The Holdup Tickets
Despite the name, The Holdup band is really the solo project of Michael Garmany, a San Jose artist who writes, produces, and performs everything himself. His sound pulls reggae, R&B, and hip-hop into groovy, melodic pop, and he has earned a cult following and more than 60 million streams along the way. Live, that studio work turns into a loose, full-band party. Get your The Holdup tickets at Event Tickets Center and hear why that following runs so deep.
The Holdup Tour Dates
The BUYING TIME Tour keeps Garmany on the road through October 2026, hitting compact clubs where his groove-heavy set lands best. The California leg includes an August 27, 2026 date in Roseville at Goldfield Trading Post, and the Pacific Northwest run brings him to Portland for a night at Mississippi Studios. His 2024 headline run packed similar rooms across the country, building the reputation that fills these venues now. The Holdup tour rewards fans who like their reggae grooves loose and delivered up close.
The Holdup Set List and Concert Info
His 2024 set at Austin's Mohawk ran about 95 minutes and moved across the catalog, opening with "Way Too High" and "Money Don't Mean a Thing" before rolling through "Dumb Luck," "Neighborhood," and "Almost Famous." The night mixed reggae-leaning grooves with slower, soulful cuts and a string of crowd singalongs. Between songs, Garmany kept it conversational, closer to a backyard party than a staged concert. Expect a similar flow now: hooks up front, a live band filling out the sound, and plenty of space for the room to carry a chorus.

There are not many artists who can turn a one-person studio project into a room full of people shouting every word, but that is the draw of a Holdup show. The songs are easy to love on record, yet the loose, communal energy of the live set is where they open up. This run is the best chance in a while to catch that in a small room. Grab your seats at Event Tickets Center and turn an ordinary night into a singalong.
