Squirrel Nut Zippers Tickets
Few bands did more to fuel the 1990s swing revival than this Chapel Hill, North Carolina group, which formed in 1993 around hot jazz, Dixieland, blues, and klezmer. Their 1996 album Hot went Platinum and produced the hit "Hell," and the band sold more than three million records before the decade closed. Onstage, led by founder Jimbo Mathus, they play like a theatrical speakeasy stocked with horns, strings, and vintage costumes. See the Squirrel Nut Zippers at Event Tickets Center.

The 2026 Christmas Caravan run opens on December 2, 2026, at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach, California, and closes on December 20, 2026, at Capital City Music Hall in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Between those two coasts, the Squirrel Nut Zippers tour threads through theaters and clubs with a holiday set. This year's Caravan follows the band's 2026 shows marking thirty years of Hot, and it leans into the festive, second-line spirit the Caravan is known for, where the night often ends with the whole group parading out through the crowd.
Squirrel Nut Zippers Set List and Concert Info
When the band played the Gothic Theatre in Englewood in 2025, the Squirrel Nut Zippers songs on the setlist spanned their whole run, opening with "Put a Lid on It" and "Suits Are Picking Up the Bill" before landing the signature hit "Hell" and the eerie "Ghost of Stephen Foster." "Bad Businessman" added a swaggering strut late in the set. A typical night runs around 90 minutes, trading horn-driven jump numbers with slower, torchy ballads, comedic interludes, and Dr. Sick's fiddle features, all delivered in full period costume.
