Modern New Orleans music tastemakers Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue have announced a run of 2024 tour dates featuring support from Atlanta hip-hop O.G. Big Boi of OutKast.
The run will begin in June with shows at Cary, NC’s Koka Booth Amphitheatre (6/11), Bridgeport, CT’s Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater (6/13), Boston, MA’s Leader Bank Pavilion (6/14), Huber Heights, OH’s Rose Music Center at The Heights (6/18), and Cleveland Heights, OH’s Cain Park Evans Amphitheater (6/20). The June 2024 run for Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue will also include a June 16th show at New York, NY’s The Rooftop at Pier 17 featuring support from Neal Francis rather than Big Boi.

After parting ways for various other gigs in July and August, Trombone Shorty and Big Boi will reconnect on September 4th for a performance at Los Angeles, CA’s storied Hollywood Bowl.
Tickets for the newly announced shows go on sale on Friday, February 9th at 10:00 a.m. local venue time. For details, head here.
Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue will stay plenty busy until then. On February 16th, just three days after Mardi Gras, the band will embark on the first-ever Shorty Gras tour, bringing New Orleans Carnival spirit to the East Coast three-week run of performances featuring another staple New Orleans act, The Soul Rebels. Shorty Gras has become a beloved New Orleans tradition since its inaugural year in 2020, a featured event as part of the Krewe de Freret Parade in the lead-up to Mardi Gras (the Krewe de Freret Parade occurred on February 3rd, 2024). Trombone Shorty led the parade on his own signature float and concluded it with the Shorty Gras ball at Mardi Gras World featuring a who’s who of musical guests. This year, Shorty will bring this distinctly New Orleans Mardi Gras party on the road for the first time.
In celebration of the Shorty Gras tour and the festive season as a whole, Trombone Shorty and Sammy Cyrus have also released a new Fat Tuesday anthem, “Mardi Gras Morning”, under the banner Saint Brass. Watch the video for the new track below.
