Judy Collins is stepping into her final chapter on the road. The legendary folk voice has announced her “Sweet Judy Blue Eyes” farewell tour, a sweeping run that begins this summer and carries through 2027. This is a career-spanning sendoff from one of the genre’s defining figures.
The tour begins with June warmup dates before officially launching July 4 at the America Made in Virginia: 250 Years Together celebration in Williamsburg. From there, Collins moves across North America with a schedule that stretches coast to coast, including stops in Denver, Chicago, Las Vegas and Honolulu.
A rotating lineup of special guests adds depth to the run. Richard Thompson, The High Kings, Bruce Cockburn, Elles Bailey and Livingston Taylor are all part of the tour, with more names to come. Each show brings a different dimension, reinforcing the weight of the moment.
Collins, now 86, continues to command the stage with a voice and presence that shaped generations of songwriting. The material holds up. The performances still land. These shows carry history, precision and emotional pull in equal measure.
The tour will continue with a second leg titled “Sweet Judy Blue Eyes – Celebration Encore,” extending the experience for audiences who want one more moment with a living cornerstone of folk music.
