Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats today confirm a series of brand-new tour dates for the second and third leg of their first arena tour, including performances in Los Angeles at the Kia Forum, Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena and a slew of performances in Canada including at Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena. The tour includes a landmark show at Madison Square Garden. See full schedule below.

The tour celebrates Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats’ fourth full-length studio album, South of Here, out now via Stax. The smash single “Heartless” from the album hit #1 at Mediabase Triple A and Billboard Adult Alternative charts, marking the band’s 7th #1 single to date. Watch the music video directed by award winning Kimberly Stuckwisch here and see the band perform the single on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, here.
The band also recorded a special for Howard Stern, in which they performed select songs from the record as well as a cover of “Dancing in the Dark” by Bruce Springsteen. Stern praises, “There’s this amazing musician, Nathaniel Rateliff…super talented, and this guy’s got a great voice too. You know who they remind me of? The Band. They’re that good.” The special aired on Sirius XM H101 and is available for viewing in full in the Howard Stern app—watch the Bruce Springsteen cover here.
The announcement of the new tour dates comes following Rateliff’s selection as the first ever Newport Folk Steward, the first artist to hold such a role at the legendary festival since Pete Seeger. The position holds a three-year term, which will see Rateliff serving as Steward actively for two years and advising the next recipient during a third transition year. Rateliff has chosen to devote his term to artist advocacy, fellowship and mentorship both at the Fort and beyond.
