Judy Collins Announces Farewell Tour

(Think Press) Legendary singer-songwriter Judy Collins is embarking on her highly anticipated Farewell Tour, "SWEET JUDY BLUE EYES" on July 4, 2026. Spanning iconic venues and cities across North America and beyond, this milestone tour will run through the winter of 2027, offering fans a final opportunity to experience Judy's timeless voice and storytelling live on stage.

A warm up of dates is scheduled for June, before the tour officially kicks off on July 4, 2026 at "America Made In Virginia: 250 Years Together" celebration hosted by Virginia's American Revolution 250 Commission (VA250) in Colonial Williamsburg, the capital city of revolutionary Virginia. Judy Collins will headline the live, star-studded Independence Day event and broadcast.

Select dates will feature special guests such as Richard Thompson, The High Kings, Bruce Cockburn, Elles Bailey, Livingston Taylor and other artists to be announced later in the Spring-visit https://www.judycollins.com/ for specific guest appearances.

Following the main tour, Judy will present the "Sweet Judy Blue Eyes - Celebration Encore," a special series of encore performances for devoted fans and new audiences alike - an opportunity to celebrate six decades of musical brilliance with one of folk's most treasured artists.

A 7-time GRAMMY nominee, Collins is an award-winning folk singer-songwriter who has released 55 recordings during her prolific career. She has released six albums since 2015 alone, and her Grammy nominated 2023 album Spellbound is her first of all original, self-penned songs. Collins is also a published author, filmmaker, keynote speaker for mental health and podcast host. In 2025, Judy Collins released Sometimes It's Heaven: Poems of Love, Loss and Redemption - personal poems about love, loss and redemption.
