Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit turn up the heat on 2026 North American tour – here’s everything you need to know before you hit the doors.
Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit are hitting their stride on the 2026 North American tour, proving live once again that the stage is where they truly shine
From the driving ‘Crimson and Clay’ to the heart-wrenching ‘Elephant,’ setlists trace Isbell’s journey from Drive-By Truckers mainstay to solo powerhouse, blending tracks from the acoustic-leaning Foxes in the Snow with staples from Weathervanes and Southeastern.
Shows typically open with ’24 Frames’ and ‘Stockholm,’ before moving into emotional peaks like ‘Alabama Pines’ and ‘Traveling Alone’.
The rockers and covers – epic ‘Decoration Day’ duels included—show off the 400 Unit’s tight, adventurous chemistry, while encores like ‘Cover Me Up,’ I’f We Were Vampires’ and classic-rock nods keep fans hooked until the final note.
With Anna Butterss on bass and occasional guest appearances at Radio City Music Hall and Red Rocks, the band balances raw energy with precise musicianship, turning even familiar songs into sprawling, 10-minute live journeys.
