Rock Band American Football Maps 2026 Global Tour

Midwest emo band American Football is embarking on a global tour this year with shows across the U.S., U.K., Canada and Europe.

It’s the band’s first trek since 2024, when the quartet celebrated the 25^th anniversary of its eponymous debut.

American Football kicks off its 2026 tour May 15 at Summit Music Hall in Denver, and the band will be visiting venues such as Portland’s Crystal Ballroom, the Wiltern in Los Angeles, Alcatraz in Milan, London’s O2 Academy, Brooklyn Paramount in New York, D.C.’s 9:30 Club, Concert Hall in Toronto and The Salt Shed in Chicago before wrapping up at First Avenue in Minneapolis Aug. 16.

Additional dates will be announced, according to a release, and supporting acts on select dates include Mei Semones, Marconi Union, IAN SWEET and Afternoon Bike Ride.

In response to the violence and intimidation provoked by ICE throughout the country, the band is partnering with PLUS1 to donate $1 or €1 of every ticket sold to Safe Passage International & The Illinois Coalition for Immigration & Refugee Rights—two organizations that support deportees, migrants and refugees and defend immigrant rights.

The artist presale and VIP upgrades began today, and the general onsale begins Feb. 6 at 10 a.m. local time. Visit american-football.ffm.to/tour for more information.

American Football had a successful two-night stand last May at The Neptune in Seattle, grossing $80,724 off 2,000 tickets sold across both nights, according to Pollstar Boxoffice.

The band is booked by TBA Agency’s Ryan Craven in North America and by X-ray Touring in the U.K. and Europe.
