Westerman‘s new album A Jackal’s Wedding is out November 7 and he’s just announced a 2026 tour in support. North American dates begin March 16 in Atlanta and wrap April 1 in Salt Lake City. Before that he’ll open for Nation of Language on West Coast dates starting October 8 in Vancouver. All dates are listed below.
The NYC show is at Music Hall of Williamsburg on March 21 and tickets for all 2026 dates go on sale Friday, October 3 at 10 AM local time.
Meanwhile, Westerman has shared a new single from the album, “About Leaving,” which is both melancholic and groovy. “I wrote the lyrics in different places: London, America and Greece,” he says. “They were always written in a fleeting way, and that became an animating principle of what kind of imagery is contained. There are different ways of looking at that, right? You can look at that from the perspective of loss, or you can look at it from the perspective of opportunity, or you can look at it from the perspective of excitement or fear. I tried to play around with all of those things in an enveloping way. I was reading The Rime of the Ancient Mariner over and over and I had an image of this person on the sea, not understanding where they’re going and not in control of anything, but unlike in the poem, finding that exciting and enjoying it for what it is.”
You can watch the “About Leaving” video below.
