Silversun Pickups will take their new album Tenterhooks on a 28-city North American run in spring 2027, playing clubs and theatres rather than arenas. The Los Angeles band opens February 26 at Stubb's Waller Creek Amphitheater in Austin, Texas, and wraps May 22 at The Wiltern in Los Angeles, with Canadian shows in Toronto on March 13 and Vancouver on May 11. Tickets go on sale to the public Friday, November 13, at 10 a.m. local time, after presales that open two days earlier.

Why you should go

  • The set list draws on a new record. Tenterhooks is the band's seventh album, and the singles "The Wreckage" and "New Wave" are already in the live show, according to foro3d.
  • The rooms are small on purpose. After an arena tour opening for Weezer, the band is back in clubs and theatres, where the audience is closer to the stage.
  • Hannah Cole opens every date, giving ticket holders a full night of music.
  • VIP buyers get extras. The soundcheck package adds early entry, a pre-show soundcheck with songs left out of the main set, a Q&A with the band, a vinyl copy of Tenterhooks and an autographed laminate.
  • Festival-goers can catch them at Salt Lake City's Kilby Block Party on May 14.

How the dates are arranged

The tour splits into two legs. The first runs through Texas, the South, the East Coast and the Midwest, ending March 17 in Minneapolis. The second begins May 5 in Del Mar, California, and moves up the West Coast before finishing in Los Angeles. Other stops include Nashville, Atlanta, Washington, D.C., Boston, New York, Chicago, Seattle and Denver.

What is behind the new album?

Tenterhooks arrives on the band's own label, New Machine Recordings, and reunites the quartet with producer Butch Vig, whose credits include Nirvana, The Smashing Pumpkins and Garbage. Frontman Brian Aubert has called it an impatient, apprehensive and more aggressive record, written after touring ended in 2024. The title plays on the phrase "on tenterhooks."

What to know before you go
