Legendary guitarist Mike Campbell, best known for his decades of work with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, is hitting the road again with his band The Dirty Knobs for a new Summer 2026 U.S. tour.
The run of shows will begin July 7 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and will take the band across several cities in the Midwest and East Coast before concluding on July 24 in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
Campbell formed The Dirty Knobs after the death of Tom Petty in 2017, and the band has since released multiple albums while establishing a strong touring presence. Their lineup includes drummer Steve Ferrone, another former member of the Heartbreakers, alongside guitarist Chris Holt and bassist Lance Morrison.
The group has released several albums in recent years, including Wreckless Abandon (2020), External Combustion (2022), and Vagabonds, Virgins & Misfits (2024), continuing Campbell’s legacy as one of rock’s most respected guitarists and songwriters.
Tickets and Presales
An artist presale begins March 11, while general ticket sales start March 13, with additional information available through the band’s official website.
Additional 2026 Appearance
Later in the year, Campbell and the Dirty Knobs will also appear as an opening act for Chris Stapleton during the country star’s All-American Road Show, performing October 2 in Bristow, Virginia.
