The Black Crowes will play at Dos Equis Pavilion in Dallas on August 9, 2026.

Rock band The Black Crowes will embark on the massive Southern Hospitality Tour in 2026, which will include a stop at Dos Equis Pavilion in Dallas on Sunday, August 9.

While the majority of the tour will feature the group - led by brothers Chris and Rich Robinson - co-headlining with Texas rock band Whiskey Myers, the Black Crowes will be the sole headliner in Dallas, joined by opening act Southall.

The 41-city tour will kick off in Austin on May 17, the first of 36 cities to feature Whiskey Myers. In fact, Dallas will be the only Texas date not to include Whiskey Myers, as they'll also appear at the August 8 date in Houston suburb The Woodlands.

The Black Crowes celebrated their 40th anniversary in 2024, having formed in Atlanta, Georgia in 1984. They wouldn't release their first album until Shake Your Money Maker in 1990.

Their first two albums - The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion followed in 1992 - made them a staple of early '90s music thanks to hits like "Hard to Handle," "She Talks to Angels," "Remedy," and more.

After one hiatus and one "breakup," the Black Crowes have been back together since 2019. This tour will be in support of their new album, A Pound of Feathers, set for release on March 13.

Tickets for the tour will be available starting with an artist presale on Tuesday, February 3 at 12 pm; fans can sign up for the presale at theblackcrowes.com. Fans who sign up for the artist presale will unlock an exclusive new recording.

Additional presales will follow, including a Citi presale and Mastercard presale beginning on Tuesday, February 3 at 12 pm.

The general on-sale begins on Friday, February 6 at 10 am at LiveNation.com.
