Phoebe Bridgers Tour 2026

Inside Phoebe Bridgers

Phoebe Bridgers is the Los Angeles indie-folk and indie-rock songwriter whose discography has, across two solo records and two collaborative projects, become the central reference point for confessional, melodic, slowcore-adjacent songwriting in the streaming era — a body of work that landed her four Grammy nominations on the back of her second album 'Punisher' (2020) and a Grammy Best Alternative Music Album win as one third of boygenius with Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker for 'the record' (2023). Born in Pasadena, California in 1994 and raised in the suburbs east of Los Angeles, Phoebe Bridgers learned guitar through middle school, busked through the Pasadena farmer's market as a teenager, and worked the Los Angeles open-mic and house-show circuit before Ryan Adams signed her to his label and released the 'Killer' EP in 2015. Dead Oceans Records signed her on the strength of that early catalogue, and her debut album 'Stranger in the Alps' (2017) — featuring 'Motion Sickness', 'Smoke Signals', 'Funeral' and 'Scott Street' — established the template: meticulously fingerpicked acoustic guitars, hushed-to-cathartic vocals, sleeper-bus imagery, and lyrics that turned grief, romantic disaster and the texture of late-night California into something that felt structurally inevitable. The follow-up 'Punisher' arrived in June 2020 and turned Phoebe Bridgers into a generational artist — 'Kyoto', 'I Know the End', 'Garden Song', 'Chinese Satellite', 'Savior Complex' and the title track became the live-set anchors of a touring cycle that scaled from indie clubs to outdoor amphitheaters and arena support slots within a single record cycle. Alongside the solo work, two collaborative projects sit at the same level of importance: Better Oblivion Community Center, the indie-rock duo with Conor Oberst of Bright Eyes that released its self-titled debut in 2019, and boygenius, the trio with Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker whose self-titled EP (2018) and full-length 'the record' (2023) earned six Grammy nominations and three wins. Phoebe Bridgers also founded the Dead Oceans imprint Saddest Factory Records, which has signed Claud, MUNA, Charlie Hickey, Sloppy Jane and others. Live, the Phoebe Bridgers headline show has moved from the 200-cap room tier through the theatres into outdoor amphitheaters and arenas, with a Coachella main-stage performance in the post-'Punisher' cycle and extensive routing through London, Toronto, New York, Los Angeles, Manchester, Chicago, Boston and the major European festival circuit. This page is the working guide to who Phoebe Bridgers is, what the live show actually delivers, how the ticketing tends to behave, and which rooms keep showing up on her routing.

About Phoebe Bridgers

Phoebe Lucille Bridgers was born on 17 August 1994 in Pasadena, California, and grew up in the suburbs of Los Angeles, attending the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts where she studied vocal music alongside future collaborators and contemporaries on the city's indie-folk scene. She picked up guitar in middle school, began writing songs as a teenager, and built her first audience busking through the Pasadena farmer's market and the Old Town Pasadena open-mic and coffee-shop circuit before turning eighteen. The first studio session that drew industry attention came when Ryan Adams' PaxAm Singles series cut her track 'Killer' to a 7-inch vinyl in 2015, which led to the four-song 'Killer' EP and a development deal that brought her into contact with manager Hannah Carlen and the broader indie-rock infrastructure in Los Angeles. Dead Oceans Records — the Secretly Group label home to Mitski, Bright Eyes and Khruangbin — signed her on the strength of the demos and released 'Stranger in the Alps' in September 2017 to broad critical praise from Pitchfork, NPR, The New York Times, The Guardian and Stereogum, with the singles 'Motion Sickness' (a song widely understood as a response to her relationship with Ryan Adams, before the broader 2019 reporting that confirmed her account), 'Smoke Signals', 'Funeral' and 'Scott Street' carrying the record onto end-of-year lists across the indie press. The follow-up arrived in two steps: in 2018 Phoebe Bridgers joined Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker to form boygenius, releasing a self-titled six-song EP that immediately became one of the most-discussed indie releases of the year, and in 2019 she teamed up with Conor Oberst as Better Oblivion Community Center, releasing the duo's self-titled debut in January 2019 followed by a co-headline tour that ran through the spring of that year. Her own second solo album 'Punisher', released on 18 June 2020 — initially intended for 19 June, the date moved forward by Phoebe Bridgers herself in solidarity with Juneteenth — became the defining record of the year for a generation of listeners. 'Kyoto', 'I Know the End', 'Garden Song', 'Chinese Satellite', 'Savior Complex', the title track, and 'Moon Song' built a body of singles that scaled cleanly from the bedroom-headphones context to outdoor amphitheaters, and the record drew four Grammy nominations including Best New Artist, Best Alternative Music Album, Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song. Across the same period Phoebe Bridgers founded Saddest Factory Records as a Dead Oceans imprint and signed Claud, MUNA, Charlie Hickey, Sloppy Jane and others, building a label aesthetic that mirrored her own writing palette. boygenius reconvened for the full-length 'the record', released on 31 March 2023 to widespread critical acclaim — Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, NPR and The Guardian all carried full-length five-star or near-five-star reviews — and the trio's subsequent world tour played arenas and amphitheaters across North America, the UK and Europe through 2023 and into 2024, with 'Not Strong Enough', 'Cool About It', 'True Blue' and '$20' becoming the standout cuts. 'the record' won Best Alternative Music Album, Best Rock Performance (for 'Not Strong Enough') and Best Rock Song (for 'Not Strong Enough') at the 66th Grammy Awards in February 2024. Phoebe Bridgers is also a prolific guest collaborator — features on Taylor Swift's re-recorded 'Nothing New', The 1975's 'Jesus Christ 2005 God Bless America', Charli XCX cuts, Lord Huron's 'The Night We Met' (the song that returned to the charts after the second season of '13 Reasons Why' included her duet version), and dozens of other songwriter cameos sit on her catalogue. The live show, across all three project banners, anchors on the same musicians: a touring band built around her core collaborators on guitar, keys, bass, drums and strings, dressed historically in the white skeleton suits that became the visual signature of the 'Punisher' touring cycle.

Phoebe Bridgers tour dates

Phoebe Bridgers tours a routing that spans theatres, outdoor amphitheaters and arenas depending on whether she is on a solo cycle, a Better Oblivion Community Center run or a boygenius leg. Solo headline cycles typically anchor in London at the O2 Brixton Academy (4,900 cap), Eventim Apollo / Hammersmith Apollo (5,000 cap), the Roundhouse (3,300 cap) and Alexandra Palace (10,000 cap), with the O2 Arena (20,000 cap) in reach on the upper end. North American legs at the post-'Punisher' tier route through Radio City Music Hall (6,000 cap, New York), the Greek Theatre in Berkeley and the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, the Hollywood Bowl on the largest dates, Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Forest Hills Stadium in Queens, and the Anthem in Washington. Canadian dates have anchored at Massey Hall (2,700 cap) and Budweiser Stage (16,000 cap) in Toronto. The boygenius cycle moved the same routing up a tier into arenas and the Hollywood Bowl with multiple-night runs. A working Phoebe Bridgers solo headline set runs roughly 80 to 95 minutes including a one- or two-song encore, with a single support act typically pulled from the Saddest Factory roster or an adjacent indie-folk songwriter. Festival summers are central — Coachella main-stage in the post-'Punisher' cycle, Glastonbury, Primavera Sound, Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, Bonnaroo, Newport Folk Festival, All Points East, End of the Road, Pitchfork Festival, Field Day and Latitude have all carried Phoebe Bridgers at one cycle or another. Selected guest appearances and one-off dates — Newport Folk Festival's all-star nights, the Saturday Night Live debut performance, the Tonight Show, and Late Night — round out a live profile that has been almost continuously active since 2017.

Phoebe Bridgers tickets

Phoebe Bridgers shows at the current touring tier move through the standard primary channels — Ticketmaster (UK, North America and international affiliates), AXS for selected UK and US venues, See Tickets and Dice for the smaller UK rooms, Ticketmaster Canada in Toronto and Vancouver, and the venue box office for the independent theatres and amphitheaters. Presales typically run a day or two ahead of the public onsale through the Dead Oceans and Saddest Factory mailing lists, a verified-fan presale where Ticketmaster's system is in play, the O2 Priority window in the UK, American Express partner presales in North America, and the Phoebe Bridgers official mailing-list presale. Face value at the theatre tier usually sits in the rough range of £40 to £80 for standing and seated tickets in the UK and US$60 to US$130 in North America, with VIP packages — early entry, soundcheck access, exclusive merch and a signed lithograph on some cycles — running £150 to £300 or US$200 to US$450 depending on tour and venue. Headline shows in London, New York, Los Angeles and Toronto have a habit of selling out the same morning of onsale; the boygenius cycle in particular cleared multiple-night arena runs within minutes and the Phoebe Bridgers solo cycle continues to behave the same way at the theatre tier. Secondary inventory turns up quickly on StubHub, Twickets, SeatGeek and Viagogo, usually at a meaningful premium — boygenius arena dates and Phoebe Bridgers Radio City Music Hall, Hollywood Bowl and Red Rocks shows have historically resold at multiples of face value. Always cross-check the seat location against the venue chart before paying a resale markup, and prefer Twickets for face-value transfers where the listing exists. Phoebe Bridgers has been publicly outspoken about resale markups and the tour cycles often include explicit anti-scalping language and ticket-cap policies on the official channels.

Phoebe Bridgers setlist

A Phoebe Bridgers solo headline set at the current touring tier runs roughly 80 to 95 minutes and the running order has settled into a recognisable shape: a guitar-forward opener — historically 'Motion Sickness' or 'Garden Song' depending on the cycle — that establishes the band, a centre-of-set run through the 'Punisher' material with 'Kyoto', 'Chinese Satellite', 'Savior Complex' and the title track clustered together, an acoustic or stripped-back moment that puts one of the quieter songs ('Funeral', 'Smoke Signals', 'Scott Street' or 'Moon Song') on a single guitar or piano, and the cathartic closing run that anchors on 'I Know the End' — the song that ends in the full-band scream that has become the visual and sonic signature of the Phoebe Bridgers live show. Encores typically include a Better Oblivion Community Center or boygenius song depending on the cycle, with 'Graceland Too' or 'Salt in the Wound' as recurring choices, and the show closes on 'Waiting Room' or 'I Know the End' on most nights. The touring band — built around her long-standing collaborators on guitar, keys, bass, drums and strings — wear the white skeleton suits that became the 'Punisher' cycle's visual identity on the larger nights. Exact running order shifts night to night, with the occasional cover (a Tom Petty, Bo Burnham, Mark Kozelek or Sufjan Stevens song has all turned up at one cycle or another), unreleased song or extended band feature dropped in on a given date.
