2026 will mark the 17^th year of the highly successful, hit-filled summer package, THE “HAPPY TOGETHER” TOUR.  The touring sensation that has crisscrossed the nation delighting audiences for over a decade and a half returns this summer with a show full of chart-topping hits from the ‘60s and ‘70s – an undeniable 60+ BILLBOARD Top 40 smashes.

Joining THE “HAPPY TOGETHER” TOUR 2026 are THE ASSOCIATION, who enjoyed massive radio success in the ‘60s, with such #1 hits as “Cherish,” “Windy,” “Never My Love,” and “Along Comes Mary”.  This iconic vocal group was a staple on the radio airways in the 1960’s.

We are proud to be debuting for the first time on THE “HAPPY TOGETHER” TOUR…THE TROGGS. They bring their signature English beat along with all of their Solid Gold Hits.  Their most famous songs include the U.S. chart-topper “Wild Thing,” “With a Girl Like You,” and “Love Is All Around,” all of which sold over 1 million copies and were awarded gold discs.  “Wild Thing” is ranked No. 257 on the Rolling Stone magazine’s list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time and was an influence on garage rock and punk rock.

Making his first appearance on THE “HAPPY TOGETHER” TOUR is CHICAGO lead singer 1985-2016 JASON SCHEFF with such chart topping 1970s Hits as “25 or 6 to 4,” “Just You And Me,” “If You Leave Me Now,” and “Feeling Stronger Every Day.”  In mid-1985, 23-year-old Scheff joined the multiplatinum band Chicago.  His lead vocals were debuted on the 1986 single “25 or 6 to 4,” a remake of their 1970 hit, then followed up with “Will You Still Love Me?”  Jason remained Chicago’s Lead Singer for over 3 decades…incredible!

We are thrilled to have GARY PUCKETT back on THE “HAPPY TOGETHER” TOUR.  Gary’s trademark voice will be belting out his hits one more time.  Fans will affectionately remember “Young Girl,” “Over You,” “Woman, Woman,” “This Girl Is A Woman Now,” “Lady Willpower,” “Don’t Give In To Him” and more.

Another new addition to our Touring Family is THE FORTUNES, direct from Birmingham, England.  The Fortunes first came to prominence and international acclaim in 1965, when “You’ve Got Your Troubles” broke into the U.S., Canadian and U.K. Top 10s.  Afterwards they had a succession of hits including “Here It Comes Again” and “Here Comes That Rainy Day Feeling Again”; continuing into the 1970s with more global success.

RON DANTE was the lead singer of THE ARCHIES. The Archies, who were best known for the classic #1 hit of 1969, “Sugar, Sugar.”  Other big Archie’s Hit Songs include “Bang-Shang-A-Lang” and “Jingle Jangle.”  Ron Dante had another top 10 hit in the summer of 1969 with “Tracy.”  Ron famously was the lead singer of THE TURTLES from 2018 through 2025.  He will continue to lead audience and the rest of the Artists on the Tour into our signature finale with the Tour’s theme song “HAPPY TOGETHER.”

THE VOGUES are universally acknowledged for their harmony-driven soaring pop sound.  They had numerous Top 10 hits with singles such as “Five O’clock World,” “You’re The One,” “My Special Angel,” and “Turn Around Look At Me,” among others.  Vocally incredible and awe-inspiring…The Vogues.

The tour has played more than 50 plus shows every year and THE “HAPPY TOGETHER TOUR” 2026 will be no exception.

Today, LA-based band Dogstar (guitarist/vocalist Bret Domrose, drummer Robert Mailhouse and bassist Keanu Reeves) announce their return with their 4^th studio album All In Now, produced by Nick Launay (IDLES, Amyl and the Sniffers, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds), via their own label Dillon Street Records. “The album really sets up the energy at the heart of this album and the fun that we’ve always had playing together,” Robert Mailhouse shares. “We couldn’t fucking wait,” Keanu Reeves says about Dogstar’s collective desire to get right back to the studio. “Personally, I loved it all. For me, the attitude was like, ‘let’s work hard and let’s GO.’” “It felt like our last album was our ticket into a party,” says Bret Domrose. “And now we’ve shown up to the party – the three of us.” All In Now is available to pre-order and pre-save on all formats here.

The band, who Rolling Stone hailed for their “sleek, post-grunge alt-rock” share the first cut off the album, the eponymous “All In Now.” “‘All In Now’ just whacks you in the head,” Mailhouse shares, “talk about a live song. Keanu came up with the title for that song too, and it sort of summed up where and who we are as a band today. It just feels true to us. We’re leaning in, and we are going to keep going.” “And this is a good song to lean into” Reeves adds, “so, we really are all in now.” Listen to “All In Now” here and watch the music video, directed by Carlos Garcia Medina, here.

Their 25-Date “All In Now” North American tour is set to kick off on May 28^th in cities including Austin, Nashville, Washington DC, Philadelphia, New York City and more (full dates below). Tickets and VIP for these dates will go on sale here Friday, Mar 13 at 10am local time (with the exception of the 8/15 Mashantucket date which will go on-sale Friday, March 20 at 10am ET). Previously announced European tour and festival dates are on sale now.

Dogstar is a brotherhood – a group of three men with multiple talents who combined, have created a sound and energy that is greater than the sum of its parts. After being dormant for 20 years, the California-based trio reunited in 2023 to release their celebrated album, Somewhere Between the Power Lines and Palm Trees, which SPIN called “honest and inspired,” and “fully reflects these three guys, the stories of their lives over the last three decades, and exactly who they are.” Their new album pushes them further, with a unified and self-assured album forged by their time on the road, touring both in America and around the world, playing everywhere from sweaty rock clubs to giant festivals. Mailhouse remembers, “Just seeing the smiles on people’s faces and feeling their joy on a musical level. Playing some outdoor festivals, and when it starts to rain, seeing nobody leaving.” “Those festivals in Europe really made a big, positive impact on us,” adds Reeves. “We loved playing to people in the afternoon who didn’t come to see Dogstar but connected with what we were doing. And that connected with us.” Bret continued, “You never know if people are going to show up, are they going to stay, are they going to listen? It meant a lot that people not only stayed but got into songs that they mostly had never heard before.”

Dogstar credits legendary producer Nick Launay — whose has worked with artists from Midnight Oil to Nick Cave and The Bad Seeds to Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Amyl and the Sniffers — with the fully realized sound and the energy of All In Now. As Domrose recalls, “Our management put Nick’s name on a list of possible producers.” “And we all thought it was a typo. Like this guy will never work with us,” Mailhouse adds with a laugh. For Nick Launay, “Working with Bret, Robert, and Keanu was extremely fun because it brought things back to why people form bands and make music. These three friends wrote some killer songs and wanted to push some boundaries in the studio. It’s all passion and no BS. For me, it’s always a treat working with such capable musicians because the sky’s the limit when experimenting, and that’s exactly what we did, while smiling all the way.”

All In Now reflects their commitment to put their all into the project, both on-stage and in the studio. As Nick Launay puts it, “I love how Bret’s voice and melodies soar above the solid grooves on this album. There’s something very honest about it, which I guess is why it’s called All in Now. I think this friendly trio is sounding HUGE and will turn some heads this time around.”

With a smooth, soulful voice and a collection of heartfelt and captivating songs, Joe has established himself as one of the most cherished R&B artists of our time.  His achievements include multiple chart-topping hits and a dedicated fanbase that spans the globe.

A self-described “country boy” born in South Georgia and raised in Alabama, Joe often accompanied his traveling evangelist father on the road.  Growing up, he also learned to play the guitar and piano while developing his vocal skills in church.  Joe’s dream of attending Dillard University in New Orleans to study business and law took a backseat when he opted to relocate to New Jersey in pursuit of a musical career.  After notching his first R&B top 10 for Mercury Records in 1993 with “I’m in Luv,” Joe began hitting his stride in the mid-‘90s with the R&B and pop crossover smash “All the Things (Your Man Won’t Do).”

An ensuing string of hits—“All That I Am,” “I Wanna Know,” “No One Comes Close”—sealed Joe’s reputation in the 2000s as an R&B superstar.  And the seven-time Grammy nominee’s memorable collaborations with Mariah Carey (“Thank God I Found You”), Big Pun (“Still Not a Player”) and G-Unit (“Wanna Get to Know You”) further underscored his musical versatility.

“I’d love to be remembered in the same league as a Marvin Gaye,” says Joe.  “And I’ve got time.  That’s the beauty of R&B. It’s a classy genre — and class always lasts.”
