The Wallflowers Announce 30th Anniversary Tour for Bringing Down the Horse
The Wallflowers will mark the 30th anniversary of their landmark album Bringing Down the Horse with a nationwide U.S. tour kicking off April 17, 2026. The band will perform their classic album in its entirety, in sequence. The tour will also include a performance at Stagecoach, the world’s largest country music festival. Originally released on May 21, 1996, Bringing Down the Horse was a critical and commercial triumph. The album peaked at number four on the Billboard 200 and was certified quadruple platinum, cementing the band’s place in ‘90s rock history.
The LP yielded four hit singles:
- “6th Avenue Heartache” – Two Grammy nominations (1997)
- “One Headlight” – Reached #1 on the Billboard singles chart, winning two Grammy Awards (1998).
The song ranked #58 on Rolling Stone’s “100 Greatest Pop Songs.” - “The Difference” – Grammy nomination (1998) “Three Marlenas” – Released as the album’s final single in October 1997
Influenced by a slew of first‑generation American songwriters, including The Band and Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, The Wallflowers are now building on that legacy. As a result, they’ll also pay tribute to the 50th anniversary of Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers by performing Petty’s 1982 album Long After Dark in its entirety on the upcoming tour.
Echo in the Canyon
Jakob Dylan, the band’s chief songwriter, remains a vital performer in American rock music. In 2002, he further underscored that influence by inducting Tom Petty into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Later, in 2018, he expanded his creative reach by performing in the critically acclaimed documentary Echo in the Canyon, which featured collaborations with artists ranging from Neil Young and Eric Clapton to Beck, Cat Power, Norah Jones, and Regina Spektor.
Dylan also contributed songs to several soundtracks, including The Wallflowers’ cover of “Heroes” for the 1998 Godzilla film, “Arms of a Ghost” for the television series NCIS: Los Angeles, and “Nothing But the Whole Wide World” for Friday Night Lights. In addition, The Wallflowers supported Eric Clapton on his 2025 U.S. tour—continuing a relationship they had built on past collaborations—and they also joined supporting bills for both The Who and The Rolling Stones.
