Alt-Rock Icon Beck to Bring His ‘Ride Lonesome Tour’ to Santa Barbara This Fall

Highly acclaimed alternative rock musician Beck is bringing his ‘Ride Lonesome Tour’ to Santa Barbara this fall.

The singer-songwriter is scheduled to perform at the Santa Barbara Bowl on September 22, 2026.

Known for his eclectic, genre-bending alternative rock music, Beck’s music combines elements of rock, hip-hop, melancholic folk, and experimental Lo-Fi.

An eight-time Grammy Award winner, Beck has built a decades-long musical career that began with the phenomenal success of his single ‘Loser.’ The rejected 1992 demo was transformed into a hit number from the album ‘Mellow Gold’ in 1994, propelling Beck into worldwide fame. 

He followed up the success of ‘Mellow Gold’ with ‘Odelay,’ which contained the hit songs ‘Where It’s At,’ ‘Devil’s Haircut,’ and ‘The New Pollution.’ 

Beck won a Grammy for Album of The Year for ‘Morning Phase’ in 2014. 

Over the years, Beck has experimented with many genres of music, blurring boundaries, and creating his signature brand of music. 

His upcoming show is expected to feature some of his hit and fan-favorite numbers, such as ‘Loser,’ ‘Where It’s At,’ and ‘Devil’s Haircut,’ along with the recently released single ‘Ride Lonesome.’

The show will begin at 7 p.m., with gates opening at 5:30 p.m.

Tickets go on sale from April 24, 2026, at 10 a.m., and are available across several categories, ranging from $66.50 to $155.50. Seats at the ADA-compliant section are priced at $61.50.

Ticket sales have been limited to six per customer. Over-limit purchases may be canceled without notice. 

Beck’s ‘Ride Lonesome Tour’ will see him stopping at several destinations throughout North America. He will begin the tour on September 14, 2026, from Vancouver, Canada, going on to perform at several cities across the U.S. He is scheduled to conclude the tour on October 31, 2026, with a performance at Nashville. 

In California, besides his performance at Santa Barbara, he is scheduled to perform in Los Angeles and San Francisco.
