Swans Tickets & 2026–2027 Tour Dates

Swans are an American experimental rock band formed in New York City in 1982 by singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Michael Gira. Early records such as Filth and Cop established their severe, repetitive noise rock, while Children of God, White Light from the Mouth of Infinity and Soundtracks for the Blind expanded the music toward folk, orchestral textures and long-form composition. To Be Kind is among the central albums of their post-2010 period.

The 1997 farewell tour was documented on the live album Swans Are Dead, released after the group disbanded. Michael Gira reactivated Swans in 2010 and led successive lineups on tours supporting My Father Will Guide Me up a Rope to the Sky, The Seer and The Glowing Man, playing clubs, theatres and festivals. They also performed at Primavera Sound in Barcelona and Roadburn Festival in Tilburg.
