Legendary folk singer-songwriter Judy Collins is embarking on her farewell tour, Sweet Judy Blue Eyes, beginning July 4, 2026, and running through 2027. The milestone tour will take Collins to venues across North America, giving fans one last chance to hear her iconic voice and storytelling live.
The tour officially kicks off at the “America Made in Virginia: 250 Years Together” celebration in Colonial Williamsburg, Virginia. Select dates will feature special guests, including Richard Thompson, The High Kings, Bruce Cockburn, Elles Bailey, and Livingston Taylor, with additional appearances to be announced in the spring.
Collins, a seven-time Grammy nominee, has released 55 recordings during her career, including her 2023 Grammy-nominated album Spellbound, her first collection of all original songs in years. She has also published books, produced films, hosted a podcast, and spoken publicly on mental health issues.
The farewell run will be followed by a series of encore performances under the banner Sweet Judy Blue Eyes – Celebration Encore, providing devoted fans with additional opportunities to celebrate her six decades in music. Tickets for tour dates will be available through Collins’ official website.
