Lord Huron Tour 2026: Inside 23 Nights at the Broken Bottle
by Alex Montilly
Lord Huron's tour running from December 2026 into January 2027 is called 23 Nights at the Broken Bottle: A Rambling Residency, and it does not work like the band's recent North American runs. It is a residency that moves. Lord Huron settles into theaters, most of them vintage, for one, two, or three nights, then travels to the next city. There is no opening act, and the band has not published a setlist. The summer amphitheater tour behind The Cosmic Selector Vol. 1 has finished, the band's only date before the residency is a September festival slot, and the residency opens Dec. 1 in Nashville. Here is what the format means, which cities are on the route, which are not, and where seats stand now.

The Lord Huron Tour, Explained
23 Nights at the Broken Bottle is a traveling residency. The band stays in each city for one to three nights, builds the same themed stage in every room, then moves on. It sits between a standard tour and a fixed Las Vegas residency, which is where the confusion starts.
A Residency That Travels
The word "residency" usually points at an artist parked in one venue for months. That is the Las Vegas model, and it is why these dates look wrong at first glance: they keep changing cities. The band's own wording solves it. The full name is 23 Nights at the Broken Bottle: A Rambling Residency, and "rambling" is doing the work. The residency part is the repeated stay in a city where a normal routing gives one night. The touring part is that the production then packs up and drives to the next theater.
Inside The Broken Bottle
The Broken Bottle comes from the band's own fiction: a desert honky-tonk bar that appears in Lord Huron's songwriting and visual world. Each stage on this run is dressed as that bar, so the room becomes part of the story. The band described the shows as "a neon and moonlit journey across the years," a line carried in the announcement coverage at JamBase. That phrasing points at the setlist as much as the set design: a night that moves through the catalog, with no single record to promote.
Why the Rooms Are Smaller
Most of the run sits in vintage theaters: the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, The Chicago Theatre, the Paramount Theatre in Seattle, Kings Theatre in Brooklyn, The Wiltern in Los Angeles. These are seated rooms with balconies, each holding under 4,000 seats, and Consequence framed the run as a much different experience from the sold-out amphitheater and arena shows the band played most recently. That choice shapes the rest of this page, because fewer seats per night changes what the resale market looks like.
Who Is Opening for Lord Huron?
No one. Every date was announced as An Evening With Lord Huron, which in the live-music industry means a single-artist show with no support act, as Consequence reported when the residency was announced. The band plays the full night, in every city.
There Is No Opening Act
The practical version: the time printed on your ticket is when Lord Huron starts. There is no 45-minute support slot to arrive late for and no changeover gap in the middle. Door and start times vary by venue, so check your own ticket instead of assuming a standard 8 p.m. show. Theaters with assigned seating also move slowly at the doors, which matters more when the headliner is first on stage.
What "An Evening With" Means
One detail worth having if you plan to explain this run to a friend: "An Evening With Lord Huron" is a billing format, not the name of the tour. Several listings and social posts use it as a title, which is where much of the confusion started. The tour name is 23 Nights at the Broken Bottle: A Rambling Residency.
What the Setlist Pulls From
The band has not published a setlist for this run. Consequence reported that the shows range from global hits to rarely performed deep cuts, and uDiscover Music described the same mix of fan favorites and rarely played material. What the band has not said is whether any two nights carry the same songs.
Hits, Rarities, and Deep Cuts
This is the part that changes what a ticket buys. The announcements describe a set that reaches from the band's biggest songs to material that rarely gets played live, which puts catalog depth on stage next to the hits. The caveat is real: with no published list, no specific song is guaranteed on any specific night.
Songs From The Cosmic Selector Vol. 1
The Cosmic Selector Vol. 1, released July 18, 2025, is the band's fifth album and featured guest appearances from Kristen Stewart and Blonde Redhead's Kazu Makino. Lord Huron toured North American amphitheaters behind it through the summer of 2026, and that run has ended. The residency is a separate project, which is why the framing is a journey "across the years."
Two-Night Cities: Which Night?
Chicago, Montréal, Brooklyn, Vancouver, and Seattle each get two nights. Los Angeles gets three. Because no setlist has been published, choosing between them is not a choice about songs. What you can choose is everything around the songs. Weekday or weekend shapes the evening around a show with a hard start time and no opener to absorb a late arrival. First night or last fixes where your show sits inside the city's stand, and a two-night city offers only those two positions. What is listed right now decides the seat, which in a room this size is the gap between the floor and the top of a balcony.
The Los Angeles third night was added after the initial announcement, which is what took the official tour listing to 24 dates. The tour is named 23 Nights at the Broken Bottle, so the schedule runs one show longer than the title counts.
Once you have a night in mind, check what is listed for it:
Lord Huron Tour Dates and Cities
The residency opens Dec. 1, 2026, at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville and closes in January 2027 with a three-night stand at The Wiltern in Los Angeles. December covers the Midwest and the Northeast, and January is a West Coast run. Full dates, venues, and current listings sit below.
One Festival Date First
One date falls between the summer tour and the residency: Sept. 20, 2026, at Knox Farm State Park in East Aurora, New York, as part of Borderland Music + Arts Festival. It sits outside 23 Nights at the Broken Bottle entirely: a festival slot on a shared bill, with none of the theater staging described above.
The December Run
December opens in Nashville, works through the Ohio Valley and Michigan, and reaches the two-night stand in Chicago. From there the route swings east to upstate New York, Philadelphia, and Boston in quick succession. The month ends north and then south again, with two nights in Montréal followed by two more in Brooklyn to close out 2026. The official listing lives on the band's own tour page.
The January Run
January restarts on New Year's Day in Sacramento and moves through Nevada and the Bay Area in the first week of the year. The run then heads north for two nights in Vancouver and two more in Seattle at the Paramount Theatre. Los Angeles closes it at The Wiltern with three consecutive nights. Listings for these dates are gathered on the Lord Huron tickets page. To compare what is available across the West Coast stops, start here:
Cities Not on This Lord Huron Tour
This is a short route. Phoenix, Dallas, Houston, Austin, Denver, Portland, Spokane, St. Louis, and Salt Lake City are not on it, and neither is anywhere outside the cities named above. Searches pairing "Lord Huron" with a city name often surface pages for shows that have already happened.
The Route Is Narrow
The residency runs across roughly six weeks split over two months, and the city list is small by design. Multi-night stands in theaters eat the calendar that single arena nights would spread across the country. As of August 2026, no additional cities have been announced beyond the official routing (the only addition since the announcement is a third Los Angeles night).
Red Rocks and the Summer Shows Are Over
Two past events keep muddying search results: Lord Huron's back-to-back Colorado nights in June 2026, a sold-out June 10 show at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, followed by the band's first-ever date at Denver's Fiddler's Green Amphitheatre on June 11, and the summer 2026 North American tour behind The Cosmic Selector Vol. 1, which ran from June 2 to Aug. 8, 2026. Both finished before this residency was announced, so a Denver-area or summer festival listing for Lord Huron points to a past event.
Finding the Closest Show
If your city is off the route, it is worth locating the nearest stop before writing the run off. For Phoenix, that is the Las Vegas date on Jan. 2, 2027. Sacramento and Oakland fall two days apart, which gives Northern California two options inside one week. The same holds in the Midwest, where Cincinnati, Columbus, Detroit, and Grand Rapids all fall within a few days of each other. Browsing music tickets by date rather than by home city usually turns up a workable trip.
How to Get Lord Huron Tickets Now
The presale and the general on-sale have both already happened. Resale is the main route to a seat for these dates. Prices there move with demand, so what matters before you pay is who stands behind the ticket and what happens if something goes wrong.
Presale and On-Sale Status
The presale opened Aug. 5, 2026, at noon local time, announced directly by the band, and the general on-sale followed on Aug. 7 at 10 a.m. local time. The third Wiltern night on Jan. 12 was added later and ran its own presale on Aug. 12. All of those windows have closed. That makes a Lord Huron presale code irrelevant now. Codes only unlock the window before public sales begin, and that window has passed for every date on this run. Any offer still framed as a presale is worth treating with suspicion.
What Moves Ticket Prices
Four things push resale prices around on this run. Theaters hold fewer seats than the amphitheaters Lord Huron played over the summer, so supply per night is thin. With no opening act, every seat belongs to someone who came for Lord Huron alone. The multi-night cities put two or three dates on sale in the same room, each carrying its own listings. And the January leg falls in the first week of the year, when travel is part of the cost.
Listings change daily, so it is worth checking current TicketX promo codes before you check out.
Buying Without Surprises
Resale anxiety comes down to two questions: is the ticket real, and will it arrive in time. TicketX answers both in writing.
TicketX lists verified tickets with no hidden fees. Purchases are covered by the TicketX Buyer Guarantee, which provides a full refund in four situations:
Counterfeit or invalid tickets that do not admit you to the event
Late delivery, where tickets do not arrive within the stated timeframe
Event cancellation with no rescheduled date
Seller no-show, where the seller never transfers the tickets
Full terms govern each case. For the longer version, here is how our verified ticket process works.
With the night chosen and the protection understood, the last step is the seats:
Lord Huron Tour FAQ
Short answers to the questions people ask most about this run. Anything resting on live inventory, including availability and what a seat costs on a given night, moves too fast to fix in a sentence, so those answers describe the check to make.
What does "23 Nights at the Broken Bottle" mean?
It is the name of Lord Huron's 2026-2027 residency tour, and The Broken Bottle is a fictional desert bar from the band's own storytelling world. Each stage on the run is dressed as that bar. The full title, A Rambling Residency, splits the idea in two: the residency half is the multi-night stand the band books in several cities rather than the single night a normal routing would give, and the rambling half is that the production then packs up and drives to the next theater, which is what separates it from a single-venue Las Vegas-style residency. The name covers the run as a whole and fixes nothing about any one venue.
Who is touring with Lord Huron in 2026?
Nobody. There is no support act on this run. Every date was billed as An Evening With Lord Huron, an industry format meaning the headliner plays the entire evening alone. That phrase describes the billing, and the tour itself is called 23 Nights at the Broken Bottle: A Rambling Residency, which is why both names circulate in listings. One practical consequence follows: the start time printed on your ticket is when Lord Huron takes the stage, so there is no opener buffer if you are running late.
How much do Lord Huron tickets cost?
Prices depend on the night rather than on a single published rate. Four things move them: these are theaters with limited seating, there is no opening act so every seat is a Lord Huron seat, the multi-night cities put two or three dates on sale in the same room, and the January leg sits in the first week of the year. The way to answer this for your own date is to open the listings for that city and night and compare a couple of options.
Do Lord Huron concerts sell out?
Availability changes by the hour, so treat any blanket answer with caution. What can be said is factual: the venues on this run are mostly theaters rather than arenas or amphitheaters, so each night carries a limited number of seats, and Los Angeles added a third Wiltern date after the tour was first announced. Resale inventory moves in both directions as buyers release seats when plans change. Checking the specific date you want, more than once, gives a better read than any general statement.
Is Lord Huron playing Red Rocks or Phoenix on this tour?
No. Neither Red Rocks Amphitheatre nor Phoenix is on the 23 Nights at the Broken Bottle routing, and no additional cities have been announced as of August 2026, the only date added since the announcement is a third Los Angeles night. Lord Huron's June 2026 Colorado dates at Red Rocks and Fiddler's Green, and the summer 2026 North American tour supporting The Cosmic Selector Vol. 1, have already taken place, which is why those pages still rank in search results. No Colorado date appears on the schedule at all. For Phoenix-area listeners, the closest stop on this run is the Las Vegas date on Jan. 2, 2027.
