Staind frontman Aaron Lewis has announced a return to the road this fall with a new solo acoustic tour. The 12-date “Acoustic Origins” tour is set to kick off on November 4 in Lubbock, Texas.
The announcement also included details on how fans can access early ticket sales for the upcoming shows.
“The Acoustic Origins Tour brings a whole new way to experience the music this November,” Aaron Lewis said. “Pre-Sale goes live TOMORROW at 10am local with code: ORIGINS26.”
Fans looking to secure tickets ahead of the general public are encouraged to use the provided code when the pre-sale opens. The full run of dates paints a picture of a stripped-down trek that will carry Lewis across the South and Midwest through late November.
The Acoustic Origins Tour is an intimate series of solo acoustic performances, with Lewis bringing his voice, acoustic guitar, and signature storytelling to theaters and civic venues across the country. After the Lubbock opener, the tour heads to Pueblo, Colorado on November 5, Cheyenne, Wyoming on November 6, and Rapid City, South Dakota on November 7. It then continues through the South with stops in Lafayette, Louisiana on November 11, Memphis, Tennessee on November 12, Macon, Georgia on November 13, and Knoxville, Tennessee on November 14.
The tour closes out with four more dates: Mobile, Alabama on November 18, Beaumont, Texas on November 19, Bossier City, Louisiana on November 20, and a final show in Quapaw, Oklahoma on November 21.
General public tickets for several stops, including the Macon date at the Macon City Auditorium, go on sale Friday, August 28 at 10am local time. This aligns with the pre-sale window Lewis referenced in his announcement. Venues booked for the run include theaters, civic auditoriums, and casino showrooms. This underscores the acoustic format’s emphasis on smaller, more personal settings compared to Staind’s full-band arena shows.
Lewis has kept a busy touring schedule this year, splitting his time between solo acoustic dates and full-band performances. The Acoustic Origins run gives fans a chance to hear his catalog reimagined in a scaled-back format ahead of any further Staind activity.
