NEW YORK— Bleachers announced its 2026 tour openers on Tuesday. The slate of supporting acts included Wednesday, This Is Lorelei, and American Football. Fans expressed a mix of admiration and mild bewilderment. The Bleachers 2026 Tour promises a unique sonic journey. It was unclear if Jack Antonoff personally knew all the bands. He seemed surprised to learn of their existence.
A Masterclass In Indie Cred
Antonoff, known for his work with Taylor Swift and Lana Del Rey, curated the lineup. He apparently spent weeks scrolling through obscure music blogs. “I wanted acts that really speak to the Bleachers ethos,” Antonoff stated. “Acts that make you feel like you *get* music.” One representative for Bleachers confirmed Antonoff’s deep dives. He reportedly requested detailed biographies. He also asked for fan club mailing lists.
The People Speak
Audience members shared mixed reactions. “I love Wednesday,” said fan Brenda Jenkins. “But I wasn’t expecting them. Or This Is Lorelei.” She added, “Are these bands even real?” Another attendee, Gary Peterson, was more supportive. “It’s cool. It shows Antonoff is still trying.” He admitted, “I only know American Football.” The Bleachers 2026 Tour is certainly generating buzz. It’s a bold statement. It’s also a lot of bands.
At press time, sources close to the band confirmed Antonoff was already booking openers for the 2027 tour. He was reportedly considering a solo performance by his own car’s turn signal.
