Big Thief « Somersault Slide 360 Tour »

Big Thief brings the Somersault Slide 360 Tour to L’Olympia, Montréal on August 5, 2026. Formed in Brooklyn, the quartet of Adrianne Lenker, Buck Meek, Max Oleartchik and James Krivchenia navigates between spare folk and rougher electric textures. On stage, Lenker’s voice anchors songs that open up and tighten again, with guitar lines that fray at the edges, a rhythm section that shifts from a slow pulse to a sudden sprint, and spaces where the music breathes. The set moves across Masterpiece and Capacity, the hazier contours of U.F.O.F., the drier bite of Two Hands, and the broad palette of Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe in You.

This tour leans into the band’s live chemistry: alternate tunings, small motifs that grow into extended passages, harmonies that slide in and out, and drums that travel from brushes to hard hits. Arrangements are flexible, letting melodies reshuffle from night to night without losing their backbone. Big Thief plays with focus and room for chance, tracing a line from intimate confession to collective release, and shaping each song to fit the room at L’Olympia.
