Grammy-winning artist Brandi Carlile has announced her 2026 Burn the Setlist (The All Request Tour), a unique series of U.S. concerts where fans shape the setlist in real time. The tour begins November 5 in Portland, Oregon, and spans 15 shows across intimate theaters, concluding with a three-night stand in Port Chester, New York, from December 15–17. Each performance will be phone-free, with exclusive live recordings offered to attendees post-show.
A Fan-Driven Experience
Carlile, known for her emotive folk-rock and Americana sound, is putting the spotlight on audience participation. Fans can request songs via shouts or signs, and the trio—Carlile alongside longtime collaborators Phil and Tim Hanseroth—will craft each night’s setlist on the fly. This format, previously tested during The Human Tour earlier this year, promises spontaneity, with Carlile hinting at covers and unrehearsed tracks. "We’re basically going to jam with you for a couple of hours every night," she said in a video announcement.
The tour’s venues were carefully chosen for their nostalgic value, including historic theaters like Milwaukee’s Pabst Theater and Louisville’s Palace Theater, where Carlile and the Hanseroth twins performed early in their career.
