Alabama Shakes are back — and they’re playing Bethel Woods Center for the Arts on Friday, September 4, 2026 at 7:00 PM. If you’ve been waiting for this comeback, you already know what this means. If you haven’t, pay attention.
About Alabama Shakes
Alabama Shakes went quiet after Sound & Color — a record that won four Grammys and cemented Brittany Howard as one of the most electrifying frontpeople in modern rock. The hiatus felt indefinite. Brittany Howard released a stunning solo album, the other members pursued their own projects, and fans waited. Now the band is back, and the anticipation is massive. Their sound — a collision of blues, rock, soul, and something harder to name — hit a nerve that most bands never find. Seeing them live, especially in a comeback setting, is going to be something people talk about for years.
If you need to get caught up — or just want to relive it — Alabama Shakes on Amazon is the move. Sound & Color and Boys & Girls are both essential.
The Venue
Bethel Woods on the original Woodstock site is the kind of venue that amplifies a moment — and Alabama Shakes returning to the stage is exactly that kind of moment. The pavilion and lawn seating at Bethel Woods give you options, but for a show like this, being close to the stage is worth the ticket upgrade. The drive through the Hudson Valley sets the tone before you even arrive. Full Bethel Woods venue guide here.
