Gary Clark Jr. Reveals Extensive Summer and Fall 2026 U.S. Tour Dates

Grammy Award-winning artist, songwriter, producer and renowned guitarist Gary Clark Jr. announced an extensive run of U.S. headline dates through the summer and into October.

The new tour dates add to an already packed 2026 that includes the sold-out second half of his Antone’s residency in Austin and festivals including Newport Jazz, Bourbon & Beyond and Eric Clapton’s Crossroads, among others.

Local venue presale begins June 4 at 10:00 AM local time, and general on-sale launches June 5 at 10:00 AM local time. Tickets for Mercury Lounge/NYC Pop-Up show are on sale now.

It’s a busy on-sale week for the Texas guitar slinger. Clark plays New York City’s 250-cap Mercury Lounge on June 3 before embarking on a series of previously announced appearances. On June 4 and 5, Clark will join Bruce Springsteen for a multi-act concert event celebrating America’s 250th birthday called “Music America: The Songs That Shaped Us.” The event will take place at the OceanFirst Bank Center on the campus of the new Bruce Springsteen Center for American Music.

The new shows pick up in Dallas on Aug. 27 ahead of his Aug. 29 performance at the Buddy Guy Blues Festival in The Woodlands, Texas. From there, Clark hits a broad swath of major markets including New Orleans, Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit, Denver, Seattle and Los Angeles among others.

Landing in the middle of that stretch is Clapton’s Crossroads Guitar Festival (Sept. 26–27), which this year will take place in Austin, Clark’s hometown. Last month, Clark kicked off his eight-show residency at Antone’s, the iconic blues club where he got his start at the age of 15. Clark is now a partner and co-owner of the legendary club and Austin’s Home of the Blues
