Highlights include Libbey Bowl in Ojai (September 19\u201320), the historic Malkin Bowl in Vancouver\u2019s Stanley Park (September 24, doors at 6:00 PM), paired Jubilee Auditorium dates in Calgary and Edmonton (September 28\u201329), and Red Rocks Amphitheatre on October 6 (doors at 6:30 PM). The October 7 Ogden Amphitheater show closes the run as part of Ogden Twilight 2026. No support act has been announced for this leg as of publication. All 13 bookable dates in this run appear with direct ticket links in the section above.<\/p>\n<h3>2. How To Tell The 2025 And 2026 Runs Apart<\/h3>\n<p>The 2025 North American dates formed a brief November run in Texas (Wimberley and Houston) that led into the 2026 European spring leg. The 2026 North American shows divide into two sub-legs: the August 2\u201319 run with Ben LaMar Gay across the Midwest and Northeast, and the September\u2013October run through the Southwest, Pacific Northwest, Canadian Prairies, and Mountain West. Any date listed before December 2025 belongs to the 2025 leg. Any date from August 2026 onward belongs to the 2026 legs.<\/p>\n<h2>What To Expect At A Big Thief Show<\/h2>\n<h3>Support Acts On The Somersault Slide 360 Tour<\/h3>\n<p>Ben LaMar Gay, a Southside Chicago native, cornetist, and 2026 United States Artists Fellowship Award recipient, supported all 12 August 2026 North American dates. His live show with his quartet features hand-bell improvisation, a cappella call-and-response vocals, and a cascading hand-bell melody played in formation by three of the four musicians, anchored by drummer Tommaso Moretti and tuba player Matthew Davis. His album <em>Yowzers<\/em>, released via International Anthem in June 2025, was described by Wire Magazine as \u201cGay\u2019s most cohesive work to date\u201d. No support act has been announced for the September\u2013October 2026 leg.<\/p>\n<h3>Typical Big Thief Concert Length<\/h3>\n<p>Setlist.fm calculates the Somersault Slide 360 Tour average at 1 hour 57 minutes of show length, with an average start time of 2 hours 19 minutes after doors. The B-K Stockholm listing scheduled a 2.5-hour headline set from 8:30\u201311:00 PM, though the performance ran from 8:40 PM to 10:20 PM. A Go Venue Magazine review of the August 17 Des Moines show described the set as nearly two hours. Fans can plan for roughly two hours of music, with Big Thief usually taking the stage about two hours after doors.<\/p>\n<h3>Setlist Shape And Song Rotation<\/h3>\n<p>Big Thief changes the setlist every night. The April 8, 2026 Oslo show opened with the live debut of Adrianne Lenker\u2019s new song \u201cWhat I Only Dream Of\u201d (later titled \u201cCruel and Beautiful World\u201d) and closed with \u201cChange\u201d and \u201cSpud Infinity.\u201d The August 17 Des Moines set spanned 20 songs, opening with a cover of Vic Chesnutt\u2019s \u201cGod is Good\u201d and including \u201cRock and Sing,\u201d \u201cBorn for Loving You,\u201d \u201cSadness as a Gift,\u201d \u201cSimulation Swarm,\u201d \u201cVampire Empire,\u201d and \u201cMasterpiece,\u201d before an encore of \u201cMasterpiece\u201d and \u201cIncomprehensible.\u201d The band has tagged 67 setlists under the Somersault Slide 360 Tour on Setlist.fm, reflecting the breadth of the run.<\/p>\n<h2>Additional Context On Big Thief And Double Infinity<\/h2>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noindex nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Big_Thief\">As of 2024, Big Thief consists of vocalist-guitarist Adrianne Lenker, guitarist Buck Meek, and drummer James Krivchenia, after founding bassist Max Oleartchik left the band in June 2024<\/a>. Touring bassist Joshua Crumbly, who is credited for bass on the band\u2019s album <em>Double Infinity<\/em>, joined for the Somersault Slide 360 Tour. The album was recorded live over three weeks at New York\u2019s Power Station with producer Dom Monks. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noindex nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Double_Infinity\">Four tracks from <em>Double Infinity<\/em> \u2014 \u201cIncomprehensible,\u201d \u201cAll Night All Day,\u201d and the paired \u201cLos Angeles\u201d \/ \u201cGrandmother\u201d \u2014 were released as singles ahead of the album\u2019s September 5, 2025 release date<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Big Thief partnered with PLUS1 for the Somersault Slide 360 Tour, with $1 from every ticket supporting efforts to safeguard people experiencing homelessness and to break cycles of homelessness and poverty.<\/p>\n<p>For more emerging artists and tour stories, explore <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/onestowatch.com\/en\/blog\/the-top-30-artists-to-watch-in-2026\">OnesToWatch\u2019s 2026 Top 30 Artists To Watch<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Patterns, Themes, And Tour Takeaways<\/h2>\n<p>The Somersault Slide 360 Tour follows a deliberate multi-year arc: a brief 2025 Texas run, a spring 2026 European sweep, a sold-out-heavy August North American run, and a fall routing through smaller and mid-size markets alongside marquee outdoor amphitheaters. The August pattern, with five of 12 dates selling out in advance plus strong demand at venues like Chicago\u2019s Salt Shed, signals continued interest heading into the September\u2013October leg. Venue choices shift from seated theaters such as Ryman Auditorium and the Jubilee Auditoriums to outdoor amphitheaters like Red Rocks, Malkin Bowl, and Libbey Bowl, along with farm settings such as Remlinger Farms, giving the tour a varied feel. The 2025 and August 2026 dates have already passed. The September\u2013October 2026 shows are the only Somersault Slide 360 Tour dates still on sale.<\/p>\n<h2>Practical Reader Guidance For Remaining Dates<\/h2>\n<p>All 13 September\u2013October 2026 dates with direct Ticketmaster links appear at the top of this page. For two-night stands such as Ojai on September 19 and 20, the venue stays the same while the setlist changes, since the band rotates songs nightly. Most remaining dates follow a similar schedule: Malkin Bowl in Vancouver, Knitting Factory Spokane, and KettleHouse Amphitheater in Bonner all list doors at 6:00 PM with an estimated 8:19 PM start. Red Rocks runs slightly later, with doors at 6:30 PM and an estimated 8:49 PM start. Earlier legs sold out quickly, so booking early is the safest way to secure tickets for these final shows.<\/p>\n<p>Discover your next favorite artist and the stories behind their rise by exploring <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.onestowatch.com\/\">OnesToWatch<\/a> for in-depth coverage on the future of music.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<h3>What Are All The Dates On Big Thief&#8217;s Somersault Slide 360 Tour?<\/h3>\n<p>The Somersault Slide 360 Tour spans multiple legs across 2025 and 2026. The 2025 North American leg included November dates in Wimberley and Houston, TX. The 2026 European leg ran through April in Oslo, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Berlin, Cologne, and Amsterdam. Big Thief\u2019s 2026 North American leg began August 2 in Burlington, VT, and included a stop in Bentonville, AR on August 19, followed by a two-night stand at Nashville\u2019s Ryman Auditorium on August 22\u201323. The current September\u2013October 2026 leg runs from Phoenix, AZ on September 17 through Ogden, UT on October 7, with stops in Ojai (two nights), Reno, Vancouver, Carnation, Spokane, Calgary, Edmonton, Bonner, Bozeman, and Red Rocks. A September 16 show at The Santa Fe Opera appears in broader tour listings.<\/p>\n<h3>Who Is Opening For Big Thief On The Somersault Slide 360 Tour?<\/h3>\n<p>Chicago cornetist and composer Ben LaMar Gay served as support for all 12 dates on the August 2\u201319, 2026 North American run. His live show features hand-bell improvisation, a cappella call-and-response vocals, and a brass-driven rhythm section. No support act has been announced for the September\u2013October 2026 leg as of publication.<\/p>\n<h3>How Long Is A Big Thief Concert On The Somersault Slide 360 Tour?<\/h3>\n<p>The average Somersault Slide 360 Tour performance runs just under two hours of music, with the band typically taking the stage about two hours after doors open. On the Somersault Slide 360 Tour, Big Thief typically plays about 17\u201320 songs per night, and 46 of the 51 counted setlists included an encore.<\/p>\n<h3>What Is The Difference Between The 2025 And 2026 Legs Of The Tour?<\/h3>\n<p>The 2025 leg was a brief two-date Texas run in November (Wimberley and Houston) that preceded the European spring dates. The 2026 legs are substantially larger, with a spring European run in April, a 12-show August North American run with Ben LaMar Gay, a Nashville two-night stand, and the current September\u2013October North American run through the Southwest, Pacific Northwest, Canadian Prairies, and Mountain West. The 2025 and August 2026 dates have already passed. The September\u2013October 2026 dates are the only Somersault Slide 360 Tour shows still bookable.<\/p>\n<h3>What Songs Does Big Thief Play On The Somersault Slide 360 Tour?<\/h3>\n<p>The band rotates its setlist nightly, drawing from across its catalog and from <em>Double Infinity<\/em>. According to setlist.fm\u2019s Somersault Slide 360 Tour statistics, recurring songs across Big Thief\u2019s documented shows on that tour include \u201cSimulation Swarm,\u201d \u201cVampire Empire,\u201d \u201cShark Smile,\u201d \u201cMasterpiece,\u201d \u201cSpud Infinity,\u201d and \u201cNot\u201d, alongside newer material such as \u201cIncomprehensible,\u201d \u201cChristmas Day,\u201d and \u201cCruel and Beautiful World.\u201d Adrianne Lenker also performs solo acoustic pieces within the set. As the setlist data shows, the band rotates songs nightly, so no two shows are identical.<\/p>\n<h2>Read Next<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/resources.onestowatch.com\/snail-mail-tour-dates\">Snail Mail 2026 Tour Dates, Tickets &amp; Full Schedule<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/resources.onestowatch.com\/swmrs-full-tour-dates\">SWMRS 2026 Tour Dates: Full Schedule, Venues &amp; Support Acts<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/resources.onestowatch.com\/snow-strippers-tour-dates\">Snow Strippers 2026\u20132027 Tour Dates: Full Schedule &amp; Tickets<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/resources.onestowatch.com\/fontaines-dc-tour-dates\">Fontaines D.C. 2026\u20132027 Tour Dates &amp; Tickets<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/resources.onestowatch.com\/greek-live-tour-dates\">Greek Live 2026 Tour: Dates, Tickets &amp; Venues<\/a><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Find Big Thief Somersault Slide 360 Tour tickets, dates &amp; setlists for 2026.
