The group will kick-off the second leg of their “My Morning Jacket ‘is’ On Tour” on August 5th in Bend, Oregon, which features multi-night stands in cities including Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Chicago, and Atlanta.

Frontman Jim James said in a statement: “October 4 is the 20th anniversary of our album ‘Z.’ It’s pretty wild to think about that. To celebrate 2 decades of it being out in the ether, we’re turning 5 of our shows into special ‘Z’ anniversary shows, where we’ll play that album (and some other songs, don’t worry) front to back.”
In a social media post announcing the Z20 celebrations, the band revealed they will not be holding their One Big Holiday destination event in 2026, but said it will return in 2027. MMJ also noted that while they will tour in 2026, “but it will be somewhat limited.”
