Ratboys Tickets
Formed at Notre Dame in 2010 and now based in Chicago, the Ratboys band pairs jangly guitars and a touch of alt-country with the plainspoken songwriting of singer-guitarist Julia Steiner. Their 2023 album The Window earned wide praise, and its follow-up, Singin' to an Empty Chair, arrived in 2026 to keep the momentum going. Live, the band shifts easily between hushed confessionals and loud, cathartic peaks. Get Ratboys tickets at Event Tickets Center.
Ratboys Tour Dates
The 2026 When the Sun Explodes Tour, supporting Singin' to an Empty Chair, keeps the Ratboys tour busy through the summer and into the fall festival season. A key stop brings the band to the Aggie Theatre in Fort Collins, Colorado on August 16, 2026, part of an August run through the Midwest. Beyond the headline dates, the group has festival appearances lined up in Europe and Mexico later in the year. Their 2026 headline shows have filled mid-size clubs and theaters with devoted crowds who know the words.
Ratboys Set List and Concert Info
A typical Ratboys setlist pulls from across their catalog, and their 2026 show at Terminal West in Atlanta was no exception, running through "Black Earth, WI," "Morning Zoo," the wistful "It's Alive!", the title track "The Window," and the raucous "Elvis Is in the Freezer." Sets tend to run around 90 minutes, moving between quiet storytelling and loud surges. Steiner's stage asides and the band's easy chemistry give the shows a loose, welcoming feel, and the newer songs have slotted in comfortably next to the older singles, giving longtime fans and newcomers a full picture in one night.
