THE AFGHAN WHIGS ANNOUNCE 40TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR

Mercury Rev will support all dates.

From their inception in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1986, The Afghan Whigs have never played by the rules of convention. Against the plaid-and-grunge-shaded backdrop of the early-to-mid-‘90s, the Whigs stood apart from their contemporaries by virtue of attiring in suits and being way more likely to slide up on a Marvin Gaye groove than rehash a Black Sabbath riff.

Originally splitting in 2001, the band subsequently reunited for a massively successful 2012 reunion tour that found them headlining major festivals all over the globe and selling out prestigious venues throughout the U.S., Europe, and Southern Hemisphere.  Since then, they have not only added totheir touring legacy they have released three critically acclaimed albums in the 21st century: Do to the Beast (2014),In Spades (2017) and How Do You Burn? (2022).

2026 marks the 40th anniversary of the band, who will celebrate the occasion with a twenty-date headline tour in North America.  Mercury Rev will support on all dates.

“40 years later, I still get to do the thing I love the most.  Writing songs and performing them with my friends all over the world.  I truly have to pinch myself.” - Greg Dulli

The Afghan Whigs are planning to release a new record in 2026.  More announcements about that to follow shortly.
