'80s Icon and 8-Time Grammy Award Winner Announces 2026 Tour
Ziggy Marley, the eight-time Grammy Award-winning reggae star and son of music legend Bob Marley, will hit the road this fall alongside Southern rock powerhouse Gov't Mule for a newly announced 2026 co-headlining trek across the United States.
The 16-date outing, titled the Dreaming the Same Dream Tour, was officially announced Friday and will bring together two acclaimed acts from different musical worlds.
According to Marley's official website, the tour begins on Sept. 23 at The Rooftop at Pier 17 in New York City and continues through the Southeast before wrapping up with a series of Texas performances in October.
Joining Marley and Gov't Mule on the road will be English country-soul artist YOLA, who will perform special DJ sets each night.
The tour takes its name from "Dreaming the Same Dream," a song co-written by Gov't Mule frontman Warren Haynes and Ziggy Marley. The track originally appeared on the 2012 Warren Haynes Band release Live at the Moody Theater.
"I'm really looking forward to the tour with Ziggy Marley," shared Haynes in a press release, according to Live for Live Music. "We've known each other a long time and have shared the stage a few times but never done a tour together. There's definitely an overlap between the two audiences, but I think a lot of Mule fans will be hearing Ziggy for the first time and a lot of Ziggy fans will be hearing Mule for the first time, which is great."
Marley also expressed his excitement about the upcoming run.
"It's gonna be a great jam session being on tour with Warren and the crew," added Marley. "I'm looking forward to the vibes."
The newly announced tour reunites two artists whose friendship and musical connection stretches back years. While Marley is best known for carrying forward the reggae legacy established by his father, Bob Marley, Gov't Mule has built a devoted following since its formation in 1994 under the leadership of guitarist, singer and songwriter Warren Haynes.
Marley has enjoyed a successful solo career after first rising to fame with Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers. Across his career, he has earned eight Grammy Awards and remains one of reggae's most recognized voices.
Gov't Mule, meanwhile, has become a staple of the Southern rock and jam-band scene. The group released its most recent studio album, Peace… Like a River, in 2023 and continues to tour extensively.
Artist fan club pre-sales begin June 3 at 12 p.m. ET. Local venue pre-sales follow on June 4 at 10 a.m. local time, while general ticket sales start June 5 at 10 a.m. local time.
Gov't Mule will also offer several VIP packages, including the Ultimate Guitar Player Package, Dreaming Out Loud VIP Experience and Traveling Tune VIP Experience.
The tour will also support humanitarian efforts in Jamaica. Organizers announced that $2 from every ticket sold will be donated to Food For The Poor Jamaica to assist relief and rebuilding projects following Hurricane Melissa.
The charity supports food assistance, clean water access, medical care, shelter needs and long-term community recovery efforts across the island.
