Lucy Dacus writes songs that feel like she is reading from your own diary, and on Thursday, July 23, 2026, she brings that catalog to Courtyard D at MASS MoCA. The Forever Is A Feeling Tour is built for outdoor summer nights, and this North Adams date is one of the July bookings that earns its spot on every what are you driving to this summer list.
About Lucy Dacus
The tour supports Forever Is A Feeling, Dacus’s fourth LP, released in 2025 with an expanded version arriving that fall. Variety took notice and the record charted across multiple Billboard tallies — confirmation that the audience for her plainspoken, guitar-driven indie rock keeps widening.
One detail worth flagging before you buy: $1 from every ticket goes to The Ally Coalition, the nonprofit Dacus partners with to support organizations serving queer and trans youth. Smidley joins the full July run as support, so plan to be in your seat when the openers start — this is not a co-bill to drift into late.
MASS MoCA — Courtyard D, Outdoors
The show is set in Courtyard D, MASS MoCA’s outdoor configuration, tucked into the museum’s North Adams campus in the Berkshires. This is Dacus’s first return to MASS MoCA since she played Courtney Barnett’s 2022 festival on the same grounds, and it is the kind of evening where the show, the surrounding art campus, and the walk back to your car all become part of the same night.
If you are coming from the Capital Region or further west in Upstate, build the drive in. North Adams is the kind of destination that rewards arriving with daylight to spare — the campus itself is worth a walk before the music starts, and you do not want to be the person sprinting from the lot at 7:55.
Tickets & Show Info
Tickets are $60 in advance and step up to $70 the week of show, so the savings for committing early are real. The set starts at 8:00 PM. With Smidley opening the full July run, ticket revenue partially routed to The Ally Coalition, and Dacus touring behind one of her most acclaimed records to date, this is a Thursday-night drive east that earns the gas money.
