Brandi Carlile will hit the road once again next week with her “Burn the Setlist (All Request Tour).” The tour will feature the 11-time Grammy-winning artist and her two long-time collaborators, Phil and Tim Hanseroth. Every show will be unique, as there is no setlist, and the entire concert will be made up of live fan requests. This was a format that was introduced earlier this year on Carlile’s “The Human Tour.”
Going back to her roots, Carlile is playing some of the older theaters that she loved playing in earlier in her career to reconnect with old friends and fans. Stops include Portland’s Revolution Hall, Tucson’s Rialto Theatre (two nights), Milwaukee’s Pabst Theater (two nights), Minneapolis’ State Theatre (two nights), Kansas City’s Uptown Theater, and Port Chester’s The Capitol Theatre (three nights), among others. See below for the complete tour itinerary.
Carlile and the twins aim to take big risks at this show by trying hard things, making mistakes, and bonding with the audience in ways they haven’t before. Due to the one-of-a-kind nature of these shows, these concerts will be phone-free experiences with the use of Yondr pouches. Guests will maintain possession of their phones at all times. A unique QR code will be provided to concertgoers, through which they will be able to download three bootlegs from the show, in addition to exclusive photos and content. The full bootleg will be available to attendees who are Bramily members only. All dates have sold out, and fans are excitedly awaiting the start of this unique concert experience.
This tour follows the conclusion of Carlile’s “The Human Tour,” which included three sold-out shows at Red Rocks featuring opener Stephen Wilson Jr. and surprise appearances from Alanis Morissette and Nathaniel Rateliff. The tour also included “Be Human: A Concert For Minneapolis.” Filmed during her sold-out show at Minneapolis’ Target Center, “Be Human” is now available in full on YouTube and has raised over $750,000 to date for The Advocates for Human Rights via Carlile’s Looking Out Foundation. “The Human Tour” continues next year with shows across the U.K. and Europe.
Recently, Carlile released Returning To Myself (Sad Gay Version), the deluxe version of her critically acclaimed album, Returning To Myself, digitally via Interscope Records/Lost Highway (stream/purchase HERE). She also released an exclusive signed rainbow vinyl. It’s a one-time pressing available only on Carlile’s website. Returning to Myself (Sad Gay Version) features intimate, reimagined versions of all songs on her 2025 album, with Carlile returning to Long Pond Studio to co-produce four tracks with Aaron Dessner. The collection includes a collaboration with Grammy-nominated composer and electronic musician Jon Hopkins (Brian Eno, Coldplay) on the breakout single, “Human,” as well as a new version of Billy Joel’s “And So It Goes” exclusively on DSPs (a version of which is also featured on the official soundtrack for Practical Magic 2). See below for full track list details.
