Tanglewood Adds Hugh Jackman, Brandi Carlile, and More to Summer Series

Tanglewood has announced three additions to its 2026 Popular Artist Series, with Hugh Jackman joining Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops, BRANDI CARLILE returning to the venue, and John Fogerty and Steve Winwood teaming up for a co-headlining concert. Tickets for the three newly announced performances, as well as Alabama Shakes on September 5, will go on sale Friday, March 13 at 10 a.m.

The newly added concerts are Hugh Jackman with Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops, Brandi Carlile, and John Fogerty and Steve Winwood. The updated schedule builds on a summer lineup that already includes Yacht Rock Revue, Paul Simon, James Taylor, Ziggy Marley and Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue, “Weird Al” Yankovic, Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, Cynthia Erivo with the Boston Pops, Carrie Underwood, Tedeschi Trucks Band with Lukas Nelson, and Alabama Shakes with Mavis Staples.

Hugh Jackman’s concert with Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops will mark both his Tanglewood debut and his Boston Pops debut. Jackman, a Grammy, Emmy, and Tony Award-winning performer, was most recently seen in the 2025 film Song Sung Blue and will next appear in The Death of Robin Hood.

Brandi Carlile previously made her Tanglewood debut in 2022 and returned for a sold-out 2024 performance. The 11-time Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, and producer recently released Returning to Myself, which became her fifth top-ten album on the Billboard 200. Her return adds another major date to a year that has also included touring and high-profile collaborations.

John Fogerty and Steve Winwood will share the bill for one of the late-summer concerts. Fogerty, known for his work with Creedence Clearwater Revival and for songs including “Proud Mary,” “Fortunate Son,” “Bad Moon Rising,” and “Have You Ever Seen the Rain,” has sold more than 100 million records worldwide. Winwood, whose career spans the Spencer Davis Group, Traffic, Blind Faith, and a major solo career, has sold more than 50 million records and is known for songs including “Higher Love,” “Valerie,” “Back in the High Life Again,” and “Dear Mr. Fantasy.” Both artists have played Tanglewood before, with Winwood appearing in 1991 and Fogerty in 2024.
