NewDad 2026 North American tour: Presale, dates, venues, and more explored

Irish indie-rock trio NewDad are officially set to bring their music across the Atlantic once again. Following the release of their second album, Altar, the band has announced a North American tour for spring 2026. It is going to be their biggest run yet in the region.

The newly announced tour includes stops in the US and Canada. It will kick off at Coachella on April 10, 2025, before moving through multiple cities like New York, Toronto, Chicago, and Seattle. This North American leg will follow their 2025 European and UK tour in support of Altar.

NewDad announced the upcoming 2026 trek via an official Instagram post, captioning:

"Back in North America next year!! Playing some bigger shows in our favourite spots, as well as some new places we have not been before 🤍 Excited to be joined by @freakslug 🙂‍↕️ Starting with @coachella to kick it all off will be mental. Pre-sale tickets on sale tomorrow at 10 am local time - fans on the mailing list get access. Tickets on sale Friday at 10 am local time. See ye there 🏠"

Before their breakout, NewDad were a group of friends. Dawson, Sean O'Dowd, and Fiachra Parslow began experimenting with music during their college years. They gained attention through BBC Radio 6 and early streaming. NewDad's debut album, Madra, was officially dropped in 2024.
