More than four decades into their career, one of alternative rock’s loudest bands is staying on the road.
Dinosaur Jr. has expanded its North American tour with 17 new concerts scheduled for February and March 2027. Starcrawler will serve as the special guest at 14 of the upcoming shows.
The new run begins with two nights at Brooklyn Steel in New York on Feb. 11 and 12. From there, the band will visit cities including Philadelphia, Orlando, Nashville, Chicago, Detroit and Toronto before returning to its home state of Massachusetts for a final performance in Boston on March 13.
The announcement coincides with the Aug. 28 release of Dinosaur Jr.’s 13th studio album, There Near. The record marks the group’s first full-length project since Sweep It Into Space arrived in 2021. Its release was led by the singles “Several Got Away” and “Everything At Once.”
View this post on Instagram“I’m not always sure what a song is ‘about’ when I’m writing it,” frontman J Mascis said in a statement shared by Pitchfork. “I guess the meaning will present itself at some point.”
Mascis formed Dinosaur Jr. with bassist Lou Barlow and drummer Murph in Amherst, Massachusetts, during the 1980s. The group helped shape the sound of alternative rock by placing tuneful songwriting and sprawling guitar solos inside layers of distortion.
Neil Young was among the classic rock artists who influenced that approach. His raw guitar playing and willingness to stretch solos across a song can be heard in Mascis’ own style, while the band’s heavier side also drew from Black Sabbath and the energy of punk.
The original lineup separated near the end of the 1980s, though Mascis continued recording under the Dinosaur Jr. name. Barlow and Murph eventually rejoined him in 2005, beginning a reunion that has now lasted more than 20 years.
Before the 2027 dates begin, Dinosaur Jr. will complete a fall 2026 tour featuring special guest Stef Chura. Tickets for the newly announced shows are on sale now.
