Inside the Alter Bridge What Lies Within Tour

For more than 20 years, Alter Bridge has stood at the crossroads of melodic hard rock and modern metal. Born from the ashes of Creed in the early 2000s, the band -- vocalist and guitarist Myles Kennedy, lead guitarist Mark Tremonti, bassist Brian Marshall, and drummer Scott Phillips -- carved out their own identity with their 2004 debut One Day Remains, then cemented their place in the genre with Blackbird, AB III, Fortress, The Last Hero, Walk the Sky, and Pawns & Kings. Their eighth studio album, the self-titled Alter Bridge, released in early 2026 and now powers the fall 2026 tour.

According to Alter Bridge's official tour page, the second leg of the What Lies Within Tour kicks off November 5, 2026 at Franklin Music Hall in Philadelphia and wraps December 5 in Reno, Nevada. In between, the band hits Silver Spring (The Fillmore), Buffalo (Riverworks), Cleveland (Agora Theatre), Milwaukee (Eagles Ballroom), Prior Lake (Mystic Lake Showroom), Kansas City (VooDoo Lounge at Harrah's), St. Louis (The Pageant), San Antonio (The Aztec Theatre), Maricopa (Harrah's Ak-Chin), Anaheim (House of Blues), and more along the way. Blabbermouth and Loudwire covered the announcement.

The lineup of Big Wreck and Tim Montana in the support slots makes for a stacked rock bill from doors to lights-up. Big Wreck has been one of Canada's most consistent alt-rock acts since the late 1990s, and Tim Montana brings hard-driving outlaw rock energy. Combined with Alter Bridge's setlists, fans are getting nearly three hours of rock-and-roll for the price of admission.

What is the What Lies Within Tour? It is Alter Bridge's 2026 North American headlining tour cycle in support of their new self-titled album. The first leg ran earlier in 2026, and this second leg covers the United States in November and December with support from Big Wreck and Tim Montana. Setlists are heavy on the new record while keeping room for the band's deepest catalog favorites.

Setlist trends from this tour are tracked on setlist.fm, and fans hunting deeper context on the band's catalog can find it on Wikipedia. New material from the self-titled album sits at the heart of the show, but the band routinely rotates classics like "Open Your Eyes," "Blackbird," "Metalingus," "Addicted to Pain," and "Watch Over You" into nightly setlists.

Each venue on this run brings its own personality. Franklin Music Hall, The Fillmore Silver Spring, Agora Theatre, House of Blues Anaheim, and The Pageant are all classic theaters and ballrooms that lean into the hard-rock sound. Casino showrooms like VooDoo Lounge at Harrah's Kansas City and Mystic Lake offer a more intimate setting. Browse the full schedule in the listings above and pick the city -- and the room -- that fits your weekend.
