Brandi Carlile Releases Album, Announces 2026 Human Tour

Brandi Carlile has released Returning to Myself, her first solo album in four years, produced by Andrew Watt with contributions from Aaron Dessner and Justin Vernon. She announced the 2026 “Human Tour” two days before the album's release, scheduling North American arena dates in February–March and a European leg for the fall. Planned North American stops include Madison Square Garden, the Kia Forum and a Feb. 21 show at Minneapolis’ Target Center; Target Center tickets go on sale Oct. 31 via AXS, with American Express, Bramily and album-preorder presales in some markets. Carlile will bring longtime collaborators Phil and Tim Hanseroth onstage, and The Head and the Heart are set to open the Minneapolis date. A 26-time Grammy nominee with 11 wins, Carlile has been previewing songs through streams and performances as she promotes the record and tour.
