Conor Oberst Announces Solo North American Tour, His First Since 2019

Conor Oberst has announced a solo tour of North America, his first solo trek since 2019. The run is called An Alleged Evening with Conor Oberst, and the dates were published on 10 November 2026, according to Pitchfork.

The tour begins in February 2027 at Liberty Hall in Lawrence, Kansas. The opening show is set for February 19. The route ends in Colorado, with two back-to-back nights at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park on May 14 and May 15.

A solo tour puts a singer on stage on their own, without a full band, so each night rests on one voice, one guitar and the songs. Oberst's run spans the first part of 2027, from the winter months of February to the middle of spring in May.

Oberst's most recent solo shows before this tour were two residencies in 2024. Each lasted four nights, one in Los Angeles and one in New York. A residency means an act stays in one city and plays several nights in a row at the same venue, rather than moving on to a new town each night.

That makes the February and May dates a return to the road for a solo format Oberst has not toured since 2019. The announcement lists the first and last shows of the trek, and its two closing nights in Estes Park give the tour a clear end point in the Rocky Mountains.

For fans planning a year around live music, the dates are the first thing to put in a calendar. For anyone following the business side of touring, a solo run is a reminder of how much of a show depends on a single performer and a small travelling setup.
