The Barr Brothers have announced a new stretch of North American tour dates for 2026. From Feb. 11 to May 23, the indie-folk duo of Andrew and Brad Barr will cross the U.S. and Canada with a total of 34 performances, featuring support from Anna Tavis, Land of Talk and Benjamin Lazar Davis. The upcoming series will celebrate the release of their fourth studio album, Let It Hiss, which arrived on Oct. 17 via Secret City Records.
The Barr Brothers’ 2026 live calendar will begin with a series of previously announced fall tour dates, which were shifted to next spring to accommodate a five-date European extension of their tour supporting Mumford & Sons from Nov. 6-17. 14 dates around the Northeast, Midwest and Canada were rescheduled for Feb. 11 to March 1, kicking off from Ottawa, Ontario and proceeding through locales like Toronto, Detroit, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Brooklyn, N.Y., Woodstock, N.Y., their old home of Boston and longtime stomping grounds in Montreal.
The Barr Brothers’ new dates will follow after two weeks off, beginning with shows in Boulder, Colo. and Denver on March 13 and 14. Subsequent stops include Phoenix, Los Angeles, West Hollywood, Calif., San Francisco, Portland, Ore., and Seattle, preceding a 10-stop trek across Canada, including Vancouver, Victoria, BC, Calgary, AB and finally Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, QC from March 28 to May 23.
Let It His is The Barr Brothers’ first release since 2017’s Queens of the Breakers and a record of the long process of vulnerability and personal transformation that allowed them to create together again. While their songwriting has always been nuanced and impactful, their revival is exceptionally striking in its insight and candor; one standout, “English Harbour,” alludes to their renewal in a reflection on moments made divine as they pass into memory and the pull of old attachments, featuring contributions from Jim James and Arc Iris’ Jocie Adams. The album’s title references both an intentionally rough mix and the brothers’ decision to embrace honesty above all else.
Tickets for The Barr Brothers’ new North American tour dates are available to pre-order now, with a general on-sale to follow this Friday, Oct. 24, at 10 a.m. local. Find more information at thebarrbrothers.com.
