Craig Finn Announces 2026 Full-Band Fall Tour

Craig Finn has announced plans for a full-band North American tour. The Man I’ve Always Been Tour will see Finn backed by The Band of Forgiveness. The tour kicks off on November 10 at Portland, OR’s Polaris Hall and then travel through the month. Says Finn: “I am absolutely thrilled to announce these shows in November 2026 with The Band of Forgiveness,” says Craig Finn. “I put together The Band of Forgiveness last year with three Minneapolis-based musicians – Nelson Devereaux, Joe Strachan, and Ethan Elseth. I had imagined a group of musicians that would help me take on some of my songs in a unique approach, one that let the stories shine through but still brought a high level of musicality.
I was thrilled how the tour went – each show the band ascended higher, and we were able to create dramatic musical narratives that were exciting and satisfying. In January, we hit the UK and played a few shows, culminating in a beautiful night at London’s Union Chapel. Now, I am excited to be bringing this amazing band to the West Coast and back through the Midwest. These will be extremely special shows, and I hope you will join us!”
Next month, Finn is teaming up once again with Patterson Hood for another round of their Devils in the Details Tour, that sees the two longtime friends trading songs together onstage, accompanied by multi-instrumentalist Ben Hackett. Dates begin July 9 at The Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul, MN, and then visit Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New York, and Massachusetts through the month.
“I’ve been friends with Patterson Hood for almost twenty years now,” says Finn, “and we’ve done a lot of cool things together. But possibly my favorite adventure with Patterson was the Devils in the Details Tour that we did from Seattle to Texas in November 2025. The shows were loose, fun, musical, and truly special.
“We’re doing it all again, starting next month, starting in the Twin Cities and running through the East Coast. These are guaranteed to be a great time, and I’m so excited to be playing in this format again. These will make for sublime summer evenings – I might even bust out some new songs for the occasion!”
Finn will cross the Atlantic this Fall for a series of eagerly awaited EU/UK dates supporting The Mountain Goats. The shows get underway on October 5 in Helsinki, Finland, and then make stops in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. Finn will be accompanied by The Band of Forgiveness in Manchester, Dublin, Glasgow, London, and Bristol.
