Progressive psychedelic rock band Elder have announced a spring 2027 North American headlining tour, featuring rescheduled dates from their postponed fall 2026 run alongside several newly added shows.
The 14-date trek will begin April 2 in Cleveland, Ohio, and make stops in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, New York City, Chicago, Denver and other cities before concluding April 22 in Seattle. Blackwater Holylight will provide support on all dates except the final show.
Elder were forced to cancel the remainder of their North American tour in September after bassist Jack Donovan was hospitalized with a serious medical emergency. Doctors subsequently discovered a congenital heart condition, which required Donovan to undergo open-heart surgery.
With Donovan recovering, the band are preparing to return to the road in support of their latest album, Through Zero.
“We’re happy to announce that all dates from that run have now been rescheduled, along with a handful of new shows,” Elder said in a statement. “We look forward to having Blackwater Holylight back on the road with us and seeing you at a show soon!”
Previously purchased tickets will remain valid for the corresponding rescheduled performances, including shows that have moved to larger venues at Chicago’s Metro and Denver’s Oriental Theater.
Elder released their six-track album Through Zero on May 29, 2026, through Blues Funeral Recordings in North America, Stickman Records in Europe and the UK, and Bird’s Robe Records in Australia. Recorded in Berlin during 2025, the album was self-produced by the band and co-mixed with longtime collaborator Richard Behrens.
