DANNY ELFMAN ANNOUNCES 11-CITY NORTH AMERICAN FALL TOUR

Photo: Frazer Harrison Danny Elfman has announced a North American fall tour in support of a forthcoming album, his first new solo full-length since 2021’s Big Mess. The Oingo Boingo frontman opens the run on September 7 at Chicago’s Aragon Ballroom and plays 11 dates before closing at Sacramento’s Aftershock Festival on October 4, with stops that include Detroit’s Fox Theatre, Boston’s MGM Music Hall at Fenway, New York’s SummerStage, and Philadelphia’s The Met along the way. The shows shift depending on the room. Elfman’s outdoor festival appearances at Shaky Knees, Louder Than Life, and Aftershock will fold in selections from his film and television scores, backed by orchestra and choir, while the indoor headlining dates lean fully into the rock side of his catalog. Across both, fans can expect a career-spanning set drawing on the new album, Big Mess, Oingo Boingo favorites, and his solo material. Elfman will be joined by an all-star band featuring Robin Finck (Nine Inch Nails, Guns N’ Roses) and Nili Brosh (Dethklok) on guitar, Josh Freese (Nine Inch Nails, Foo Fighters) on drums, and Matt McJunkins (A Perfect Circle, Eagles of Death Metal) on bass. Presale for tickets begins Wednesday, July 8 at 10 a.m. local time, with general sale following Friday, July 10 at 10 a.m. local time. Fans can grab tickets through Elfman’s official website.   See full tour routing below. 9/7 – Chicago, IL @ Aragon Ballroom 9/9 – Detroit, MI @ Fox Theatre 9/10 – Toronto, ON @ History 9/12 – Boston, MA @ MGM Music Hall at Fenway 9/14 – Silver Spring, MD @ The Fillmore Silver Spring 9/15 – New York, NY @ SummerStage 9/16 – Philadelphia, PA @ The Met Philadelphia 9/18 – Atlanta, GA @ Shaky Knees Festival 9/20 – Louisville, KY @ Louder Than Life Festival 10/3 – San Francisco, CA @ The Masonic 10/4 – Sacramento, CA @ Aftershock Festival
