# 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.

# Practical details for fans

  • Venue types: mostly theaters and mid-size concert halls, not stadiums — plan for seated or general-admission theater layouts.

# Takeaway

After an 18-year pause in live performances, Gnarls Barkley are staging a brief, nine-date North American tour this November to support Atlanta, their first album in nearly two decades. The schedule concentrates on mid-size venues and includes a hometown stop in Atlanta. The announcement highlights the duo's intent to frame the tour around serious themes while offering a celebratory live experience.
