Big Thief will return to North American stages this summer with a new stretch of dates billed as part of the Somersault Slide 360 Tour. The run opens August 2 in Burlington, Vermont, and culminates October 6 with a headline night at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, offering fans another chance to hear songs from the band’s most recent record live.
The group is currently touring in Europe and the U.K., and the North American leg adds dozens of stops across the United States and Canada. Now performing as a trio—Adrianne Lenker, Buck Meek and James Krivchenia—the band will revisit both intimate settings and landmark outdoor venues this summer and early fall.
What to expect from the tour
After releasing Double Infinity last year on 4AD, Big Thief has kept a steady schedule of dates. This latest announcement brings back songs from that album alongside older material, and places the band on stages that range from theater rooms to destination amphitheaters.
- Tour opens August 2 in Burlington, Vermont, and closes October 6 in Denver.
- Key stops include Montreal, Toronto, Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium and two nights at Ojai’s Libbey Bowl.
- Several festival and special-venue dates are on the itinerary, underlining the band’s crossover appeal to both festival crowds and theater audiences.

Why this matters now
For listeners who missed previous rounds, this schedule is a second major opportunity to catch Big Thief on tour behind their latest album. The band’s shift to a three-piece lineup has subtly reshaped live arrangements, and reviews from recent shows point to tightened interplay and fresh interpretations of familiar songs.
Tickets for many dates are expected to move quickly, especially at legacy venues like the Ryman and Red Rocks. Fans should check local box offices and official venue listings for on-sale information and updates.
