Lucinda Williams announces 31-date North American autumn tour
Developed over time first seen 4 months ago
Lucinda Williams has announced a 31-date North American headlining tour for autumn 2026 in support of her latest album, World's Gone Wrong. The tour matters because it gives the three-time Grammy winner a major run of headline dates across the US and Canada, following a separate string of late-July shows supporting Bob Dylan. It also includes a mix of standard performances and quieter, more intimate evenings under the billing “Ballads, Blues and more”.
The tour begins with two seated shows at Variety Playhouse in Atlanta on 24 and 25 September 2026 and is set to conclude with four shows in Minneapolis at Dakota. Other confirmed stops include Charlotte, Washington, North Adams, Woodstock, Portsmouth, Providence, Montreal, Toronto, Westbury, Charlottesville, Bristol, Denver, Dallas and Chicago, with some Chicago and Minneapolis dates using the quieter format. Artist pre-sale for some dates runs from 15 July at 10:00am local time until 17 July at 9:00am local time, with general sale for some shows opening on 17 July at 10:00am through Ticketmaster.

Explained simply
Lucinda Williams is an American singer-songwriter whose music draws on country, blues, rock and folk. She has built a long career around personal, often starkly written songs, and has won three Grammy Awards.
Her recent work includes World’s Gone Wrong, the album connected to these concerts. A headlining tour means Williams is the main performer, rather than appearing as a guest or support act for another musician.
The dates span venues in the United States and Canada, including some smaller seated shows. The “Ballads, Blues and more” billing suggests a quieter concert format focused on slower songs and blues material.
