Celebrate 30th Anniversary
March 18th, 2026 by Traci Turner
“Bringing Down the Horse,” the second album from The Wallflowers, was released in 1996, making this year its 30th anniversary. The album truly thrust Jakob Dylan and crew into the mainstream thanks to the radio love for “6th Avenue Heartache,” “The Difference,” “Three Marlenas,” and the mega hit, “One Headlight.”
The Wallflowers will spend 2026 celebrating the 30th anniversary by playing the album in full on an expansive North American tour. As if that was not enough, they will also perform Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers’ “Long After Dark.”
“Coming back after such a long time, we wanted to do something special for the 30th anniversary of Bringing Down the Horse,” Dylan said. “We decided to play what seems to be our fans’ favorite Wallflowers album, and for us, we wanted to play one of our favorite Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers records, Long After Dark.”
The trek will kick off April 17th in Portland, OR and keeps them traveling through September 6th where it closes out in Milwaukee. Despite the fact that they are hitting pretty much every state, SoCal just gets their April 26th performance at the Stagecoach Music Festival.
Dylan remains the one constant member of The Wallflowers with the last album release being 2021’s “Exit Wounds.” The band’s current roster includes Chris Masterson and Ben Peeler (guitars), Aaron Embry (keyboards), Whynot Jansveld (bass), and Mark Stepro (drums).
Tickets are on sale now, although selling out in some of the smaller venues, so get on it!
