11x Grammy Award-winner Brandi Carlile will continue her triumphant The Human Tour this fall with newly confirmed stops across North America, including Meadow Brook Amphitheatre on Friday, August 21 at 7 p.m. Special guests for the local date will be I'm With Her. Oakland University Credit Union is the exclusive presenting partner of Meadow Brook Amphitheatre.
Travel packages are available for Carlile's Red Rocks weekend — bundling show tickets with local hotel accommodations, round-trip transportation to the venue, and exclusive travel package merchandise. Fans can choose a 3-night package that includes tickets to all three shows, or a 1-night package for the September 11, 12, or 13, 2026 performances.
The upcoming dates follow the acclaimed first leg of The Human Tour, which included shows at New York's Madison Square Garden (two nights), Los Angeles' Kia Forum and Boston's TD Garden, of which The Boston Herald praised, "Brandi's unmistakable vocal delivery with a towering band, her strange and perfect songs done with all the drama they deserve, her infectious enthusiasm for performing, all combined to prove she belongs in this big place. Even if she can make it feel so small."
In the midst of yet another groundbreaking year, Carlile's renowned new album, Returning To Myself — produced by Carlile, Andrew Watt, Aaron Dessner and Justin Vernon — debuted at #7 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart this past fall.
