Gnarls Barkley tour returns after 18‑year hiatus – dates, tickets, and new album insights

Gnarls Barkley tour kicks off in San Francisco

The long‑awaited Gnarls Barkley tour erupts onto the U.S. circuit this fall, marking the duo’s first live run in ↓ 18 years and covering ↑ 9 major markets. Cee‑Lo Green and producer Danger Mouse will traverse coast‑to‑coast from the West Coast to the Midwest, beginning at The Masonic in San Francisco on November 5 and concluding at Chicago’s House of Blues on November 28.

Ticket phases and presale windows

Citi and Spotify holders can snap up seats starting Monday, September 21; artist‑only presale follows on Wednesday, September 23; the public sale opens via Live Nation on Thursday, September 24.

“The Gnarls Barkley ‘To Whom It Still Concerns’ Tour reads like an open diary, probing life, death and the in‑between,” Cee‑Lo Green told Reuters. “These tracks are the bright side of a bleak story. Join us and celebrate the beautiful chaos.”

The setlist will likely lean on tracks from their freshly released final album “Atlanta,” dropped in March 2026, an effort that finally closed the duo’s creative chapter after a prolonged pause. In “Pictures,” Green recounts a childhood commute on the MARTA train, turning a mundane ride into a cinematic metaphor. Fans can also expect nods to classic hits like “Crazy” and “Smiley Faces.” While the partnership thrives, rumors swirl around Green’s other group, Goodie Mob, after a July 2026 comment from member Big Gipp that hinted at lingering tensions. Bloomberg noted the music industry’s broader trend of legacy acts reviving tours post‑pandemic as ticket demand spikes.
