Multi-platinum jam rock mainstays Blues Traveler expand their 2026 touring slate with a new run of headline dates, adding to a year that already includes Bonnaroo and their annual Fourth of July return to Red Rocks Amphitheatre. This year’s Red Rocks show features special guests Better Than Ezra and The Record Company. Ticket on-sales begin Friday, February 27 at 10 AM local time.
The 2026 surge follows a milestone 2025 celebration marking 30 years of their GRAMMY Award-winning hit “Run-Around.” The anniversary brought renewed spotlight to the band’s legacy, including a Rolling Stone feature with frontman John Popper. Decades in, the harmonica-driven sound still commands massive stages and devoted crowds.
In addition to the newly announced dates, Blues Traveler will co-headline a 35-date run with Gin Blossoms beginning July 6 in Grand Junction, Colorado, with special guests Spin Doctors. The tour hits landmark venues including the Hollywood Bowl and SummerStage in Central Park, culminating September 19 in Traverse City, Michigan. It is a coast-to-coast celebration of radio-defining rock anthems.
John Popper says, “It’s rare when a package feels so much like home that it carries a spirit which becomes tangible to an audience. That was the case – by all accounts – regarding our summer tour last year with Spin Doctors and Gin Blossoms. We grew up with Spin Doctors as pups in the same litter… ours is a shared origin story. But working with Gin Blossoms was a first. Their music was everywhere when we were coming up, and yet only last summer did we have the opportunity to learn how fun it is playing with them – and to discover how much energy our three bands put out in combination. So, we’ve decided to take this show everywhere we missed last year. We’re excited to bring it to you.”
