Classic rock fans can gear up for a major global event in 2026, as six legendary acts join forces for a large-scale touring package anchored by Jefferson Starship’s “Runaway Again 2026 Tour.” This ambitious run will sweep through North America before heading to the UK and Europe, bringing together a lineup that blends arena rock, Southern rock, folk-rock, and the psychedelic legacy that helped define an era.
The core U.S. tour features Jefferson Starship alongside Atlanta Rhythm Section, Firefall and Orleans, with The Marshall Tucker Band joining select dates. Once the American leg wraps, Foreigner steps in as the main support act for the European shows, creating a powerhouse pairing that fans have already called “amazing,” “unexpected,” and “long overdue.”
Each act adds its own chapter of rock history to the bill. Foreigner brings its unmistakable anthems and huge cross-generational appeal, while The Marshall Tucker Band delivers the timeless Southern rock grit that made them staples of the 1970s road scene. Jefferson Starship stands at the center of the tour, continuing a six-decade legacy rooted in San Francisco’s psychedelic movement. Atlanta Rhythm Section, Firefall and Orleans complete the lineup with smooth Southern, West Coast folk-rock and polished ’70s pop-rock melodies.
The routing begins December 29, 2025, at FireKeepers Casino in Battle Creek, Michigan, and the tour continues through early 2026 with widespread U.S. dates across Pennsylvania, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, California, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Indiana. The tour then crosses the Atlantic in June for high-profile shows in Manchester and London, plus major German stops in Munich and Leipzig. Summer U.S. dates resume in July, with more confirmed venues across Ohio, Michigan and Minnesota. Additional stops are expected as the schedule finalizes, with general ticket sales opening December 12, 2025.
The excitement surrounding the Runaway Again 2026 Tour extends beyond nostalgia. Fans see it as a celebration of decades of rock traditions presented in a multi-genre package that spans generations. On social media, longtime listeners have praised the lineup’s diversity and expressed hope that the tour will expand to more cities. The combination of Foreigner’s massive choruses, The Marshall Tucker Band’s soulful energy, and Jefferson Starship’s enduring legacy makes this one of the most anticipated classic-rock tours of the coming year.
As the schedule continues to grow, the Runaway Again 2026 Tour is already shaping up to be a landmark event for classic-rock fans worldwide.
