Indie rock legends Dinosaur Jr. and Band of Horses are joining forces for an epic co-headlining summer 2026 tour across the East Coast and Midwest! Announced on March 16, 2026, this special run features both bands performing classic albums in full: Dinosaur Jr. will play their influential 1993 masterpiece Where You Been from start to finish, while Band of Horses celebrates the 20th anniversary of their 2006 debut Everything All the Time with a complete live playthrough at every show.
Kicking off July 10, 2026, at Ulster Performing Arts Center in Kingston, NY, the tour spans 16 shared dates (with some Band of Horses-only shows toward the end), delivering raw, nostalgic energy from two of alt-rock’s most enduring acts. Expect Dinosaur Jr.’s fuzzy, distortion-heavy jams like “Start Choppin'” and “Get Me,” paired with Band of Horses’ soaring anthems such as “The Funeral” and “The Great Salt Lake”—all in album-sequence glory for fans old and new.

- Full-Album Immersion: A rare chance to hear two landmark records performed end-to-end—Where You Been (Dinosaur Jr.’s breakthrough major-label release) and Everything All the Time (Band of Horses’ indie breakout, now 20 years strong).
- Co-Headlining Vibes: Longtime friends finally teaming up, promising high-energy sets and potential crossovers.
- Prime Venues: Intimate theaters, amphitheaters, and gardens across the Northeast, Southeast, and Midwest for that classic live rock feel.
