Beck Will Reinvent His Catalog on an Orchestral Tour

Beck will bring his symphonic reinvention back to North American stages this summer, with nine concerts across eight cities backed by local orchestras.

This announcement follows Beck’s well-received orchestral performances at Carnegie Hall and other venues last year. “The band got a little bigger since last time,” Beck joked during his two-night Carnegie stand, with the 73-member Orchestra of St. Luke’s onstage. Among other songs, the setlists highlighted work Beck created with his father, composer David Campbell, whose string arrangements on Sea Change and Morning Phase laid the groundwork for these shows. After the orchestra’s 90-minute appearance, Beck and his band shifted gears, playing “Devil’s Haircut” and “Loser” to round out the evening.

The 2025 tour will feature Beck’s regular backing musicians — guitarist-bassist Jason Falkner, keyboardist Roger Manning, and drummer Joey Waronker — along with the orchestras. Venues on the tour range from Roy Thomson Hall in Toronto to Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado. Tickets for all performances go on sale next Friday at 10 a.m. local time.
