They Might Be Giants have added 2027 dates to The Bigger Show Tour, with shows in San Francisco, San Diego, Los Angeles, Portland, Boise and Seattle. The run starts March 5 in San Francisco and ends June 13 in Seattle; public ticket sales are scheduled for Oct. 30.
They Might Be Giants have added 15 shows in six cities to The Bigger Show Tour in 2027, bringing the band to California, Oregon, Idaho and Washington. The new dates begin with a three-night run at San Francisco’s Fillmore on March 5 and conclude with four nights at Seattle’s Neptune Theatre in June.
The March leg includes three shows at the Fillmore on March 5-7, followed by two performances at San Diego’s Belly Up on March 9-10. The band will then play Los Angeles’ Orpheum Theatre on March 12 and 13. After a break, the tour resumes in June with three nights at Portland’s Crystal Ballroom, a Boise show at Treefort Music Hall, and four consecutive performances at Seattle’s Neptune Theatre from June 10-13.
According to the tour announcement reported by Consequence, the group will perform as an eight-piece ensemble with a three-piece horn section, and the shows will have no opening act. At multi-night stops, the first set will focus on a different album from the band’s catalog each night. The second set is planned to draw on fan favorites, deep cuts and newer material.
The band’s official site lists Lincoln, John Henry, Mink Car and Factory Showroom among the albums receiving spotlight sets. The announcement does not specify which album will be played on each date. An artist presale is scheduled to begin Thursday, Oct. 29, at 12 p.m. ET, followed by general ticket sales on Friday, Oct. 30, through Ticketmaster.
Album Sets Shape Multi-Night Stops
The format gives the multi-night runs a distinct structure: fans attending more than one show may hear a different album in the first set each evening, alongside a second set spanning other points in the band’s catalog. That approach makes the San Francisco, Portland and Seattle stretches particularly notable for listeners deciding whether to attend multiple dates.
The tour also brings the group’s larger ensemble and horn section to venues across the West. The announced itinerary offers several opportunities in major regional markets, while the single Boise date extends the run beyond the coastal cities. No opener is planned, according to the report, so the announced performances are centered on the band’s own sets.

The Tour Continues Into 2027
The new dates extend an existing tour rather than launch a separate run. They Might Be Giants are scheduled to finish the 2026 leg with multi-night stops in Austin, Houston, Dallas and Washington, D.C., followed by year-end performances in Montclair, New Jersey, and New Haven, Connecticut. The source report says Jonathan Coulton is set to appear at both New Year’s shows.
The tour follows the release of The World Is to Dig, described in the report as the duo’s latest album and its first full-length since BOOK, released in 2021. The new 2027 schedule is limited to the listed West Coast and Northwest cities; the announcement does not say whether additional dates will be added.
Setlists And Further Dates Unconfirmed
The available announcement does not assign specific spotlight albums to individual nights, so the album schedule for each multi-night stop remains unconfirmed. It also does not give ticket prices, venue-specific sale details beyond the listed presale and public-sale times, or information about availability and age restrictions.
Only the dates and venues in the announced itinerary are confirmed in the source material. Whether the band will add more cities, change the schedule or announce additional guest performers is not stated. Readers should check the band’s official site and the relevant ticket seller for updated event information.
Presale Opens October 29
The next scheduled milestone is the artist presale at 12 p.m. ET on Thursday, Oct. 29. General ticket sales are due to begin Friday, Oct. 30, through Ticketmaster. The announcement does not provide ticket prices or say whether all venue dates will use identical sale procedures.
Fans can also watch the band’s official tour listings for album assignments, ticketing updates or any additional dates. The first newly announced performance is set for March 5, 2027, in San Francisco; the final listed show is June 13 in Seattle.
