Lyle Lovett has unveiled a slew of dates to his extensive 2025 tour. The legendary singer, who is currently on the road with his Acoustic Group, will take his Large Band out on the road for a summer run across the U.S.

Both the Acoustic Group and the Large Band are anchored by bass heavyweight Leland Sklar. The session ace has been working with Lovett for decades, back to the original Large Band album in 1989.

The Large Band dates kick off on June 19th on the West Coast. Over the next three months, they’ll cross the States to finally wind up in Vienna, Virginia, at Wolf Trap on August 7th.
