Brandi Carlile « The Human Tour »

Brandi Carlile brings the Human Tour to Glasgow on 19 October 2026 at OVO Hydro. Rooted in folk, Americana and indie rock, she has built a body of songs where the voice leads, the harmonies serrent les lignes, and the storytelling stays close to the bone. From the early days on the Seattle scene to a first self-titled album in 2005 and the breakthrough of The Story in 2007, her writing has grown alongside the tight interplay forged with longtime collaborators Tim and Phil Hanseroth.

On stage, Carlile moves with ease from stripped-back ballads to fuller, electric textures. The palette opened on Give Up the Ghost and Bear Creek, then stretched across The Firewatcher’s Daughter, By the Way, I Forgive You and In These Silent Days: piano-and-voice confessions, harmony-driven folk, and songs that lean into rock without losing the lyric at the center. Also active with The Highwomen and across numerous collaborations, she treats the concert format as a place to let the arrangements breathe and the stories land. In Glasgow, expect a set that threads these eras together with the same focus on songcraft and shared harmonies.
