Long-running indie rock band Built to Spill have announced a massive headlining tour for 2026. Revealed today (March 4), the 30-date roster of shows will take the Doug Martsch-led act to 30 cities across the U.S. later this year.
The leg of live shows will begin on May 2 in Burlington, Vt., and include later stops in Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, and Minneapolis, along with three back-to-back nights in San Francisco. It’ll all come to a close with a final headlining show in Salt Lake City on Sept. 1.
Martsch, the band’s lone founding member, will be joined by current bandmates Melanie Radford and Teresa Esguerra on all dates, including a handful of previously announced festival appearances this summer and fall. Lily Seabird, The Hypos, Wussy, Guerilla Toss, and PLAYDEAD will serve as support on select dates of the tour.
You can snag tickets to a show near you starting this Friday, March 6, at 10 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster. Additional information about the tour and ticketing options can be found by visiting Built to Spill’s official website.
