Grammy-winning Americana band Steep Canyon Rangers are officially set to get back on the road. The group has announced a 34-date tour that will span from August 2025 to March 2026, alongside the release of their new single, Next Act.
It will be Steep Canyon Rangers' first major run since the release of their live album Live at Greenfield Lake. The newly announced tour will begin on August 16, 2025, at the Gettysburg Bluegrass Festival and end with a special show with the Nashville Symphony on March 22, 2026, at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center in Nashville.
In between, they will hit a mix of festivals, theaters, and amphitheaters across the U.S., including select performances with Steve Martin and Martin Short, as well as multiple dates with full-band solo sets.
