The Avett Brothers & Mike Patton 2026 Tour Announcement – AVTT/PTTN Tour Schedule
The Avett Brothers and Mike Patton are hitting the road together on the “AVTT/PTTN Tour,” named for their just-released debut album together. And when you pick up your jaw off the floor, you’ll definitely want to grab tickets to this unexpected, but super-exciting set of shows. They’ll begin on March 28th in Knoxville, TN, stopping in Chattanooga, TN, Columbia, SC, San Diego, CA, and more before concluding on June 20th in Waukegan, IL.
This is a musical crossover we never saw coming, but we aren’t mad about it…even one bit. It starts with metal and funk (thanks, Patton!) and collides with the folk rock influence of The Avett Brothers to bring you a show that’s half acoustic moments and half mosh pits. Expect to hear all the new tunes off their debut collaborative record, including “Dark Night of My Soul,” “The Things I Do,” and “Heaven’s Breath.”
The roots of this project go back further than most realize. The Avett Brothers have openly cited Patton as a formative influence since their teens — long before festival headlines and Grammy nominations — and they speak about him more like a mentor than a musical peer. “Mike’s part of our DNA, like the fabric of our youth. Literally, we studied him,” Scott Avett said when announcing the tour. Patton’s response? Classic. “My peculiar challenge in this was to become a long-distant cousin… maybe they kept him in the chicken coop or something.”
AVTT/PTTN, which dropped this month, was produced by Patton, Scott Avett, and Grammy-winning engineer Dana Nielsen. Packed with banjo-driven folk, luxe vocal layering, unexpected chord turns and moments of reckoning that only Patton can deliver, it’s a beautifully chaotic nod to both of their discographies. A record that will make you think of both artists in a brand new light.
You know those celebrity friendships that feel strange, but somehow still work? That’s kinda how this collaboration feels. The Avett Brothers have spent 20+ years refining a sound built on heart-on-sleeve songwriting, harmonies, and emotional rawness. Mike Patton, on the other hand, has spent 35 years doing the exact opposite — gleefully tearing the walls off every genre he touches, from metal to jazz to avant-pop. Together, they’ve found a middle space that surprises in all the right ways.
Expect an evening that doesn’t follow a traditional setlist arc. AVTT/PTTN shows are rumored to blend new songs with stripped-back Avett Brothers staples, experimental Patton-led interludes, and collaborative reworks of older material. It’s the kind of tour where no two nights will be the same, and that’s exactly the point. Get your verified resale tickets now.
