Sombr Announces 2026 ‘You Are the Reason Tour’ Across North America
Rising rock artist sombr is hitting the road in a big way this year. The newly announced You Are the Reason Tour spans 37 dates, bringing the singer to arenas and major festivals across North America through summer and fall.
The run begins with a handful of high-profile appearances in July, including stops in Mexico City, a set at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, and a performance at Lollapalooza. The full tour officially kicks off September 29 at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, marking the start of a packed fall schedule.
From there, sombr will move through major cities including Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles, Austin, Nashville, Chicago, Detroit, Toronto, Boston, and Philadelphia. The tour wraps November 23 with a final show at Madison Square Garden in New York.
The tour’s support lineup is just as notable. Artists like Interpol, King Princess, The Last Dinner Party, The Hellp, and Dove Cameron are set to appear across select dates, giving the tour a strong mix of indie, pop, and alternative energy.
Tickets roll out in stages. An artist presale begins April 14 at 10 a.m. local time, followed by additional presales, including a Spotify offering on April 16. General ticket sales open April 17 at 10 a.m. local time through Ticketmaster. Fans can also look to StubHub, where resale tickets are backed by the platform’s FanProtect guarantee, though prices may vary depending on demand.
With a mix of big rooms, festival slots, and a stacked opener lineup, sombr’s upcoming run looks set to be a busy—and loud—season.
