Ahead of the fall run, Carlile will return to The Gorge Amphitheatre this spring with her “Echoes Through the Canyon” weekend on May 29, 30 and 31. The Highwomen will headline night three, which was recently added due to overwhelming demand. Additional special guests across The Gorge weekend are Sheryl Crow, Indigo Girls, Bonnie Raitt, Wynonna Judd, I’m With Her, Brittney Spencer and Sara Bareilles. Carlile will also headline Newport Folk Festival on July 26.
The upcoming dates follow the acclaimed first leg of “The Human Tour,” which included shows at New York’s Madison Square Garden (two nights), Los Angeles’ Kia Forum and Boston’s TD Garden, of which The Boston Herald praised, “Brandi’s unmistakable vocal delivery with a towering band, her strange and perfect songs done with all the drama they deserve, her infectious enthusiasm for performing, all combined to prove she belongs in this big place. Even if she can make it feel so small.” The spring run also featured “Be Human: A Concert for Minneapolis,” “a monumental gig” (Rolling Stone) that raised over $700,000 for Minnesota’s The Advocates for Human Rights and was livestreamed from Carlile’s sold-out show at Minneapolis’ Target Center.
In the midst of yet another groundbreaking year, Carlile’s renowned new album, Returning To Myself—produced by Carlile, Andrew Watt, Aaron Dessner and Justin Vernon—debuted at #7 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart this past fall. Stream/purchase HERE (Interscope Records/Lost Highway). Carlile was also recently honored as one of TIME’s 2026 Women of the Year, performed a “gorgeous” (Billboard) rendition of “America The Beautiful” at Super Bowl LX (watch HERE), returned to NPR Music’s Tiny Desk Concert series and NBC’s Saturday Night Live as musical guest for the fourth time, was featured on The Howard Stern Show, NPR’s Wild Card with Rachel Martin and The Drew Barrymore Show, and spoke with The New York Times for an in-depth profile.
Critical acclaim for Returning To Myself:
“Carlile is a bona fide superstar whose compositions feel like instant classics”—NPR Music
“It has the luster and confidence of an artist realizing her prime, finding memory and maturity in the lyrics.”—The New York Times
“One of her finest efforts and one of the best albums of the year”—Variety
“It’s a record about navigating the second half of life with fortitude and not fear; and how the best way to do that is to remember where we came from, and who we got there with.”
—Rolling Stone
“Remarkable…a mid-life crisis has never sounded quite this poetic”—Billboard
“For an artist already established as one of her generation’s brightest songwriters, this represents another significant evolution”—Rolling Stone U.K.
“Carlile’s eighth album does the difficult work of cracking open the soul to let flow her vulnerability. The songs succeed in their tasks: bringing her into a fresh creative moment where she flourishes”—Paste
“Stunning, introspective…feels like reuniting with an old friend”—A.V. Club
“A pearl from the new queen of Laurel Canyon…it never sounds less than gorgeous”—MOJO
“It’s a record of reinvention and rediscovery, filled with songs unlike any Carlile has made before, often leaning into her singer-songwriter side but painting with a different sonic palette”
—The Seattle Times
“An album full of warmth and humanity”—The London Standard
