The Lemonheads tour dates 2026

Recent tour reviews

• Oh lucky me, Lemonheads shows last year three.

  Early - Polished and wholesome affair

  Mid - Functional shindig, thanks Nick Saloman

  Late - Total mess, as expected. Soothing. Felt sorry for most of the audience, Mikey and Farley.

  It's easy to enjoy the music of someone that has their ups and downs when the downs don't make the album, but harder when they're in your face and you've paid good money for a ticket. If you're going to a show then recognize it's a bit of a gamble, and take comfort that you're not the type to go and see an endlessly reliable act.

  That third show was f-ing awful though.

• Here are my thoughts on the show:

  - We’ve been to the Underground a number of times now. I’m not convinced their sound system is the best, but there were no noticeable issues. It still sounds a little off to me though.

  -The band is what you can come to expect of one that’s main draw is music it originally released over two decades ago. I assume everyone else is there like me, to hear music they loved in their youth, with no expectations that it be performed to the level that it once was. All in all it was pretty good.

  -Anytime you see a show where the average age of the concert goers ticks up close to 40 or more (I’m 44), it really becomes a crap shoot as to what you might get. Crowd behavior wasn’t too bad at this show, but there were still a few people who obviously don’t get out of the house much in this way. For whatever reason, one guy was absolutely obsessed with a walk way where they ask you not to stand. He was really bothered by this. Also, there always seems to be that one couple who get really drunk and then try to reclaim their youth by dancing around quite wildly into everyone else’s space. There’s one at every show.

• The Lemonheads last night, St. Andrews Hall, Detroit. Really, this is Evan Dando's band and Evan Dando's voice is as smooth a tenor as there is, has not lost a bit of its evocative, (with a touch of melancholy), power...always with that hint of country and Graham Parsons sitting on his shoulder. This touring band is skilled, a 27 song assault that had no small talk to bridge what was effectively one song melting into the other in a stream of consciousness set. "It's a Shame About Ray" was the centerpiece album sampled, but this is a guy, Evan, and a band that has made covers of other material as strong as their own, Suzanne Vega's 'Luka' and the punked up version of Simon & Garfunkel's "Mrs. Robinson", which was not played. When others describe the Lemonheads, you hear words like, punk-rock, power rock, alternative rock, power pop and "college radio darlings". What they do is distill feelings, and not explain them to you. When I read about who Evan Dando 'spiritually' hangs out with; Juliana Hatfield, Oasis, Yo La Tengo, Lucinda Williams, Graham Parsons, The Dandy Warhols, and that several years ago, (for Detroit fans), he sang lead vocals on an MC5 tour, you realize this is a complex guy who sings in a voice that runs up and down your spine. He hit a road bump in the 90's with drugs, but there was no evidence of that last night. What was evident, as the audience filled in as harmony on the third encore song, "Into Your Arms", The Lemonheads are a compelling show, with perfect execution of songs, and the heart of Evan Dando is shrouded outside of giving you what you came for.....
