Sara Bareilles The Good Grief Tour: Full schedule and ticket information

Few artists can sit behind a piano and make an entire room feel like they're the only person being sung to. Sara Bareilles has been doing exactly that for nearly two decades, building a catalog that stretches from 'Love Song' to 'Brave' to her Tony-nominated work writing "Waitress" on Broadway. "The Good Grief Tour" puts one of the most emotionally compelling live performers of her generation inside the kind of rooms that were built for exactly this.

Sara Bareilles is bringing "The Good Grief Tour" to 16 cities across the U.S. and Canada this fall, running from September through October 2026. The tour follows the release of her upcoming album, Good Grief, which is due out August 28, giving fans their first chance to hear new material live alongside longtime favorites. The routing reads like a wish list of legendary theaters: Radio City Music Hall, The Chicago Theatre, Massey Hall and two nights at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood. With a compact theater-focused routing, the best seats could move quickly. The tour name itself — "Good Grief" — hints at the kind of emotionally layered, deeply personal material that has defined her best work. If you've been waiting for the right moment to see her live, this is it.

What to expect at a Sara Bareilles "Good Grief Tour" show

If you've never seen Sara Bareilles live, here's what you're walking into.

• Vibe and energy: Intimate, emotionally resonant and deeply personal. She talks to the audience, not at them, and the connection in the room is palpable from the first note. There's a warmth to her stage presence that makes a 3,000-seat theater feel like a living room.

• Production: Theater-sized venues suggest a more stripped-down, piano-forward production. The focus will likely be on the music and the moment rather than pyrotechnics or massive LED walls — and that's exactly where Sara Bareilles is at her best.

• Setlist expectations: While the official setlist has not been announced, fans can expect a mix of new music from "Good Grief" and favorites from across Sara Bareilles’s catalog. Songs like “Love Song,” “Brave,” “Gravity,” “King of Anything” and “She Used to Be Mine” are the kind of staples that often define a Sara Bareilles live show, with room for deeper cuts, piano-led moments and the kind of audience singalongs that make her concerts feel personal.

• Show length: Typically 90 minutes to two hours with encores.

• Fan tips: Arrive early because merch lines move and theater venues fill up fast. For shows with reserved seating, sightlines matter more than positioning. SeatGeek's View from Seat feature lets you preview your exact view before you buy, which is especially useful in multi-level rooms like The Chicago Theatre or Radio City Music Hall.
