Beck just announced that he’s going to play theatres, auditoriums, bowls, halls, performing arts centers and amphitheaters all over North America on his 2026 ‘Ride Lonesome Tour.’
While out and about, the eight-time Grammy winner has two New York shows in the books. They’re slated to go down on:
Brooklyn ParamountBrooklyn, NYThursday, Oct. 22Brooklyn ParamountBrooklyn, NYFriday, Oct. 23
These concerts come in support of the 55-year-old Los Angeles’ recently-released single that shares a name with the tour.
In an interview with NPR, he shared that the song came from “a bit of a lonely time. It was one of those times in your life when you’re taking things in, where you’ve been and where you’re going.”
Prior to the single’s release, Beck dropped an album of “rarities, deep cuts, and covers” that he dubbed “Everybody’s Gotta Learn Sometime.”
The upcoming run will be the “E-Pro” singer’s first since last year’s brief Orchestral outing. At those gigs, Beck brought 20-25 songs to the stage, based on our findings at Set List FM.
As expected, he played fan favorites “Loser,” “Where It’s At,” “E-Pro,” “Everybody’s Gotta Learn Sometimes” and “Devils Haircut” along with more obscure tunes from his back catalog as well as a handful of covers by artists as varied as Scott Walker, Colourbox and The Korgis.
“A brilliant, inspired show on a gorgeous CO summer evening,” a Redditor wrote after seeing Beck at Red Rocks. “Close to a religious experience for me. Unforgettable.”
“I don’t remember feeling like that at a concert ever. Really incredible show,” another noted.
A third added “very [possible] the most transcendent concert I’ve ever been to (and I go to too many shows — this was my 5th Red Rocks show this July alone).”

On April 20, Beck dropped the single “Ride Lonesome.”
The dusty, melancholy tune finds the bassy tenor leaning into his country side.
Deeply-felt, the song certainly evokes the heartbreak and emptiness of solitude but in a gorgeous, generous way.
“Ride Lonesome” isn’t exactly a sunshine-y tune but one that’s perfect for when you’re deep in your feels and maybe in need of a good sob.
