Alanis Morissette continues to build on her rock and pop legacy with an intensive touring schedule into late 2026. According to her official events page, the singer has announced a Butterfly with a Machete residency at YouTube Theater in Inglewood, California, with tickets on sale now.
How Alanis Morissette’s 2026 tour is shaping up
The 2026 live year for Alanis Morissette is structured around a mix of European outdoor shows, North American festivals and arena dates, and the Los Angeles residency. A detailed UK and Ireland run was announced for summer 2026, including Virgin Media Park in Cork on June 24 and Crystal Palace Park in London on July 4, with several British festival-style shows in between. A Loudersound report highlights stops at Powderham Castle in Exeter (June 26), Blenheim Palace in Woodstock (June 28), Bellahouston Park in Glasgow (June 30) and Lytham Festival in Lytham (July 2), all scheduled for 2026.
Beyond Europe, touring listings compiled by several ticketing and concert platforms show that Morissette is booked for Riot Fest at Douglass Park in Chicago on September 20, 2026, and for an outdoor show at Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort in Mount Pleasant, Michigan, on September 19, 2026. These late summer and early autumn dates frame a North American leg that leads into the indoor shows later in the year.
Key dates and venues on the 2026 route
The centerpiece of Morissette’s late-2026 plans is the Butterfly with a Machete residency at YouTube Theater at Hollywood Park in Inglewood. Event listings and Live Nation’s tour information confirm four shows there on November 5, 6, 10 and 11, 2026, with tickets marketed as part of a themed rock “traumedy” residency concept. The same listings align with figures from major ticket platforms that show entry-level prices starting around the mid-$90 range for some dates.
Earlier in the autumn, the schedule features an arena performance at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut, on October 2, 2026. The Riot Fest appearance in Chicago on September 20, 2026, places Morissette alongside other alternative and rock names at Douglass Park, with separate listings identifying it as a Sunday festival day. The Mount Pleasant show at Soaring Eagle Casino & Resort the night before forms a two-date pairing in the US Midwest ahead of the East Coast and West Coast legs.

How Alanis Morissette’s set translates from Berlin to 2026
Germany has been a recent anchor for Morissette’s European activity. On June 17, 2025, she played an exclusive Germany show at Zitadelle Spandau in Berlin as part of the Citadel Music Festival’s twentieth anniversary. Trinity Music and Ticketmaster Germany promoted the concert as her only German date that summer, with doors at 5:00 p.m. local time and the main performance beginning in the early evening.
Coverage from German music press summarized the Berlin setlist as a cross-section of Jagged Little Pill and later work, including songs such as Hand in My Pocket, Right Through You, Reasons I Drink, Hands Clean, Head Over Feet, You Learn, Ironic, All I Really Want, You Oughta Know, Uninvited and Thank U. Independent fan reporting from Berlin largely matches that running order, highlighting how the set stitched together tracks from Jagged Little Pill, Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie, Under Rug Swept and Such Pretty Forks in the Road without long breaks.
What the statistics say about her live repertoire
Setlist statistics for Morissette’s 2025 tour show how often she leaned on specific songs that are likely to resurface in the 2026 shows. One overview of her 2025 performances counts Hand in My Pocket, Ironic and Thank U at 33 plays each, making them the most frequently performed titles that year. All I Really Want, Hands Clean, Head Over Feet, Right Through You, Smiling, Uninvited, You Learn and You Oughta Know all appear at 32 performances each, underscoring their status as near-guaranteed inclusions in a standard set.
Mid-tier staples such as A Man, Are You Still Mad and Would Not Come hover around 31 counts, while Everything and Mary Jane reach 30 performances. More rarely played tracks, including Flinch and That I Would Be Good, appear under ten times in the data set, which suggests they can surface as rotation songs rather than nightly fixtures. As a comparison, this distribution implies that a typical Alanis Morissette show in 2025 contained around 22 to 24 songs, roughly in line with the detailed Berlin setlists.
The musical core of Alanis Morissette’s catalog
Alanis Morissette’s touring strength rests on a catalog that fuses alternative rock, confessional singer-songwriter elements and pop hooks. Her global breakthrough came with Jagged Little Pill in 1995, a guitar-driven album that turned songs like You Oughta Know, Ironic, Hand in My Pocket and Head Over Feet into mid-1990s radio staples. The record mixes distorted riffs with diaristic lyrics that sit at the intersection of grunge-era rawness and mainstream pop structure.
Subsequent albums such as Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie, Under Rug Swept and Havoc and Bright Lights widened her palette, adding more rhythmic variation, piano-led arrangements and multi-layered vocal harmonies. On Such Pretty Forks in the Road from 2020 and the meditation-focused The Storm Before the Calm in 2022, Morissette pushed further into introspective territory, working with producers like Alex Hope and others to emphasize texture and mood over volume. Live, she tends to filter this wide range of material through a relatively stripped-back band setup, with guitars, bass, drums and occasional keys carrying the weight.
Where Alanis Morissette stands now
As of August 24, 2026, Alanis Morissette’s next officially listed live date is her Butterfly with a Machete residency show at YouTube Theater at Hollywood Park in Inglewood, California, on November 5, 2026.
