’80s hard-rock veterans Winger are rolling full steam into 2026 with a fresh slate of tour dates, bringing their high-energy riff-driven rock to audiences across North America and beyond. The band — led by singer/guitarist Kip Winger and featuring longtime members Rod Morgenstein, Reb Beach and John Roth — is reaffirming its status as one of the era’s most enduring live acts.
Although Winger is often associated with the glam-tinged hard rock scene of the late ’80s and early ’90s, the group has continued to build momentum in recent years with consistent touring, festival appearances, and a fan base that spans generations. The 2026 run promises a mix of nostalgic favorites and deeper cuts that showcase both the band’s musicianship and their underrated catalog of songs.
The newly announced dates follow a busy 2025 schedule and are strategically spaced to give fans across the United States and Canada ample opportunity to catch the band live. Many of the shows are standalone U.S. headline dates, while others will be paired with festival stops and special events, offering a range of concert experiences for ticket holders.
In past years, Winger’s live set lists have balanced beloved classics such as Seventeen, Headed for a Heartbreak and Miles Away with powerful newer material, illustrating the band’s growth beyond its ’80s origins. Guitarist Reb Beach in particular has been celebrated for his commanding presence and technical flair, often delivering extended solo segments that keep longtime fans and new listeners equally engaged.
One noteworthy aspect of Winger’s ongoing touring is how active the band remains more than three decades into their career. Where many of their peers have slowed down or chosen nostalgia-only programming, Winger continues to treat each show like a full-on rock performance — sharp, spirited and unrestrained.
While specific dates and venues were announced in phases, fans can expect the 2026 tour to include both large-room theaters and mid-size venues, hitting key markets across the country. Tickets for many dates went on sale shortly after the announcement, and demand has been strong, particularly from fans who have followed the band since its breakout years.
In addition to standard ticket packages, VIP and meet-and-greet options are available at select stops, giving fans a chance to interact with members of the band and hear stories behind some of their most iconic songs.
Whether you’re a fan who grew up with Winger’s first wave of hits or someone who discovered them later through classic rock circuits and streaming playlists, the 2026 shows look set to be celebrations of musicianship and rock ’n’ roll energy.
As they prepare for this next leg of touring, Winger remains focused on giving fans an experience that’s both nostalgic and fresh — a reminder that great rock music doesn’t just belong to the past, but lives on in every note played live.
