Published on 09/02/2026 at 15:38 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael MĂĽller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Alanis Morissette is set for a busy live year in 2026, mixing European outdoor shows, North American festivals and arenas, and a themed Los Angeles residency. According to her official events page and major ticketing listings, the schedule stretches from summer dates in Ireland and the UK through autumn shows in the United States.
Summer 2026 dates in Ireland and the UK
Alanis Morissette’s 2026 run includes a string of outdoor concerts in Ireland and the United Kingdom across late June and early July 2026, giving European fans a chance to hear her alternative rock and pop catalog in large open-air settings. A detailed tour announcement outlines Virgin Media Park in Cork on June 24, 2026, followed by Powderham Castle in Exeter on June 26 and a show at Blenheim Palace in Woodstock on June 28, all presented as full concert evenings.
The same schedule lists Bellahouston Park in Glasgow for June 30, 2026, with subsequent appearances at Lytham Festival on Lytham Green in Lancashire on July 2 and Crystal Palace Park in London on July 4, 2026, framing the run as a concentrated early-summer leg across major UK outdoor venues. A media report on the summer dates highlights how this sequence effectively serves as a focused European tour, with the London show at Crystal Palace Park as the closing stop of the UK run. Vice’s announcement of the summer 2026 tour places these concerts as a distinct block ahead of later North American commitments.
North American festivals and arena dates in autumn 2026
After the European leg, Alanis Morissette’s 2026 touring year shifts to North America, where festival and arena bookings mark the late summer and autumn part of the calendar. A concert-tour overview describes a booking at Riot Fest in Chicago’s Douglass Park on September 20, 2026, positioning it as one of the key festival slots of her year alongside other alternative rock and punk acts.
Listings from major ticket platforms also show an outdoor headline show at Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort in Mount Pleasant, Michigan, on September 19, 2026, immediately adjacent to the Riot Fest appearance. Further east, an arena performance at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut, is scheduled for October 2, 2026, providing a standalone indoor date between the festival weekend and the later residency shows. Together these North American events demonstrate how Morissette balances curated festival slots with her own headlining concerts. One aggregated tour site summarizes the fall itinerary with Douglass Park on September 20, Soaring Eagle Casino on September 19, and Mohegan Sun Arena on October 2 all appearing as confirmed entries. A dedicated 2026–2027 tour listing reinforces these dates as part of a broader run that extends into 2027.

Butterfly with a Machete – the LA residency concept
Late 2026 finds Alanis Morissette based in Southern California for a short residency under the title Butterfly with a Machete at YouTube Theater at Hollywood Park in Inglewood. Live Nation’s event overview and matching ticket listings confirm four shows on November 5, 6, 10 and 11, 2026, promoted as part of a themed rock performance described in materials as a “traumedy” residency.
The residency format differs from the touring shows by presenting multiple nights in the same venue, allowing Morissette to adapt the setlist, visuals and narrative elements across performances in a controlled environment. YouTube Theater, an indoor venue within the Hollywood Park complex, provides a modern audiovisual setup suited to a concept-driven rock show. Ticketing information emphasizes the residency branding as a key draw, positioning the four nights as a centerpiece of Morissette’s late-2026 live activity and as a destination event for fans willing to travel to Los Angeles. A ticketing platform that aggregates residency and tour dates lists all four YouTube Theater shows consecutively after the October 2 Mohegan Sun Arena date. Live Nation’s event information underscores the residency branding and confirms that tickets are on sale.
The musical core and catalog behind the 2026 shows
Alanis Morissette’s 2026 tour and residency draw primarily on a catalog that spans alternative rock and pop since the mid-1990s. Her breakthrough album Jagged Little Pill established a sound built around expressive vocals, guitar-driven arrangements and confessional songwriting, with tracks such as You Oughta Know, Ironic and Hand in My Pocket remaining staples of her live sets.
Subsequent albums expanded the palette with more reflective songwriting and varied instrumentation, but core elements like emotional intensity, dynamic shifts between quiet verses and powerful choruses, and a blend of rock, pop and singer-songwriter influences continue to define her performances. In a residency setting like Butterfly with a Machete, these qualities can be recontextualized through recurring narrative motifs and stage production, while festival appearances such as Riot Fest highlight the more direct rock side of her catalog. For concertgoers in 2026, the live shows encapsulate both the enduring impact of Jagged Little Pill and the later work that has broadened her stylistic range.
Where Alanis Morissette stands in 2026
