RIAA-certified Gold a cappella group Straight No Chaser today announced their 2026 fall tour titled “Making Spirits Bright.” The US dates range from California to Massachusetts and Florida to Indiana, where, counting their slated 2026 dates, the group will have performed a remarkable 59 shows in the last 17 years at Indianapolis’ Murat Theater. A holiday tradition for families across the country now for nearly two decades, Straight No Chaser’s live concerts have cumulatively sold 2 million tickets.
“Making Spirits Bright” kicks off on October 29 in Findlay, OH and concludes December 30 in Jacksonville, Florida. Tickets go on sale May 21, 2026, and full details, including VIP packages, can be found at sncmusic.com.
“What an honor it is that families return to see us year after year. We’ve watched children grow up and bring their children,” said Seggie Isho of Straight No Chaser. “To become part of their traditions each year – like making cookies, lighting candles, or opening presents – it’s something we never would have imagined when we were college students who wanted to sing at Indiana University all those years ago.”
This summer, the group will bring their “Beach Bash” tour to the Northeast, where they’ll perform songs of the summer from the Beach Boys to Bruno Mars. Tickets for the “Beach Bash” tour are on sale now.
