Video: Watch Brandi Carlile Perform 'Church & State' on THE LATE SHOW
Carlile will continue her “The Human Tour” through the fall.
Brandi Carlile visited The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Tuesday night, where she performed “Church & State” solo on piano and spoke with the host. Carlile also performed a special web-exclusive version of Alphaville’s “Forever Young.” Check out both performances here.
Carlile will continue her “The Human Tour” through the fall, including stops at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre (three nights), Fort Worth’s Dickies Arena, Austin’s Moody Center and Santa Barbara’s Santa Barbara Bowl, among many others.
She will also headline Newport Folk Festival on July 26 and return to The Gorge Amphitheatre this spring with her “Echoes Through the Canyon” weekend on May 29, 30 and 31, with The Highwomen headlining night three.
Additionally, the eighth edition of Carlile’s Girls Just Wanna Weekend will take place in Riviera Maya, Mexico, January 14-18, 2027. Blind Faith tickets are on sale starting April 8 at 1:00 pm ET. Full details can be found here.
Carlile’s tour comes in the midst of her new album, Returning To Myself, which she also produced alongside Andrew Watt, Aaron Dessner and Justin Vernon. It debuted at #7 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart this past fall.
Carlile was also recently honored as one of TIME’s 2026 Women of the Year, performed a rendition of “America the Beautiful” at Super Bowl LX, and appeared on NBC’s Saturday Night Live as musical guest for the fourth time. Additionally, her song, “You Without Me,” from Returning to Myself, was featured twice in the season three finale of Shrinking, out now on Apple TV.
Carlile is an Oscar-nominated and 11x Grammy-winning singer, songwriter, performer and producer, 2x EMMY-winning composer, lyricist and writer, #1 New York Times Bestselling author and activist. Throughout her career, Carlile has released eight studio albums, including Who Believes in Angels?, the universally acclaimed, Grammy-nominated collaborative album with her childhood hero, Elton John, which debuted at #1 in the U.K. and top 10 in the U.S.
