Bright Eyes are heading back on the road this fall.
The Conor Oberst-led indie rock group will launch their next US tour in October following a pair of festival sets at August’s Maha Festival in Omaha and September’s Riot Fest in Chicago. Supporting the band on the run will be the reunited Lullaby for the Working Class, another Omaha-based indie group comprised of Bright Eyes’ Mike Mogis and Nate Walcott, Cursive’s Ted Stevens, Shane Aspegren, and Megan Siebe, and additional members Macey Taylor and Tiffany Kowalski. Mogis and Walcott will be performing with both bands each night.
The tour kicks off on October 3rd in Minneapolis, with stops following in Detroit, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Asheville, Atlanta, Nashville, New Orleans, Austin, Dallas, and Kansas City. The brief outing ends on October 18th in St. Louis; see Bright Eyes’ full list of 2026 tour dates below.
Tickets for Bright Eyes’ fall 2026 tour will first be available via an artist pre-sale running on Wednesday, June 24th at 10:00 a.m. local time; fans can register for pre-sale access to their desired show date(s) over on Bright Eyes’ official website. A Live Nation pre-sale is also available for select dates on Thursday, June 25th at 10:00 a.m. local time; fans can sign up for Live Nation’s free All Access membership to gain access. Tickets go on sale for the general public on Friday, June 26th at 10:00 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster and the band’s website.
Bright Eyes just concluded a notable 21st anniversary celebration, where they performed the entirety of I’m Wide Awake, It’s Morning and Digital Ash in a Digital Urn at Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheater, Los Angeles’ Hollywood Bowl, and New York’s Forest Hills Stadium. The first two shows went off without a hitch, though the New York show was rained out midway through; Bright Eyes have yet to announce a replacement date for the Forest Hills Stadium show, and there are no New York stops scheduled on the upcoming US run.
Bright Eyes’ last album was 2024’s Five Dice, All Threes, which was followed by last year’s Kids Table EP.
