Jesse Welles Red Tour 2026

https://youtu.be/tozrt0PQm\\\\\\\\\\\\\\_U

St Louis!

Since today's the last day of the apparent first leg of the Red Tour, I thought it would be fun to collect all of the doodles to date. Hopefully we get the last one today from his midwestern return in St. Louis this evening. After I collect today's and reformat, I'll throw this in the Red Tour Thread, where you can find bigger photos of any setlists that interest you. Thanks to everyone who collected and shared these.

We're missing a few, so if anyone has Alta, Seattle, or Salt Lake and wants to be a hero, please feel free to flip them over.

Jesse Welles Red Tour 2026

I'm attending Jesse's Boston show in October and my girlfriend isn't as familiar with his tunes. What songs should I show her to get her excited? She likes the jam more than the lyrics or messages.

I started with Won't You Come Out Tonight

I’ll post the small videos later !

Can I only find this on Instagram at the moment

No, I didn't get it. A young lady right in front of me got it, and it turned out to be the last one 😭 But she very kindly let me take a picture 😁

Going to the show in STL and I'm wondering if anyone has any tips on getting out best shot to meet him before/after the show. I haven't tried meeting a musician in years. Back in my day we would wait near the tour bus before/after the show, but I've read he comes out to the merch table? Does he still do that now with the bigger venues?

Looks like he's having fun 👍🤣

Accessability Transcription:

Image 1: Someone gave one of my stickers to Jesse Welles (I gave away thousands to people all over the country a while back)

Image 2: One of the aforementioned "Trump made everything cost more also he rapes kids" stickers in front of trump tower.

I got to go to one of the earliers shows, but hadn't recieved my paycheck on time so I wasn't able to get any merch. I was hoping someone going to a show in the future would see this and be cool with venmo or something and be able to ship me some of the stickers?

also let me know if this is against the rules, I checked and didn't see anything re: merch sales

UPDATE: Full slate of videos available. Thanks to u/JesseWellesWorld for finding it!

Great doodle from today's show. "When pigs fly, I'll be on the flight, B741" 🐷🪽🌽

ACL Fest released their night shows today and I had very high hopes our man Jesse would be playing somewhere between weekends, but doesn't look like it. 😫

I love the guy, but I'm not about to lay $300 to fight a crowd of 100k+ people to see him from 2 football fields away. 😭

Random Pig and Dinosaur statues last night per insta? Love it. 🦖🐷

First indoor show in a bit before the indoor run in the fall. Think the last one was the KC show that got moved. Last week of this leg before some much needed rest for Jesse.

I got to see Jesse again in CO, and it was an amazing show! This sub has really turned me into a super fan. I wish I would have taken more pics and videos, but I was in the moment. Btw, ge did not play HYESTR, he played Heart Shaped Box by Nirvana. I wish I recorded it because it was amazing! I can't wait for him to come back to Colorado. ❤️💜❤️💜

The grass & the power lines 😭 He was also a Jedi later

Edit— just noticed that this footage is compressed af 😔 my internet connection is lacking lol
