kk.Bob Seger, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty & John Mellencamp Announce 2026 Farewell Tour: One Last Ride

Detroit, Michigan – January 12, 2026

In one of the most monumental announcements in rock history, four titans of heartland and American rock — Bob Seger, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, and John Mellencamp — have officially confirmed a once-in-a-lifetime joint farewell tour: One Last Ride in 2026.

The news, dropped simultaneously across all four artists’ channels this morning, has sent shockwaves through the music world. For the first time ever, these four legends — whose parallel yet distinct careers have defined blue-collar storytelling, raw emotion, and the sound of working-class America — will share the same stage for a limited run of stadium and arena dates.

“This isn’t just a tour,” Seger said in a joint video statement. “It’s a thank-you. To the fans, to the road, to each other. We’ve all walked this highway a long time — now we’re walking it together one last time.”

The tour, billed as a celebration of endurance, brotherhood, and the enduring power of honest rock ’n’ roll, will feature full-band performances of each artist’s signature hits, plus rare collaborative moments — including group renditions of songs that have become cultural touchstones for generations.

Expect powerhouse sets packed with:

• Seger’s “Night Moves,” “Against the Wind,” “Turn the Page”
• Springsteen’s “Born to Run,” “Thunder Road,” “The River”
• Petty’s “American Girl,” “Free Fallin’,” “Learning to Fly”
• Mellencamp’s “Jack & Diane,” “Pink Houses,” “Small Town”

…plus joint performances that promise to be unforgettable.

Tom Petty, speaking with quiet intensity, added: “We’ve all lost brothers along the way. This is for them, for the fans, and for the music that kept us going when nothing else did.”

Dates and host cities have been revealed, spanning major markets across North America, with whispers of select international additions. Tickets go on sale next week — presale for fan clubs begins immediately — and early indicators show unprecedented demand.

This isn’t a nostalgia cash-grab or a standard supergroup. It is the rare convergence of four careers that shaped the sound of the American heartland — four men who turned everyday struggle, open roads, and unbreakable spirit into anthems that still echo in cars, bars, and backyards decades later.

For fans who grew up with these voices on the radio, in the background of first loves, first heartbreaks, first long drives — this tour feels less like a concert series and more like the closing of a legendary chapter.

As Mellencamp put it: “We’re not saying goodbye to the music. We’re saying thank you — one last ride — to everyone who rode with us.”

The road ends in 2026. But the songs? They’ll roll on forever.

One Last Ride. Don’t miss it. 🎸🇺🇸
