Gov’t Mule and Joe Bonamassa Are Hitting the Road Together This Summer

Gov’t Mule has been one of the most relentlessly active live bands in rock for decades, and 2026 is no exception. The band’s spring headlining run is well underway, and the dates ahead make a strong case for clearing your calendar between now and August.

Coming up on May 1st, Warren Haynes and Gov’t Mule headline The Orpheum Theater in New Orleans for the second night of a two-night venue takeover. The night before, Haynes performs with the Warren Haynes Band for one of their Dreams & Songs Symphonic Experience shows alongside The Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra. Two nights, two very different contexts, both worth the trip.

This summer, Gov’t Mule teams up with blues-rock titan Joe Bonamassa for an eight-show co-headlining run from July 29th through August 16th. Two guitarists at the top of their respective games sharing a stage for eight nights is exactly as good as it sounds. That pairing alone makes this one of the more compelling rock tours of the year.

The remaining dates stretch across Toledo, St. Louis, Florida, Georgia, Oklahoma, and deep into the South and Northeast before wrapping in Fort Worth in August. Tickets and VIP Experiences are on sale now for all shows.
