If you have been looking for an excuse to make the Burlington run this fall, here it is. Clutch lands at Higher Ground on Tuesday, November 3, 2026 at 7:30 PM — and if you have seen this band live before, you already know you do not need much more convincing than that.
About Clutch
Clutch has been doing this for decades, and they have never softened the approach. The Maryland-based heavy rock outfit built one of the most devoted touring audiences in rock not through radio saturation but through relentless road work and the kind of stage power that turns a 750-cap ballroom into a very loud, very good evening. Their sound pulls from heavy rock, blues, and a strain of American psychedelia that does not fit neatly into any single box — which makes them genuinely interesting at volume. This is not a nostalgia act. It is a band that knows exactly what it is doing and does it better with every run.
Support on this date comes from Slomosa and Blood Vulture. Three bands, one room, early November in Vermont. Clear your Wednesday morning.
The Venue
Higher Ground sits on Williston Road in South Burlington — worth noting because it is not in the walkable downtown core, so plan your evening before you get there. The Ballroom holds 750, which is a strong size for a show like this: close enough to feel the room move, big enough that you are not fighting for space all night.
Higher Ground is one of the better rooms in the North Country for exactly this kind of booking, and the Ballroom handles a loud rock show the way it should. If you are making the drive from upstate New York, the Adirondacks, or coming up from the Capital Region, bank the extra time — Burlington in early November means checking the forecast before you leave. A Green Mountain crossing on a bad night can add an hour you did not budget for.
Tickets & Info
Tickets start at $124. Clutch fans move fast on dates like this, and Burlington draws from a wide net — upstate New York, New Hampshire, Quebec. Do not assume you have time to think about it.
