Production for the “Southern Thunder” Tour is scaling up dramatically compared to their past shows. Reports from the team suggest a bold visual direction featuring immersive lighting, Southern-inspired stage elements, and a deeper integration of the slide-guitar motifs that have defined their identity. The band is aiming to create a traveling atmosphere that feels like a modern Southern storm—intense, colorful, and impossible to ignore.
In North America, the tour launches with a powerful opening night in Nashville, Tennessee on March 7, 2026, before rolling through major cities like Atlanta (March 10), Chicago (March 15), Toronto (March 18), New York City (March 21), Los Angeles (March 28) and Seattle (March 30).
