“It’s wild that we will be celebrating 15 years of our first record this spring – we are so lucky to have had the stars align meeting one another and creating art in those early days – we are looking forward to reflecting and celebrating the moments of coming together for the first time in real time with all of you! It’s going to be a show unlike anything we’ve ever done. We are also so grateful and feel that the stars have aligned with having the Brudi Brothers out opening up each show in these intimate theater settings ! See you this spring!!!!” – Charity Rose Thielen

Last week, The Head and The Heart kicked off the 15th anniversary celebration by performing their fan favorite song, “Rivers And Roads” on Jimmy Kimmel Live! 

In addition to the anniversary tour, the band will play two various headline shows this year including two sold out performances at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre on July 15 and July 16, 2026. Night one, on July 15, will feature a unique performance with The Colorado Symphony and support from Evan Honer. Night two, on July 16, will celebrate the 15th anniversary of the band’s beloved breakout self-titled debut, with special guest Wilderado. The band will play the entirety of the album.

Over the years, The Head and The Heart have established their status as a touring powerhouse, having landed prime time mainstage slots at Coachella, Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits. SPIN Magazine boasts, “Performing live is where The Head and The Heart’s distinctive sweep truly blossoms.” NPR praises, “Voices, rhythms and personalities come together with The Head and the Heart, always proving that the best rock bands exceed the sum of their parts.”

Last November, The Head and The Heart released Ghosts In The Machinery EP, a limited-edition exclusive vinyl which was released for Record Store Day Black Friday and last month, it became available digitally. Stream/purchase the EP HERE.

Last year, The Head and The Heart released their Verve Forecast album, Aperture. The album brings the band back to a DIY approach as it’s the first record self-produced by the band since their self-titled debut album in 2011.

In addition to the record setting album’s #1 AAA single, “Arrow” also hit #1 at Alternative radio after climbing the chart for 30 weeks. The album includes “Blue Embers”, “After The Setting Sun” and “Time With My Sins.” In addition, “Arrow” spent over 20 weeks on the Adult Top 40 radio chart, and the single was the #2 Most played song of 2025 at AAA as well as the Top 5 Most Played songs of the year at Alternative Radio.
