Little Feat Sets 2026 'Last Farewell Tour' as Multi‑Year Exit From the Road

The band casts the move as a gradual retirement from touring, not a halt to performing or recording.

Overview

  • The first performances land on January 2026 themed cruises out of Fort Lauderdale: Sandy Beaches Cruise and The Big Easy Cruise.
  • A U.S. spring leg runs April 10 in Orlando through May 24 at Dark Star Jubilee in Thornville, Ohio, with stops including Knoxville, Dallas, Austin, Kansas City, and more.
  • In a statement, the group calls it a wind‑down over several years and describes the plan as a retirement from travel rather than an absolute farewell.
  • Co‑founder Billy Payne cites age, schedules, and the wear of the road, noting the band may favor residences or special events over constant bus touring.
  • Alongside the announcement, Little Feat released Feathers And A Smile, a previously unreleased Lowell George song featuring vocals by his daughter Inara George.
