Gov’t Mule has unveiled the first wave of their 2026 touring schedule, headlined by a highly anticipated summer co-promotion with blues-rock titan Joe Bonamassa. This marks the first time the two longtime collaborators will officially tour together, with eight joint dates scheduled from late July through mid-August. The band’s spring itinerary also includes a special “Mile High Mule” performance at Denver’s Mission Ballroom and a headline slot at Joe Bonamassa’s Sound Wave Beach Weekend in Florida. Frontman Warren Haynes expressed his excitement for the pairing, noting that while they have shared the stage many times over the years, this dedicated run represents a new milestone for both artists.
Before the summer trek, Haynes remains incredibly prolific with a series of diverse projects, including the annual Island Exodus “concert-cation” in Jamaica featuring John Scofield and the 33rd annual Christmas Jam in Asheville. Fans can also look forward to a remastered 10th-anniversary reissue of Haynes’s debut solo album, ‘Tales of Ordinary Madness’, arriving January 30th via Megaforce Records. To support that release, Haynes will embark on an intimate 11-date solo acoustic tour in February, followed by a run with the Warren Haynes Band in March. Presales for the new Gov’t Mule dates begin tomorrow, December 9th, with general tickets and VIP packages becoming available on Friday, December 12th.
