ConcertSoft Control Tour 2026 w/ Night Moves
We Are In The Future Presents
From their 1986 inception in Cincinnati, The Afghan Whigs have never played by the rules. While their contemporaries hid behind plaid and grunge fuzz, frontman Greg Dulli and his bandmates showed up in suits, sliding into Marvin Gaye grooves rather than rehashing tired riffs. That soul-soaked alt-rock vision set them apart then and keeps them dangerous now.
The band built their reputation on the back of records like Gentlemen and 1965, trafficking in desire, betrayal, and confession with a swagger few could match. After splitting in 2001, they roared back for a 2012 reunion that headlined festivals across the globe and sold out rooms on three continents. Three more albums followed, Do to the Beast, In Spades, and How Do You Burn?, proving Dulli had plenty left to say.
In 2026 the band marks its 40th anniversary, a milestone they are hitting with a tenth album due in the summer and a North American tour that finds them firing on every cylinder. John Curley still anchors the low end alongside Dulli, and the live show remains a master class in turning their strongest material into something even bigger on stage.
