They’re doing it again! After a successful summer 2025 tour, Spin Doctors join Blues Traveler and Gin Blossoms again for a full summer tour in 2026. Here’s are some quotes from the official press release:

Multi-Platinum Rock Legends Blues Traveler and Gin Blossoms Announce Return to the Road for Co-Headlining Summer Tour with Special Guest Spin Doctors

Multi-platinum rock legends Blues Traveler and Gin Blossoms have joined forces yet again for an electrifying co-headlining summer tour. The bands behind signature hits like “Run-Around” and “Hey Jealousy” have announced a 35-date run set to kick off on Monday, July 6 at the Amphitheater at Las Colonias Park. Along the way, the tour will light up iconic stages from Los Angeles, CA to New York City’s SummerStage in Central Park, culminating on Saturday, September 19, bringing their high-energy performances coast-to-coast.

Blues Traveler — who last year celebrated 30 years since the single release of their GRAMMY® Award-winning breakthrough hit “Run-Around,” a milestone highlighted in aRolling Stone interview with frontman John Popper — will join Gin Blossoms, whose quadruple-platinum album New Miserable Experience helped define ‘90s alternative radio, for this highly-anticipated run. In addition, returning from last year’s lineup, the tour features legendary alternative rock band Spin Doctors, commemorating this year the 35th anniversary of their multi-platinum debut Pocket Full of Kryptonite, home to the chart-topping, GRAMMY®-nominated hit “Two Princes.”

 

Ticket on-sales begin Friday, January 23 at 10am local time, with the exception of a few dates.Visit the Blues Traveler website or the Gin Blossoms website for more information and to purchase tickets.

For Blues Traveler, the run is a celebration of long-standing friendships forged on the road. “It’s rare when a package feels so much like home that it carries a spirit which becomes tangible to an audience,” frontman John Popper reflects. “That was the case — by all accounts — regarding our summer tour last year with Spin Doctors and Gin Blossoms. We grew up with Spin Doctors as pups in the same litter… ours is a shared origin story. But working with Gin Blossoms was a first. Their music was everywhere when we were coming up, and yet only last summer did we have the opportunity to learn how fun it is playing with them — and to discover how much energy our three bands put out in combination. So, we’ve decided to take this show everywhere we missed last year. We’re excited to bring it to you.”

 

That enthusiasm carries over from last summer’s shows. Guitarist Chan Kinchla adds, “Back by popular demand! We had such a blast last summer with Gin Blossoms and Spin Doctors and all of you beautiful people that we decided to bring the tour to the half of the country we missed. Can’t wait for another amazing summer!”

Members of Gin Blossoms echo the sentiment, highlighting both nostalgia and momentum. “Same tour 2 summers in a row,” says vocalist Robin Wilson. “I’ve never even heard of this happening before. It is a testament to the strength of the lineup. We’re all friends, we’re gonna sell a lot of tickets, and it will be a blast.” Guitarist Jesse Valenzuela puts it simply: “Let’s do it again, part deux! Another summer of great music with our brothers in Blues Traveler and Spin Doctors.” Guitarist Scott Johnson adds,“Blues Traveler and Spin Doctors is the best package we have ever been a part of, something for everyone!”

For Spin Doctors, the decision to return for a second consecutive summer speaks for itself. “As far as I know, it’s pretty unprecedented for the same tour to go out two summers in a row,” says frontman Chris Barron. “I’m glad it’s happening because it’s nice to know that while we were having a ball, the audiences were as well. For sure it’s gonna be the ticket of the summer.” Drummer Aaron Comess hints at what fans can expect: “We had so much fun last summer on this tour we’re doing it again. Get ready for lots more collaborations, hit songs, and killer jams.”
