Tickets for the Allman Betts Family Revival tour's tenth-anniversary run go on sale to the general public Friday at 10 a.m. local time through Ticketmaster, with the 20-city trek stopping three times in New York state this December, including a night at Manhattan's Beacon Theatre. The tour, dubbed A Decade of Revival, opens November 28 at the Stifel Theatre in St. Louis and closes with a two-night stand at The Fillmore in San Francisco on December 19 and 20.

Devon Allman and Duane Betts will play three shows across New York state as part of the run, according to The New York Post, which reported the ticketing details. Those dates include the Kirby Center in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania on December 2, the Capitol Theatre in Port Chester on December 4, and the Beacon Theatre in New York City on December 5, before the band continues on to Huntington, New York the following night. Secondary-market tickets will also be available through SeatGeek, which is offering $10 off purchases over $250 for users' first purchase with the promo code NYPOST10, per the same report.

A Tour Built on Two Eras of the Allman Brothers Catalog

The 2026 edition of the tour pays homage to the Allman Brothers Band's 1991 compilation album A Decade of Hits 1969–1979, structuring each night into two distinct sets, according to Jambands. The first set focuses on 1970s material from the Allman Brothers songbook, while the second set turns to material from the 1990s. The Allman Betts Band, formed in 2016, said in a statement that “this year marks a major milestone as ‘A Decade of Revivals’ makes its way across America honoring the timeless music of the legendary Allman Brothers Band.”

The band will be joined by a rotating cast of guest performers on select dates, including pedal steel guitarist Robert Randolph, Grammy-nominated vocalist Judith Hill, North Mississippi Allstars co-founder Luther Dickinson, and roots musician Sierra Hull. Larry McCray, Jimmy Hall, Steel Beans, Cody Dickinson, Abby Stachschmidt, Andy Frasco, and Alex Orbison round out the additional lineup of collaborators expected to sit in throughout the run. Past tours have featured sit-ins from artists including Slash, Jason Isbell, and Marcus King, according to jambands.com's report.

From a Birthday Memorial to a National Institution

The Family Revival tour began far more modestly than its current 20-city footprint. It started as a single tribute concert on December 8, 2017, when Devon Allman organized a show at The Fillmore in San Francisco to mark what would have been his father Gregg Allman's 70th birthday, according to Kleinhans Music Hall. Gregg Allman, who co-founded the Allman Brothers Band with his brother Duane in 1969 and penned classics including “Whipping Post,” “Midnight Rider,” and “Melissa,” died from liver cancer in May 2017 at age 69 in Savannah, Georgia.

What began as a one-off memorial has since grown into an annual national tour carrying forward the band's legacy. That legacy took on additional weight after Dickey Betts, the Allman Brothers' founding guitarist and songwriter and father of Duane Betts, died in April 2024 at age 80 at his home in Osprey, Florida, according to MusicRow. Betts wrote several of the band's most enduring songs, including “Ramblin' Man,” “Blue Sky,” and “Jessica.” In Florida, Sarasota County officials requested in February that state transportation authorities rename a section of U.S. Highway 41 in his honor, referencing the “Ramblin' Man” lyric about “rollin' down Highway 41,” per WSLR.

Beyond Tribute: The Band's Own Catalog

Before launching its tribute tours, the Allman Betts Band built its own body of original work, recording two studio albums live to analog tape at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio in Alabama: Down to the River in June 2019 and Bless Your Heart in August 2020, both produced by Matt Ross-Spang and released through BMG. The band was formed by Devon Allman and Duane Betts and initially included Berry Duane Oakley, the son of original Allman Brothers bassist Berry Oakley, tying the group directly to three generations of the original lineup.

That original Allman Brothers Band, formed in Macon, Georgia in 1969, was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1995 by Willie Nelson, who recognized the group for pioneering Southern rock by fusing rock, jazz, blues, and country. Inductees included Duane Allman, Gregg Allman, Dickey Betts, Berry Oakley, Butch Trucks, and Jaimoe. Willie Nelson himself remains active on the touring circuit; he and Neil Young announced two co-headlining East Coast shows for September, according to the Post's report.

The Full Slate of Tour Stops

Beyond the New York-area dates, the tour runs through the Midwest, South, and West Coast over three weeks. After St. Louis, the band plays the Brown County Music Center in Nashville, Indiana on November 29, followed by the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee on November 30, and the Orpheum Theatre in Boston on December 3. Stops in Charleston, Greenville, Knoxville, Macon, and Sarasota follow in the tour's second week, with Florida dates in Fort Pierce, Clearwater, and Jacksonville, plus a stop in New Orleans, closing out the run before the two-night finale in San Francisco.

The band's live show has drawn notice on the setlist-tracking site setlist.fm, which recorded an 18-song set list from a June 2026 performance in Vail, Colorado, according to the Post's report, an indication of the marathon format fans can expect at each stop of the anniversary run. Tickets go on sale to the public Friday at 10 a.m. local time through Ticketmaster, with SeatGeek offering a secondary-market option for fans who miss the initial window.
