Big Thief has officially announced the 2026 North American leg of their Somersault Slide 360 Tour, extending the band’s ongoing celebration of their sixth studio album, Double Infinity (released in 2025 via 4AD). This new run picks up after their European dates in spring and summer 2026, bringing the acclaimed indie folk/rock outfit back to stages across the US and Canada from August through October.
The tour kicks off on August 2, 2026, in Burlington, VT, at Waterfront Park Concert Series, and culminates in a highly anticipated closer at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, CO (just outside Denver), on October 6, 2026. This Red Rocks finale promises an unforgettable outdoor experience amid the natural red rock formations, a venue known for its stunning acoustics and views—perfect for Big Thief’s intimate yet expansive sound.
