Life Is A Carnival: The Last Waltz Tour 24′

Monday, November 04, 2024 @ 7:30pm



Count Basie Center for the Arts
99 Monmouth Street, Red Bank, NJ 07701

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.
