Yo La Tengo has announced the 2026 edition of their annual Hanukkah run at Bowery Ballroom, happening December 4-11.
Tickets go on presale Wednesday, July 22 at 10 AM and any remaining tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, July 24 at 10 AM.
If you’re unfamiliar with this much-loved NYC holiday tradition, each of the eight nights features a surprise comedian and musical artist as opening acts, and Yo La Tengo have guests during their main set — no repeated songs through run — and then usually more surprises during the all-covers encore. You don’t know who’s playing till you show up that night, and proceeds go to different charities.
Last year’s run included Jeff Tweedy, Lucinda Williams, This is Lorelei, Patti Harrison, Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, Scrawl, Built to Spill, Sun Ra Arkestra, Susanna Hoffs and more.
Those are the only upcoming dates for Yo La Tengo. Check out photos from their 2025 Hanukkah run below.
