Blues Traveler Expands 2026 Tour, Including Bonnaroo and Red Rocks

Rock band Blues Traveler has expanded their 2026 touring slate with a new run of headline dates, adding to a year that features festival appearances like Bonnaroo and their annual Fourth of July show at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Ticket on-sales begin Friday, February 27, at 10 am local time. Visit The Blues Traveler website here for more information and to purchase tickets.

In addition to these newly announced dates, Blues Traveler will hit the road with Gin Blossoms for a 35-date co-headlining tour set to kick off on Monday, July 6 at the Amphitheater at Las Colonias Park with special guests Spin Doctors. The bands behind hits like “Run-Around” and “Hey Jealousy” will light up stages from the Hollywood Bowl to SummerStage in Central Park, culminating on Saturday, September 19.

Speaking on the co-headlining run with Gin Blossoms, frontman John Popper shares, “It’s rare when a package feels so much like home that it carries a spirit which becomes tangible to an audience. That was the case — by all accounts — regarding our summer tour last year with Spin Doctors and Gin Blossoms. We grew up with Spin Doctors as pups in the same litter… ours is a shared origin story. But working with Gin Blossoms was a first. Their music was everywhere when we were coming up, and yet only last summer did we have the opportunity to learn how fun it is playing with them — and to discover how much energy our three bands put out in combination. So, we’ve decided to take this show everywhere we missed last year. We’re excited to bring it to you.”

Over their career, Blues Traveler has played more than 2,000 live shows in front of over 30 million people and, with “Run-Around,” achieved the longest-charting radio single in Billboard history, earning the band a GRAMMY for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals.

In 2021, Blues Traveler released the GRAMMY-nominated Traveler’s Blues (Round Hill Records), a collection of reimagined and recharged classics from the American blues songbook and the group’s first official blues album. The second release in this series, 2023’s Traveler’s Soul, takes a similar approach, consisting of cover songs from a specific genre, this time classic R&B and soul.
