# Context and timeline
Gnarls Barkley last performed live on September 28, 2008, at Austin City Limits. The duo then entered an extended hiatus. In March 2026 they released Atlanta, their first record since 2008's The Odd Couple. The November tour is the first time the pair will play a string of live shows together since that long break.
Multiple music outlets reported the tour announcement and published the full itinerary, ticketing windows, and related details. Presales for the tour were scheduled to begin on September 21, with general ticket sales set for September 24 at 10 a.m. local time, according to coverage.
