British blues-rock star Joanne Shaw Taylor has announced a new run of U.S. headline dates for Spring 2026. Kicking off March 18th in Skokie, IL, the tour will bring Joanne’s powerhouse live show to fans across the East Coast and Southeast, including stops in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Florida, and more.
A special artist pre-sale will go live at 10am local time today (9/23), followed by venue pre-sales on Wednesday, September 24th. Tickets go on sale to the general public this Friday, September 26th at 10am local time. For more information and to purchase tickets, please visit joanneshawtaylor.com/tour.
The tour announcement comes on the heels of Joanne’s Black & Gold (Deluxe Edition), which added three new acoustic recordings to her most critically acclaimed album to date – including the title track “Black & Gold (Acoustic),” released earlier this month. A stripped-down, soul-baring version of her blues-gospel interpretation of Sam Sparro’s pop hit, the acoustic single showcases Joanne’s gift for emotional reinterpretation and raw storytelling.
The Deluxe Edition also features newly recorded acoustic versions of fan favorites “Grayer Shade Of Blue” and “Hold Of My Heart,” continuing a run of singles that peel back the layers of Joanne’s songwriting and offer fans an intimate look at the album’s emotional core. Produced by Kevin Shirley (Black Crowes, Journey, Aerosmith), the original Black & Gold album blends blues, soul, Americana, and cinematic pop – and was widely praised as a career-defining moment.
“Black & Gold” was already a standout moment on the original album, praised for its emotional depth and musical transformation. The acoustic version peels away the layers, spotlighting Joanne’s expressive voice and delicate guitar work. With lyrics like “If you’re not really here, then I don’t wanna be either,” the track becomes a raw meditation on presence, purpose, and cosmic longing.
Classic Rock hailed Black & Gold as “a 9/10,” while Powerplay Magazine praised its “pop appeal and smoothness.” Guitarist magazine noted it “reinforces Joanne’s place in the firmament of today’s brightest stars,” and American Blues Scene called it “a deeply personal experience, showcasing the depth of Joanne’s artistry.”
The 2026 Spring U.S. Tour adds to Joanne’s busiest touring year yet, following a U.S. Spring 2025 run, summer festival appearances, and her ongoing Fall 2025 tours across the U.S. and Europe. Known for her fierce guitar work, smoky vocals, and emotionally charged performances, Joanne continues to captivate audiences worldwide with a live show that blends new material, fan favorites, and timeless blues.
