Midwest emo icons American Football have officially announced a 2026 world tour. Kicking off this May, the band is returning to the road for an expansive 4-month run with dates across the United States, Canada, the UK, and Europe, with even more to be announced.
This marks American Football’s first full run of shows since 2024, signaling a new chapter for the band as they look ahead to 2026. The tour features support from 4 up-and-coming artists: Mei Semones, Marconi Union, IAN SWEET, and Afternoon Bike Ride.
In response to recent violence across the United States, American Football has also announced that they will partner with PLUS1 to donate a dollar from every ticket sold to Safe Passage International and The Illinois Coalition for Immigration & Refugee Rights. These two organizations are essential for defending immigrant rights and supporting deportees, migrants, and refugees.
Artist presale and VIP upgrades are now live. General on-sale will begin today, February 6, at 10 a.m. local time here.
VIP: Includes one (1) premium reserved ticket OR general admission ticket, VIP exclusive merch bundle curated, designed, and signed by American Football, 15% off merchandise coupon redeemable only at the show the ticket is purchased for, merchandise shopping opportunity before the show, and early entry into the venue.
