Beck is back with a haunting new single and a major North American tour to match. On April 20, 2026, the Grammy-winning artist surprise-released “Ride Lonesome“ — a beautiful, melancholic ballad produced by Beck himself and mixed by longtime collaborator Nigel Godrich. The track evokes the lush, introspective sound of his classic albums Sea Change (2002) and Morning Phase (2014 Grammy winner for Album of the Year).
Just one day later, Beck announced the Ride Lonesome Tour 2026 — a 25-date trek across theaters and iconic amphitheaters. The tour kicks off September 16 in Vancouver and wraps October 31 in Nashville, celebrating the new single while delivering Beck’s signature blend of folk, alternative, and experimental vibes.
