THE HEAD AND THE HEART ANNOUNCES RETURN TO THE THEATER AT VIRGIN HOTELS LAS VEGAS FOR A ONE NIGHT ONLY PERFORMANCE IN FEB. 2026
– General On-Sale Begins Friday, Dec. 5, 2025, at 10 a.m. PT –
LAS VEGAS, NV (DEC. 2, 2025) – After almost exactly two years since their debut at The Theater at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas, indie folk band The Head and The Heart announces their return to the acclaimed venue with a one-night-only performance in early 2026. Following the release of their sixth album earlier this year, the band will grace the stage again on Saturday, Feb. 28, 2026. Tickets go on sale Friday, Dec. 5, 2025, at 10 a.m. PT at AXS.com.
The Head and The Heart brings more than a decade and a half of sound, stories, and songwriting to the industry. With an understated harmony that allows for organic melodies, the band has a long-standing history of drawing in fans, creating shows that prioritize simplicity, warmth, and an authentic love for music. From their hit singles to the recent release of the band’s sixth album, Aperture, The Head and The Heart delivers a consistent intimacy to an alternative folk sound, a beloved genre that’s repeating its resurgence to the music scene.
Since The Head and The Heart’s formation in 2009, the band has become a touring powerhouse, having landed prime-time mainstage slots at Coachella, Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits, performing classics like “Rivers and Roads,” “Down in the Valley” and “Lost in My Mind” and touring with headlining acts like The Lumineers and Brandi Carlile in 2025 and 2026. Their crowd-favorite track “Honeybee” secured over 153 million-plus total global streams and their debut self-titled album recently received a Platinum certification from RIAA.
As The Head and The Heart toured behind their 2022 album, Every Shade of Blue, Jonathan Russell realized something needed to change inside the band he had cofounded a dozen years earlier: the entire songwriting process. Aperture — The Head and The Heart’s first album since signing to Verve Forecast — is the affirming result of that realization. After working with a string of marquee producers on their previous three albums, the six members took the lessons they’d learned into studios in Seattle and Richmond, patiently shaping and self-producing a record that satisfied no one but themselves. More than any other record ever by The Head and The Heart, Aperture feels like the work of a real band, made giddy by the process of once again sharing some emotional load.
With every song fortified by the sense of beginning again, Aperture is The Head and The Heart’s most vital and poignant album. It is the best work they’ve ever done. For one-night-only, fans can experience this work of art played live onstage at The Theater at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas.
The Theater at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas welcomes fans from all corners to see The Head and The Heart reclaim the stage in early 2026. The Theater at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas is proud to offer free parking as well as an expansive VIP service, including open bar packages, private expedited entry, dedicated hosts, merchandise delivery, custom swag, and access to luxury suites and VIP lounges to its guests for an unparalleled live entertainment experience.
