In just a few weeks, multi-talented artist Foy Vance will share his buzzed-about new album The Wake. Today (Feb. 19), the Irish-born musician and lyricist unveiled a massive roster of headlining dates that begin this fall and stretch into early 2027.
Vance’s 2026 The Wake World Tour will begin on Sept. 3 in Zurich, Switzerland, launching an overseas leg that will be followed by a lengthy run of North American dates. The 60-date trek includes stops in New York City, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., Toronto, Seattle, Austin, Portland, Nashville, and Denver. His impressive run of shows will come to a close on May 1 with a performance at The Wilbur in Boston.
The tour will offer concertgoers a chance to hear tracks off The Wake, set for release on March 13 via Rounder Records, in a live setting for the first time. Produced by Ethan Johns, the LP promises to be one of the 51-year-old’s most personal projects yet, marking the close of a pivotal period of healing and emotional exploration that emerged following the death of his father in 1999. Over that 26-year span, Vance crafted 7 albums, with The Wake serving as the raw, deeply moving bookend to this formative, personal, and creative chapter.
An artist presale for all The Wake World Tour dates listed below begins Tuesday, Feb. 24, at 10 a.m. local time. It will be followed by a general onsale beginning on Friday, Feb. 27, also at 10 a.m. local time. You can find more information about the shows and ticketing options by visiting Foy Vance’s official website.
