Information About this Event

Life Is a Carnival Last Waltz '24:

This epic tour continues the tradition of capturing the excitement of The Band’s historic 1976 Thanksgiving  concert at the famed Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco, hailed as the greatest live concert event of all  time. This tour also celebrates the legacy of the Band’s co-founder Robbie Robertson, and immediately  follows the one night only concert celebration of Robbie at Kia Forum in Los Angeles, California on October  17, 2024, entitled “Life Is a Carnival: A Musical Celebration of Robbie Robertson” (featuring the same all-star  band). The multi-city tour kicks off at the Warfield in San Francisco, CA, on October 19 and continues through  November 2024, making stops at historic venues throughout the U.S. and Canada. Tickets go on sale August  16, 2024, at 10 AM PT at http://thelastwaltztour.live. Tour dates and venues are listed below. A portion of the  proceeds from the tour shall be donated to local charities. Life is a Carnival: Last Waltz Tour ‘24 features a star-studded lineup led by Ryan Bingham, Jamey Johnson,  Mike Campbell, Benmont Tench, Don Was, John Medeski, Dave Malone, Terence Higgins, Cyril Neville, Mark  Mullins & The Levee Horns (featuring the original horn arrangements of Allen Toussaint). Notably, this tour  will serve as the first time that original Heartbreakers members Mike Campbell and Benmont Tench have  toured together since 2017 (prior to the passing of Tom Petty). Additionally, Lukas Nelson will be joining the  tour for three special shows in Colorado. Over forty-five years ago, The Band performed their final concert to a sold-out crowd with a who’s-who of  music royalty in attendance. The evening culminated with “Don’t Do It,” The Band’s cover of Marvin Gaye’s  “Baby Don’t You Do It.” After the last note, Robbie Robertson, The Bands’ lead guitarist, songwriter, and a  founding member said "Goodnight. Goodbye." walking off stage, forever immortalizing this epic event.

The Lineup:

Ryan Bingham, Jamey Johnson, Mike Campbell, Benmont Tench, Don Was, Cyril  Neville, John Medeski, Dave Malone, Terence Higgins, Mark Mullins & The Levee Horns
