Future Islands

Future Islands, the Baltimore-born synth-pop powerhouse, are hitting the road for a sweeping multi-city tour that promises to be their most electrifying run yet. Known for their emotionally charged performances and the magnetic stage presence of frontman Samuel T. Herring — whose passionate, almost primal delivery has become the stuff of legend — the band delivers sets that blur the line between concert and cathartic ritual. From the intimate energy of Cat's Cradle to the open-air grandeur of the Greenfield Lake Amphitheater, each venue promises a uniquely immersive experience. The tour kicks off with back-to-back nights at Greenfield Lake Amphitheater on May 15–16, 2026, before the band plants roots for three consecutive evenings at the beloved Cat's Cradle on May 19–21. With nine dates spanning multiple markets, there are plenty of opportunities to witness the raw, danceable power of their pulsing basslines, shimmering synthesizers, and Herring's one-of-a-kind vocal acrobatics. Whether you're a longtime devotee or a first-time listener, a Future Islands show is a full-body experience that stays with you long after the final note fades. Rooted in the independent spirit of Baltimore's DIY music scene, Future Islands have built a devoted global following through relentless touring and a string of critically acclaimed albums. Their live shows are renowned for their intensity and intimacy — no two nights feel quite the same. Grab your tickets early, as these dates are expected to sell out fast across all venues.
