Chicago’s rising indie-rock outfit The Back Alley are gearing up for their biggest headline tour yet, announcing the Back At Home Tour, which will bring the five-piece across the Midwest and East Coast in early 2027. The run will culminate in a special hometown performance at Chicago’s Outset on February 20, where the band will celebrate the release of their upcoming debut album. Joining them throughout the tour will be Six Foot Blonde and The Band Solstice. Tickets go on sale Friday, November 6, at 10 a.m. local time.
The tour follows the announcement of the band’s first full-length record, Back At Home, arriving January 22. Alongside the album announcement, the group introduced fans to its next chapter with the release of new single “Pick Me Up.” The track bridges the band’s familiar guitar-driven melodies and infectious hooks with a more developed, expansive sound that reflects how far they’ve come creatively. The band describes it as a meeting point between their earlier material, including “Brand New” and “Neon Jeans,” and the direction they’ve embraced on the new record.
Before heading out on their own headline run, The Back Alley will spend the remainder of 2026 on the road supporting DICE and The Stews, keeping the momentum going ahead of an exciting new year. With a debut album, fresh music, and their largest tour to date on the horizon, 2027 is shaping up to be an important chapter for the Chicago five-piece.
