Graham Nash Announces Fall 2026 Tour Dates, Pledges to Keep CSN Legacy Alive

Nash says he's the last man standing to perform the CSN catalog live, with a full schedule now stretching into October.

Graham Nash has added more than a dozen new dates to his 2026 touring schedule, extending a run that already spans the summer into the fall. The newly announced dates begin Sept. 12 in Northampton, Massachusetts, and conclude Oct. 9 in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, giving fans across the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic a chance to hear the Crosby, Stills and Nash catalog performed live by its last active member.

A Tour Built Around the CSN Catalog

Nash has been candid about the motivation behind his continued touring. With David Crosby having passed away and Stephen Stills no longer going on the road, Nash sees himself as the sole remaining steward of the music the trio made together. Neil Young, Nash noted, is not performing CSN songs either.

“If anybody wants to hear any of those songs, they should come and see me, because I really loved the music that we made,” Nash told Ultimate Classic Rock. He pointed to his current band configuration as the reason he can do the material justice, citing Adam Minkoff, who plays drums and bass simultaneously on certain songs in addition to electric and acoustic guitar, and Zach Djanikian, who covers acoustic guitar, electric guitar, drums, bass, mandolin, and tenor sax.

Summer Dates Set the Stage

Before the fall leg kicks off, Nash has a full summer schedule already in place. The run opens July 7 at Strings Music Festival in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, followed by two nights at the Vilar Performing Arts Center in Beaver Creek on July 9 and 10. July 12 brings a high-profile appearance at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado, where Nash will perform as a special guest of the Avett Brothers.

The summer stretch continues through the Midwest and Southeast, with stops at the Kauffman Center in Kansas City on July 14, The Englert in Iowa City on July 15, and two nights at The Sheldon in St. Louis on July 17 and 18. A co-bill with Emmylou Harris is scheduled for three dates: Kresge Auditorium in Interlochen, Michigan on July 23, Meadow Brook Amphitheater in Rochester Hills, Michigan on July 24, and Ravinia in Highland Park, Illinois on July 26.

Fall Dates Extend the Run Through October

The newly added fall dates fill out a Northeastern sweep. After the Sept. 12 opener in Northampton, the schedule moves through Lowell, Massachusetts on Sept. 13, Portsmouth, New Hampshire on Sept. 15, and Stowe, Vermont on Sept. 17. An international stop follows on Sept. 19 at the Harvest Jazz and Blues Festival 2026 in Fredericton, New Brunswick.

The fall leg then winds through upstate New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New Jersey, Delaware, and Kentucky before closing out in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Notable stops include two nights at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts in Bethel, New York on Sept. 27 and 28, a venue that carries obvious historical resonance for anyone connected to the late-1960s rock era, and a date at The Kentucky Theatre in Lexington on Oct. 6. The final show is scheduled for Oct. 9 at the Luhrs Center in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania.

The take

Graham Nash's framing of this tour as a preservation mission carries real weight. Crosby, Stills and Nash were among the defining voices of the late-1960s and early-1970s counterculture, and the catalog they built together, from “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes” to “Teach Your Children” to “Our House,” remains among the most recognizable in classic rock. With Crosby gone since January 2023 and Stills sidelined, Nash is correct that no other living member is actively performing that material in a concert setting. Young, whose relationship with CSN was always the most complicated, has long since moved on from revisiting that chapter of his career on stage.

What makes Nash's current approach notable is the deliberate effort to replicate the sonic breadth of a multi-member band with just two musicians. Historically, legacy acts scaling down to smaller configurations risk losing the textural richness that defined their studio work. Nash's description of Minkoff and Djanikian suggests he has thought carefully about that problem. The venues on this tour also tell a story: a mix of intimate theaters, mid-size performing arts centers, and prestige outdoor stages like Red Rocks and Ravinia reflects a smart routing strategy for an artist whose audience skews toward listeners who value the listening experience over spectacle. The Bethel Woods dates carry particular symbolic resonance, given the site's connection to Woodstock 1969, where CSN performed. For fans of that era, seeing Nash there in 2026 closes a meaningful circle.

Why it matters

For classic rock fans, this tour represents the last realistic opportunity to hear the CSN songbook performed by one of its principal architects in a live setting. Nash's acknowledgment that the group's other surviving member is off the road, combined with Crosby's passing, makes this a genuinely finite proposition. The breadth of the routing, from Colorado amphitheaters to small New England theaters to a Canadian festival, suggests Nash is committed to reaching as wide an audience as possible while he still can. That kind of accessibility matters for a catalog that shaped a generation.

What's next

Nash's 2026 tour is currently scheduled to run from July 7 through Oct. 9. The summer portion includes the Red Rocks appearance on July 12 as a special guest of the Avett Brothers and the Emmylou Harris co-bills in Michigan and Illinois in late July. The fall leg, newly announced, runs from Sept. 12 through the Oct. 9 finale in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania.
