BAD SUNS ANNOUNCE SPRING 2026 HEADLINING TOUR IN SUPPORT OF NEW ALBUM ACCELERATOR
Bad Suns are gearing up for a busy year ahead. The Los Angeles indie pop-rock trio have announced a full spring 2026 U.S. headlining tour, celebrating the release of their latest studio album, Accelerator, which is out now and has quickly become one of their most acclaimed records to date. The announcement follows the group’s successful fall run and marks another significant step forward in a new era defined by renewed energy and artistic clarity.
The North American leg of the tour begins on March 27 in Boulder, Colorado, before moving through major cities across the Midwest, the East Coast, the South, and the Southwest. The run concludes on April 29 in Tucson, Arizona, totaling nearly a month of performances. Tickets go on sale Friday, December 19, at 10 a.m. local time, with a presale beginning two days earlier through the band’s official site.
Before returning to the States, Bad Suns will spend late winter touring across the UK and Europe. Their overseas dates begin on February 28 in Glasgow, with stops in Dublin, Manchester, London, Cologne, Antwerp, Amsterdam, Prague, Berlin, and Copenhagen. These shows will give international fans their first chance to experience Accelerator live, a record that has already been praised as the band’s strongest work since their early years.
Released in late summer, Accelerator represents a decade of evolution for Cristo Bowman, Gavin Bennett, and Miles Morris, who formed Bad Suns as teenagers in 2012. The album leans into dreamy textures, sharp hooks, and a sense of emotional reflection, signaling a band that has grown without losing the spark that first drew fans to them. Its lead single, “Communicating,” became a breakout success, reaching No. 19 on alternative rock radio and No. 24 on the Hot AC charts, further cementing the band’s continued relevance in the current alt-pop landscape.
Across both continents, the upcoming tour promises to showcase Bad Suns with a renewed sense of purpose. Their live shows have long been praised for their precision, atmosphere, and clarity of vision. Now, with Accelerator, they seem poised to deliver performances that reflect not only their past accomplishments but also their next steps.
