Patti Smith has announced a tour celebrating the 50th anniversary of her landmark album Horses, during which she’ll perform the record in full across Europe, the UK, and the US in fall 2025.
Accompanying Smith on the tour will be guitarist Lenny Kaye and drummer Jay Dee Daugherty, both of whom played on Horses. Her live band will also feature keyboardist/bassist Tony Shanahan and guitarist Jackson Smith.
An artist ticket pre-sale is set for Wednesday, February 12th at 10:00 a.m. local time via Ticketmaster, with a public on-sale following on Friday, February 14th at 10:00 a.m. local time.
The upcoming tour will mark Smith’s first time playing Horses in full in 20 years. “Please join us to help celebrate the final ride of our irreverent thoroughbred,” she said in a press release.
Prior to the tour’s kick-off, Smith will be honored on March 26th with a tribute concert at New York’s Carnegie Hall, featuring Michael Stipe, Kim Gordon, Matt Berninger of The National, Karen O of Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Angel Olsen, Sharon Van Etten, and many more.
In 2022, Consequence named Smith’s Horses the 17th greatest album of all time.
