This Week’s Alt Plans: Michigan First, Then the Big Picture
A quick, practical scan of what’s actually on the calendar right now—tickets, timing, and the few updates worth acting on.
Alright alt fam—this week is one of those “keep your tabs open” moments: a couple real-deal tour calendars are up and moving, one big-name tour page is sitting quiet, and West Michigan’s newest big room is officially in the mix for summer planning.
Acrisure Amphitheater: The West Michigan calendar is live
If you’re a planner, Grand Rapids’ Acrisure Amphitheater has its event listings posted and rolling. It’s the kind of page you’ll want bookmarked, because this venue is quickly becoming the summer anchor downtown—easy to pair with a night on the riverwalk, and a straight shot for listeners driving in from Muskegon, Holland, Kalamazoo, or the lakeshore towns. (Check the venue site for the current schedule and ticketing info.)
Counting Crows: A festival date is confirmed on their official tour page
Counting Crows have a confirmed appearance at Bospop Festival on July 12, 2026, and it’s listed right on their official tour page. For U.S. listeners, that matters because it tells you the live machine is still turning this summer—so if you’re watching for stateside routing, keep an eye on the official “Upcoming Shows” feed for the next verified add.
Goo Goo Dolls: Summer tour is a real, announced run
The Goo Goo Dolls’ official site has dates up, and established outlets have the “Summer Tour 2026” framework out in the open. Practically speaking: if you’re trying to pick one show for the season, this is the kind of tour where you buy early for the best seat options—especially in the Midwest amphitheater circuit where good reserved sections go fast once summer weather looks friendly.
Hozier: Official site shows past dates—use it as your verification check
When you’re trying to sort real tour info from noise, Hozier’s official site is the cleanest “source of truth” to verify what’s actually happened and what’s officially posted. If you’re hearing new U.S. date chatter, treat the official page as your confirmation step before you spend money or book travel.
OneRepublic: Official tour page is active—good for spotting U.S. entries as they appear
OneRepublic’s tour page is up and updating, and it’s one of those pages where U.S. dates can appear alongside international runs. If you’re in Michigan or the Upper Midwest and you don’t want to guess, this is where you check first—because it’s the fastest way to see a true onsale when it hits.
Twenty One Pilots: Their official tour page is the one that counts
For Twenty One Pilots, don’t play the aggregator game—use the band’s official tour page as your starting point for confirmed dates and ticket links. If you’re road-tripping from West Michigan, this also helps you sanity-check distances and timing before you commit to a Chicago/Indy/Detroit-style drive market show.
Lorde: “Ultrasound” tour information is showing up on major touring partners
Lorde’s “Ultrasound” world tour has verified listings through a major promoter (Frontier Touring). Even if you’re U.S.-based, it’s useful context because it indicates a structured touring cycle—so when North American legs appear, they’ll typically be posted with the same level of formal detail and ticketing infrastructure.
Bleachers: Tour dates are out via major live-industry reporting
Bleachers have 2026 tour news circulating through established live-music industry coverage, which is a good sign that this isn’t rumor mill stuff. Your move as a listener: watch for the venue-by-venue onsales to go live in your region, and double-check the show page for start times and any ticket limits before you assume it’s a simple walk-up.
Imagine Dragons: Ticketmaster listings show 2026 shows on the books
Imagine Dragons have 2026 concert listings live on Ticketmaster, which is one of the more practical ways to confirm what’s actually ticketed right now. If you’re deciding between flying and driving, those official ticket listings are the fastest way to see if a date is real, on-sale, and tied to an actual venue.
U2: The official U2 tour archive shows no new 2026 U.S. tour announcement
If you’re hunting for a fresh U2 tour announcement, the band’s official tour section is still functioning more like an archive view right now—recent major activity remains the Sphere run era. Translation for your calendar: there isn’t a new, officially posted U.S. 2026 tour routing sitting there to plan around today, so don’t book hotels on vibes.
Coldplay: Official tour page currently shows no scheduled dates
Coldplay’s official “World Tour Dates” page currently states that there are no dates scheduled. That’s the clearest possible signal to avoid third-party “tour date” bait—until it’s posted by Coldplay directly, treat anything else as unconfirmed.
Red Hot Chili Peppers: No new U.S. dates are officially posted on the main tour grid used by fans
For Red Hot Chili Peppers, a widely used tour-date hub for the band’s live history and current listings shows updates without pointing to a fresh U.S. leg announcement. If you’re hoping for Midwest shows, the practical play is patience: wait for an official band/agent/promoter posting before you make travel decisions.
CHVRCHES: Band status points toward “album in progress,” not a confirmed U.S. tour slate
CHVRCHES updates in reputable coverage have leaned more toward the band’s recording progress and timelines than a locked-in U.S. tour calendar. If you’re the type who likes to buy the second tickets drop, your best habit here is setting alerts on official channels and major ticketing platforms—because the first clean confirmation tends to land there.
West Michigan reminder: Use the venue pages for the final word on tickets
Especially with a new(ish) venue in Grand Rapids, the best way to avoid bad links and resale sticker shock is simple: start at the venue’s official event listing and follow their ticket button from there. If you’re making an evening of it, that also helps you plan arrival time, parking, and whether a midweek show is a workable drive back to the lakeshore.
