After years of anticipation, Grizzly Bear is finally returning to the stage. The critically acclaimed indie rock band has officially announced their first tour since 2019, marking one of the most exciting comebacks in the alternative music scene. Even more thrilling, Victoria Legrand, the ethereal voice of Beach House, will join the group for select performances, adding an extra layer of dreamlike beauty to their live shows.
The tour kicks off with a five-night residency at Brooklyn Steel in New York City on October 13, 14, 16, 17, and 18, 2025.

Each night will also feature a different opening act, promising a fresh and diverse concert experience for audiences throughout the run.
