Brandi Carlile adds more "Human Tour" North American shows: Dates, openers and tickets

Few artists command a room or a 10,000-seat amphitheater quite like Brandi Carlile. Recently honored as one of TIME Magazine's 2026 Women of the Year and fresh off performing "America the Beautiful" at Super Bowl LX, the eleven-time Grammy winner has just announced new North American dates for the second leg of "The Human Tour," and the venue lineup alone is worth getting excited about.

The new leg stretches from August 13 through September 22 and leans into a great mix of settings: big-city arenas, scenic amphitheaters and a headline-grabbing three-night stand at Red Rocks Amphitheatre. It also arrives with strong momentum behind it. Carlile’s latest solo album, "Returning to Myself," was released in October 2025 and debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard 200, while her February Minneapolis benefit show raised over $600,000 for The Advocates for Human Rights.

Who is opening for Brandi Carlile on the added tour dates?

Unlike Part 1, which featured The Head and the Heart as the sole opener for every date, the second leg brings a rotating cast of six supporting acts:

• Jensen McRae: Portland, ME; Uncasville, CT; Bethel, NY

• I'm With Her: Canandaigua, NY; Rochester Hills, MI; Grand Rapids, MI; Madison, WI

• Gregory Alan Isakov: Nashville, TN

• The Head and the Heart: Charlotte, NC; Duluth, GA; Fort Worth, TX; Austin, TX

• Stephen Wilson Jr.: Morrison, CO

• CMAT: Vancouver, BC; Stanford, CA; Santa Barbara, CA; San Diego, CA

Each opener brings a distinct sound that complements Carlile's Americana and folk-rock foundation. The experience will feel different depending on which date you attend — from I'm With Her's intricate harmonies in the Midwest to CMAT's irreverent energy closing out the West Coast run.

What to expect at a Brandi Carlile show

If you've never seen Carlile live, this is the kind of performance that recalibrates what you think a concert can be. The Boston Herald praised the Part 1 run for "Brandi's unmistakable vocal delivery with a towering band, her strange and perfect songs done with all the drama they deserve."

The setlist draws heavily from "Returning to Myself" — her first solo project in four years — while weaving in fan favorites, deep cuts and the occasional cover. The emotional arc builds deliberately from start to finish, with crowd singalongs, raw vocal peaks and a communal atmosphere that fans consistently describe as unlike anything else on the touring circuit.

Arrive early to catch the opener and check out the merch table before the show. Encores at Carlile shows tend to bring the house down, so plan to stay through the final note.
