What to expect at Brand New’s The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me tour: Full setlist, start timeand more

Some albums stay with you long after the final track. For Brand New fans, The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me is one of them.

Twenty years after its release, the band’s landmark 2006 album is getting a full live celebration. Brand New’s “7 Years + 13 of The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me in Concert” tour features all 12 songs from the album, along with songs from Deja Entendu, Your Favorite Weapon, Daisy and Science Fiction.

With several shows already completed, fans have a clearer picture of what to expect. Recent performances have featured roughly two hours of music, Brand New taking the stage around 8:15 to 8:25 p.m. and a setlist that stretches well beyond the anniversary album.

Heading to an upcoming show? Here is what to know about the 2026 tour, including the current setlist, opening acts, start time, concert length, encore structure, arrival tips and how to find Brand New tickets on SeatGeek.

Ultimate guide to Brand New's The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me

Brand New’s 2026 shows are not simply a greatest-hits set.

The performance is built around three chapters of the band’s career. The show opens with songs from Deja Entendu, moves into a complete performance of The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me and closes with selections from the band’s wider catalog.

For longtime fans, the centerpiece is hearing all 12 songs from The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me performed in their original sequence. The surrounding sections add songs from Your Favorite Weapon, Daisy and Science Fiction, although those selections can change from one concert to the next.

The tour also marks Brand New’s return to live performances after several years away from the stage.

Brand New 2026 tour dates and schedule

Brand New’s current North American tour continues through Saturday, Nov. 14, 2026. The remaining schedule includes general admission venues, historic theaters, amphitheaters and larger arenas.

What time does Brand New go onstage?

Brand New has been taking the stage between approximately 8:15 and 8:25 p.m. local time at recent concerts with an 8 p.m. start time. That timing is not a guarantee for every city, though.

Because the tour does not use a traditional opening act at every stop, arriving late could mean missing the beginning of the performance. Check your event listing and venue information before show day.

How long is a Brand New concert?

Recent Brand New concerts have run approximately two hours and five minutes to two hours and 15 minutes.

The concert is divided into several sections, so pauses or curtain changes do not necessarily mean the performance is over.

Brand New 2026 tour setlist

Brand New is performing The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me in full.

The band has typically opened with songs from Deja Entendu, performed all 12 tracks from the anniversary album and closed with selections from Daisy, Science Fiction and Your Favorite Weapon.

The setlist below is based on Brand New’s Oct. 9, 2026 performance at Coca-Cola Coliseum in Toronto. The complete anniversary album has been consistent, but songs outside that portion have varied between shows.

This is a documented recent performance rather than a guaranteed running order. Brand New can change the songs outside the anniversary album at any time.

Does Brand New play The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me in full?

Yes.

The 2026 tour features all 12 tracks from The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me in sequence. That means fans hear more than the album’s most recognizable songs.

The full-album section moves from the explosive opening of “Sowing Season” through “Jesus Christ,” “Degausser,” “Limousine,” “Luca” and “Untitled” before concluding with “Handcuffs.”

The format also gives deeper cuts such as “Welcome to Bangkok,” “Not the Sun” and “The Archers Bows Have Broken” a central place in the show.

Does Brand New play older songs like “Sic Transit Gloria” and “Seventy Times 7”?

Yes.

The anniversary tour includes substantial material outside The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me. Recent performances have opened with songs from Deja Entendu, including “Sic Transit Gloria... Glory Fades,” “The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows” and “Okay I Believe You, But My Tommy Gun Don’t.”

The final section has also included songs from Your Favorite Weapon, such as “Jude Law and a Semester Abroad” and “Seventy Times 7.”

Those selections are not identical every night. One recent Chicago performance included “Play Crack the Sky” and “Mix Tape,” while the Toronto show featured “Soco Amaretto Lime” and “Failure by Design.”

Fans hoping to hear a specific deep cut should keep their expectations flexible. The complete anniversary album is the consistent centerpiece, while the surrounding songs can change.

Does Brand New have an encore?

Brand New’s current concert format includes several sections separated by pauses and curtain changes. The shows have not followed a consistently documented traditional encore structure.

At the Toronto performance, the curtain lowered after part of the album performance and again after songs from Daisy. The band then continued with material from Science Fiction before closing with songs from Your Favorite Weapon.

The final portion included “Soco Amaretto Lime,” “Failure by Design,” “Jude Law and a Semester Abroad” and “Seventy Times 7.” Other shows have used different closing songs.

The important takeaway is that a curtain drop or pause does not necessarily mean the concert is over. Stay in your seat until the venue or production indicates that the performance has ended.

What is Brand New’s 2026 concert production like?

Brand New’s current production focuses on the music and uses each section of the setlist to guide the concert’s progression.

The show includes a dedicated opening section for Deja Entendu, the complete The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Meperformance and a final stretch drawn from the band’s other albums.

Reported performances have also included curtain changes between sections. These transitions help separate the different portions of the show without requiring a traditional opening act or lengthy intermission.

Fans should expect a loud and emotionally charged alternative-rock performance rather than a production built around elaborate choreography or nonstop visual effects. The show relies on contrasts between quiet passages, explosive guitars and extended instrumental sections.

For fans who know the albums front to back, part of the appeal is hearing songs that have not always been regular fixtures of Brand New’s live shows.

When should I arrive for Brand New’s concert?

For most fans, arriving 60 to 90 minutes before the scheduled concert start is a reasonable plan. That allows time for security, ticket scanning, merchandise, refreshments and finding your section before Brand New begins.

For an 8 p.m. show, arriving between 6:30 and 7 p.m. gives you additional time to get settled. Fans with reserved seats may be comfortable arriving closer to doors, while general admission ticket holders may want to arrive earlier depending on the venue and expected demand.

These are planning recommendations rather than official entry times. Barclays Center, for example, has listed doors at 7 p.m. for its Oct. 12 concert. Other venues may follow different schedules.

What should I bring to a Brand New concert?

Keep it simple.

Bring your mobile ticket and a fully charged phone. Check your delivery instructions before leaving home, especially if your tickets require acceptance through another ticketing platform.

A small venue-approved bag, photo ID, payment card and comfortable shoes cover most of the essentials. Earplugs are also a smart addition, particularly if you are standing near the speakers or attending a general admission show. A portable charger can help if the venue allows one.

For outdoor or partially outdoor venues, check the weather before leaving. October evenings can be cool in some tour cities, so a lightweight layer may be useful.

Avoid oversized bags, outside food or drinks, professional camera equipment and other prohibited items unless the venue explicitly allows them. Each stop has its own entry rules, so review the venue’s bag policy before arriving.

What should I wear to a Brand New concert?

There is no dress code for Brand New’s 2026 tour, but vintage tour shirts, album merchandise and understated alternative-rock outfits are natural choices for the occasion.

A Brand New shirt from the Deja Entendu era or a favorite band tee is an easy option, especially for fans attending the anniversary shows.

Comfort should come first, particularly at general admission venues. Choose shoes you can stand in for several hours and clothing that fits the weather and venue temperature.
