The Tubes Tickets & 2026–2027 Tour Dates

The Tubes are an American rock band formed in San Francisco in 1972. Their music draws on theatrical rock, punk and new wave, and their best-known songs include “White Punks on Dope,” “Talk to Ya Later” and “She’s a Beauty.” Key records include the self-titled The Tubes, The Completion Backward Principle and Outside Inside.

The Tubes recorded the 1977 double album What Do You Want from Live at London’s Hammersmith Odeon, documenting the theatrical format that became central to their concerts. The full band performed songs within satirical sketches led by singer Fee Waybill, often in character. A recurring figure was Waybill’s glam-rock persona Quay Lewd, who appeared during “White Punks on Dope.”
