November 2026 finds Rundgren wrapping eight shows across the American classic-rock West — Denver, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Boise, Spokane, Seattle, Portland, Salt Lake City — under the Damned If I Do Tour banner. By June 2027, he’ll be standing on the 3Arena floor in Dublin opening for Toto. That arc, from Western U.S. dates to European arenas in roughly seven months, is the story of his 2027. It’s a schedule that rewards anyone paying close enough attention to plan around it.
From the American West to Orlando: The Road Into 2027
The bridge from 2026 to 2027 moves fast — a cruise departure, a same-day concert landing, and 19 U.S. dates that close at one of America’s most storied stages.
Before the U.S. theater run begins, Rundgren boards the ’70s Rock and Romance Cruise out of Fort Lauderdale, March 13–20. The first standalone concert lands the same day the ship docks: March 20 at Plaza Live in Orlando. The itinerary lists 19 standalone U.S. concerts plus the cruise appearance, for 20 total U.S. events, closing April 19 at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium. The pace is relentless in the best possible way.
Dates worth building travel plans around:
- March 20 — Orlando, FL, Plaza Live
- March 30–31 — New York, NY, City Winery (two nights)
- April 5 — Boston, MA, Wilbur
- April 16 — Memphis, TN, Graceland Soundstage
- April 19 — Nashville, TN, Ryman Auditorium
The Ryman doesn’t book curiosities. It books artists who’ve earned it.
June in Europe, With Toto
Seven confirmed European dates take Rundgren from Dublin’s 3Arena through London’s OVO Arena Wembley, with stops across Ireland and the U.K.
Seven European dates run June 16 through June 25, opening in Dublin at the 3Arena. In between: Cork’s Live at the Marquee, Glasgow’s OVO Hydro, Manchester’s AO Arena, Birmingham, Cardiff, and London’s OVO Arena Wembley. Most of these are arena-scale rooms — a sharp contrast to the U.S. theater run that precedes them.
Rundgren opens here, not headlines — a distinction that would surprise anyone who’s only heard “Hello It’s Me” on classic-rock radio. The man produced Bat Out of Hell, War Babies, Forever Now, and We’re an American Band. He wrote, produced, and played nearly every instrument on three of Something/Anything?‘s four sides in 1972 — a feat well documented among 70s Rock Albums worth revisiting. He became eligible for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1993 and waited until 2021 for Patti Smith to finally do the honors. That’s a long time to be right about someone.
The practical next step is straightforward: check availability at Rundgren’s official website for U.S. dates and tickets; cruise information lives at rockandromancecruise.com. Schedules shift — verify directly before booking travel.
The Ryman closes one chapter April 19. Dublin opens the next on June 16. Seats at both ends of that run deserve your attention now.
