Joan Jett and the Blackhearts are planning a small but mighty summer tour that will reach two continents.
Highlights of the 2026 slate include her tour-opening appearance at BottleRock in Napa Valley with a varied bill that features everyone from Foo Fighters and Kool & the Gang to Men at Work and Bush. Jett played the inaugural festival in 2013, then returned four years later for her second appearance.
The complete list of dates, cities, and venues is below, along with an updated preview of summer’s biggest rock tours. For more information or tickets to Jett’s shows, go to her official website.

When Is Joan Jett Touring This Year?
Jett is set to play the America250PA Commonwealth Concert Series in Hershey, Pennsylvania, between June concerts in Solvesborg, Sweden, and Tilloloy, France. After that, Jett and the Blackhearts will play their first headlining U.K. dates in more than 15 years. They’ll stop in Glasgow, Leeds, and Manchester.
This will be Jett’s first tour since the death of Thommy Price, who served as the Blackhearts’ drummer for nearly 30 years between 1986 and 2016. He appeared on eight of their albums, beginning with Jett’s fifth studio project. Price was 68 when he died.
