Friendship Commanders, the heavy melodic rock duo that broke out in the 2010s, have announced a co-headlining U.S. tour that will take them across the Southeast and Midwest in early 2026.
The tour begins in February and stretches into April, bringing the Nashville-based band’s loud, emotional live shows to small clubs and key cities they hold close.
The announcement came directly from the band on Instagram, where they shared a full list of dates and a personal message to fans.
“OUR UPDATES! Our first run of 2026 starts in 4 weeks and we have some new shows to share!” the duo wrote.
The tour includes select dates alongside Temptress, as well as solo headlining shows later in the spring. One of the most meaningful stops is Miami on Feb. 25, which will mark vocalist and guitarist Buick Audra’s first-ever hometown performance.
“It will be Buick Audra’s first ever show in her hometown! Come spend it with us!” the band shared, highlighting how personal this run feels.

The added Chicago date on April 10 at Reggie’s Music Joint was a late addition, which the band noted with clear excitement, calling it a “fave city of ours.”

Friendship Commanders consists of Buick Audra and drummer/bassist Jerry Roe, a duo known for making a massive sound with just two people. Formed in the mid-2010s, the band has built a loyal following through relentless touring and a strong DIY approach.
BEAR continues that path. The album explores themes of belonging, isolation, and survival, with songs like “KEEPING SCORE,” “DRAIN,” and “DEAD & DISCARDED GIRLS” standing out for their emotional weight. Audra has spoken openly about feeling like an outsider, a theme that runs through both the record and the band’s live shows.
That honesty carries into the tour announcement itself. The band closed their message with a note of solidarity, writing, “Our solidarity to everyone fighting back right now. We’re with you! See you at the shows.” It’s a reminder that Friendship Commanders see touring not just as promotion, but as a shared experience with their audience.
After this U.S. run, the duo is also preparing for their first major European tour later in 2026, marking another milestone in a career built on persistence and connection. For now, the focus is clear: packed rooms, loud amps and real moments onstage.
