Warren Haynes and Ziggy Marley announced a 16-date co-headlining run today called the Dreaming The Same Dream Tour, kicking off September 23 at The Rooftop at Pier 17 in New York City and wrapping October 17 in Irving, Texas. UK soul singer YOLA comes along as a guest DJ/MC. Pre-sale tickets open June 3 and 4; the general on-sale is June 5 at 10 a.m. local through mule.net.
The catch for Boston readers: after the New York opener, the routing heads straight south. Asheville, Raleigh, Richmond, six Florida stops, then Atlanta, then four Texas dates. There is no New England show on this run.
Where the Tour Name Comes From
“Dreaming the Same Dream” is a Haynes/Marley co-write that first showed up on the Warren Haynes Band’s 2012 Live at the Moody Theater. The two have shared stages occasionally over the years but never toured together. “There’s definitely an overlap between the two audiences,” Haynes said in the announcement, “but I think a lot of Mule fans will be hearing Ziggy for the first time, and a lot of Ziggy fans will be hearing Mule for the first time.”
Ziggy’s contribution to the press materials is shorter: “It’s gonna be a great jam session being on tour with Warren and the crew. I’m looking forward to the vibes.”
One detail worth flagging up top: $2 from every ticket goes to Food For The Poor Jamaica for Hurricane Melissa relief. The storm hit Jamaica last fall and the press release calls it the most destructive in the country’s history.
The New England Workaround
If you want to see either act without driving to New York or flying to Florida, both have separate summer dates in the region — they just don’t overlap with each other.
Gov’t Mule (summer “Kicking In Your Stall” run, partly with Joe Bonamassa):
- July 22 — Summer Stage at Tree House, Deerfield, MA
- July 31 — Maine Savings Amphitheatre, Bangor, ME (w/ Joe Bonamassa)
- August 1 — BankNH Pavilion, Gilford, NH (w/ Joe Bonamassa)
Ziggy Marley (Brightside Tour):
- July 14 — Koussevitzky Music Shed at Tanglewood, Lenox, MA (w/ Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue)
- July 15 — Bowl In The Pines, Sidney, ME
- July 18 — Levitate Music and Arts Festival, Marshfield, MA
- July 20 — The Tabernacle, Martha’s Vineyard, MA
- July 21 & 22 — Chicken Box, Nantucket, MA
That Tanglewood bill is the most interesting of the bunch on paper — Ziggy plus Trombone Shorty in a shed-style venue is a different kind of show than the Chicken Box bar gigs the following week. The Joe Bonamassa pairing at BankNH is the closest the Kicking In Your Stall tour gets to Boston proper.
Where Each Act Is in Their Catalog
Gov’t Mule’s last studio record was 2023’s Peace…Like A River on Fantasy, the rock follow-up to the GRAMMY-nominated Heavy Load Blues (both cut at The Power Station New England in the same sessions, in separate rooms, with no shared gear — a setup the band has talked about in interviews around the Heavy Load release). Haynes himself has been productive on the side: a 2024 solo record, Million Voices Whisper, a stripped-down companion called The Whisper Sessions in 2025, and an expanded reissue of his 1993 solo debut Tales of Ordinary Madness earlier this year via Megaforce. A symphonic record called Dreams & Songs, recorded live in Asheville back in 2019, is “coming soon” per the announcement — no date yet.
Ziggy’s news is more current. Brightside — his ninth album, and his first new studio record in eight years — came out earlier this month. Highlights per the press materials include “Racism Is A Killa” with Big Boi (of Outkast) and “Many Mourn For Bob,” a tribute to his father. The album was co-produced with his brother Stephen at Ziggy’s own Rebel Lion Studio in Los Angeles, with guest spots from Trombone Shorty, Sheila E., Nikka Costa, and Jake Shimabukuro.
VIP and Tickets
For the fall co-headliner, Gov’t Mule is offering its standard Ultimate Guitar Player Package along with two new VIP tiers called Dreaming Out Loud and Traveling Tune. All of that, plus the full tour routing, lives at mule.net. Ziggy’s tour info — including the New England stops above — is at ziggymarley.com/tour.
Bottom Line
The fall pairing is a real curiosity — Haynes’s improvisational rock and Ziggy’s reggae-funk hybrid don’t share an obvious lane, and you can see why the press release leans on the “two audiences hearing each other for the first time” framing. But Boston isn’t on the list. If you want to see either of them in 2026, the move is to circle a July date and head west to the Berkshires, north to New Hampshire, or out to the islands.
