Atlanta, Georgia; St. Augustine and Tallahassee, Florida; and additional cities across the Southeast and Midwest, showcasing a true cross‑country routing for the spring segment of the tour.
The U.S. leg wraps up with a major two‑night stand at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado, on May 24 and 25. The choice of Red Rocks as a closing stop highlights the scale of the tour and the continued demand for the band as a live draw in one of the country’s most iconic outdoor venues, known for its natural acoustics and historic performances.
In addition to headline shows, Alabama Shakes are slated to appear at several major festivals, including High Water Festival, New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, and Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival. These festival appearances place the band alongside a wide range of artists and allow them to reach both longtime fans and new audiences in environments that attract diverse crowds.
Supporting Alabama Shakes on select headline dates are Joy Oladokun, Mon Rovîa, Lamont Landers, and JJ Grey & Mofro, offering stylistic variety across different stops on the tour and providing added exposure for talented supporting acts.
Europe and Beyond: International Dates Take the Band Abroad
Following their U.S. run, Alabama Shakes will continue touring internationally with shows across the United Kingdom and Europe in July 2026. The international leg includes festival appearances and standalone headline shows, giving overseas fans multiple opportunities to catch the band live beyond the U.S. and reinforcing the band’s appeal among international audiences that have supported their work for years.
Stops include performances in Leeds, appearances at Summer Festival in Lucca, Italy, a headline show at Alexandra Palace in London, and additional festival dates in Portugal, Spain, and Belgium.
Special Support Dates With Zach Bryan
Alabama Shakes will also join Zach Bryan as a supporting act on select stadium dates later in the year. These performances include a July stop in Eugene, Oregon, and a September 19 show in Dover, Delaware, placing the band in front of some of the largest crowds of the tour and allowing a crossover of fanbases between the band and Bryan’s audience.
A Tour That Reflects a New Chapter
After an active 2025 and a packed 2026 schedule, the band’s touring plans reflect consistency rather than a one‑off moment. With headline dates, festival appearances, international shows, and stadium support slots, Alabama Shakes are positioning themselves across multiple live music spaces. Whether catching them at a festival, a storied venue like Red Rocks, or a stadium show, 2026 offers fans an unusually wide range of opportunities to see Alabama Shakes onstage throughout the year.
