Blues Traveler Extends 2026 Touring With Southern States, Red Rocks Stop

The John Popper-fronted Blues Traveler has added dates to its already busy 2026, with new shows in mostly Southern U.S. states to go along with a July 4 smash at Red Rocks in Colorado with Better Than Ezra and The Record Company. The year follows the 30th anniversary of the band’s breakthrough single “Run Around.”

Along with new dates (see below), which take place starting in early May, Blues Traveler will hit the road with GIn Blossoms for a 35-date co-headlining run that kicks off July 6 at Las Colonias Park, with special guest and fellow ’90s hit makers Spin Doctors.

Ticket onsales begin Friday, Feb. 27, at 10 a.m. local time.

“It’s rare when a package feels so much like home that it carries a spirit which becomes tangible to an audience,” John Popper said in the announcement. “That was the case — by all accounts — regarding our summer tour last year with Spin Doctors and Gin Blossoms. We grew up with Spin Doctors as pups in the same litter… ours is a shared origin story. But working with Gin Blossoms was a first. Their music was everywhere when we were coming up, and yet only last summer did we have the opportunity to learn how fun it is playing with them — and to discover how much energy our three bands put out in combination. So, we’ve decided to take this show everywhere we missed last year. We’re excited to bring it to you.”

Blues Traveler is represented by United Talent Agency.
