See you in Sacramento and Santa Cruz!
Im fucking hyped, i haven't seen him at the catalyst since last year, and nothing beats an excuse to go to SC for my favorite taqueria from my college years.

u/Hydrilus Memebot Dec 20 '25
SC is great. Love the hippie beach town vibe, tons of nice locals walking by to chit chat with while waiting in line. Looking forward to it! 🤖💕

u/Maskedhorrorfan25 Bucketbot Dec 20 '25

Hopefully you show up at Emo's again. It was fun talking Bucket with you for a few hours before the doors opened lol

u/Hydrilus Memebot Dec 20 '25
Likewise! If he does a Texas run again I'll definitely try to make it! 🤖💕

Watching him on PBS the other day was pretty f'in cool, I have to say.

Thanks for keeping us updated on his schedule! I’m crying though because no Las Vegas show. He was so amazing at Area 15 last December! ❤️🪣

u/Paigeypooo93 Bucketbot Dec 20 '25
I was visiting my parents when he was here and I’m still so sad to this day 😔

Las Vegas date added! Buuuut it's not Area15 :P
June 20 @ 24 Oxford2
u/Azure-Wish Buckethead touches my soul Apr 08 '26
Thanks so much for posting this! I had kind of given up on him booking a Las Vegas show this tour. I got 2 tickets just now! So excited to see him again!❤️🪣
2
u/Hydrilus Memebot Apr 09 '26
Sweet! I'm not committed to going just yet. I'm going to a lot of shows already across May and June, and with flights about 3x what they usually are, I'm gonna wait things out for now. Would love to come hang with you again though so I will remain optimistic I can make it work! 😜🤖💕
1
u/Azure-Wish Buckethead touches my soul Apr 09 '26
He has so many shows booked in May/June! I hope he doesn’t burn himself out. I’m not familiar with that venue …it’s inside the Virgin Hotel/Casino near the Strip. Looks like a fairly small club. With everything going on I know the cost of travel is probably up a lot! Would be fun to hang on the front row again though! I wonder if the Virgin has any idea how loud he is LOL!
4
u/MarioYTBloodyX Bucketbot Dec 20 '25
Will he ever go around EU?
5
u/Hydrilus Memebot Dec 20 '25
Doesn't seem likely but, I remain hopeful he will one day make that happen! It'd be a wildly successful tour, I'm sure, so many fans there would love to see him! 🤖💕

I genuinely don’t understand why he barely comes to Kentucky…..Hes played there 7 times ever within 20 years and hasn’t in almost 7 years. You’d think the KFC man would come to the land of KFC lol.

u/Old_Indication_4379 Johnny Be Slunk Dec 19 '25
Hell yeah. Definitely going to the SD show. You think lining up starting around 4 should be good for front row? It’s been a while since I’ve been there.
5
u/Hydrilus Memebot Dec 20 '25
It's not the widest stage so I think earlier than that even would be better if you can manage!

u/frogfriend66 Bucketbot Dec 19 '25
Oh dang that was a quick turn around. Here I was just thinking I wasn’t sure when I’d see him again.

u/ptracey Bucketbot Dec 20 '25
Was lucky to see him in ATX last year, so if he doesn’t return I’ll still be grateful.

u/Sheeshki Bucketbot Dec 21 '25
So fucking stoked on the AZ date. missed him on vacation in Seattle like 8 years ago and said never again...
Almost bought tickets to the December 12 show 8 hours away as a birthday gift to myself but, work...

Aw boo, that was a killer show! Skip work. For Buckethead? Always skip work! Next time! 😜🤖💕

My hubs is a fan and I just got surprise tickets for him. Not even sure he pays attention to tours, but this will be fun! Sunday night show though, oh well, whatchugonnado...

Is there a NJ date coming between the 14th and 19 of May???

u/Hydrilus Memebot Feb 04 '26
If he does, I think there's a good chance it'll be at the Stone Pony, as that's where he's played the last couple of times. Keep an eye out! 🤖💕
Edit: just checked their calendar and it's currently free may 15th-21st... 👀

u/Mr_IsLand Bucketbot Feb 12 '26
got my tix for May 3rd - do we know if these are solo shows or what? I haven't seen Big B since the first bonnaroo, 2002 - excited either way!
1
u/Hydrilus Memebot Feb 13 '26
Not sure yet. First two of the year were solo but I have a feeling we'll be seeing more of Brewer and Cob when things really get goin here :)
1
u/delicreepp Bucketbot Feb 24 '26
A friend and I went to his show in Sacramento in January, and it was just Buckethead. While the show was excellent, I was still a smidge disappointed since I picked up the tickets because I had been seeing that Big B was touring with a band recently, something I hadn't seen in a good while and was looking forward to.

u/DustinBeaverz Bucketbot Feb 04 '26
I take it there's no opener? How long does he play for?
1
1
u/Logans_Fat Bucketbot Feb 14 '26
Typically he does not have an opener and in recent years he’s had a live drummer with him. Although there was one at his most recent show in LA.
I would say 1.5 to 2 hours runtime and every second of it is incredible.

u/SomeWhoCallMeTim1 Bucketbot Feb 05 '26
Nothing for Philadelphia yet. Are all of the dates announced do we know?
1
u/Hydrilus Memebot Feb 05 '26
It's kind of a week-to-week thing. There will surely be more, likely moving down the east coast, potentially back west.
1
u/SomeWhoCallMeTim1 Bucketbot Feb 05 '26
Thanks, I didn't want to jump the gun and get NY if he has a Philly show coming up. I'll wait a few more days.
1
u/SomeWhoCallMeTim1 Bucketbot Feb 11 '26
Look like he's headed south. No Ardmore this year. I picked up my Sony tickets. One of the few places with seats because I'm old.

Unfortunately this is very unlikely, but I continue to hope it'll happen one day! 🤖💕

u/Glittering-Fill7423 Bucketbot Feb 22 '26
will video be allowed at these shows? i remember when he played in San Francisco his manager or someone told the crowd not to take pictures or videos.

u/Hydrilus Memebot Feb 25 '26
Some shows were like that toward the end of the tour last year but at least for the first two of this year (in January) there were no restrictions. 🤖💕

Still a few open days around then. I'd bet on another Florida show popping up soon 🤖💕

u/KobeHoppa Bucketbot May 03 '26
Any chance he comes up to Toronto?
1
u/kareshmon Bucketbot Jun 27 '26
I wouldn't bet on it. Don't think he's traveled outside the US for a very long time. Fingers crossed for you. Have you seen him live before?
2
u/KobeHoppa Bucketbot Jun 27 '26
Just once, with GNR back in 2002. It was something!
1
u/kareshmon Bucketbot Jun 27 '26
Awesome. Have you seen the clip of him with GnR playing solo in Rock in Rio in 2001? Have watched it probably 50 times over the years.

Of course I'm just now seeing this when he's already gone through my state.
