The Bad Plus Announce Final Tour After 26 Years
The Bad Plus have spent their groundbreaking lifespan reimagining music in their own boldly original style, always challenging convention while propelling jazz in boundary-breaking new directions. Now, after more than a quarter century and three unique iterations, founding bassist Reid Anderson and drummer Dave King have decided to call an end to The Bad Plus’s one-of-a-kind career.
“The Bad Plus has been a band for 26 years,” says Reid Anderson and Dave King. “That’s quite a long time! As we enter into year 27 – after a great deal of soul searching and consideration – we have decided to bring this chapter to a close. 2026 will be the final year of The Bad Plus. We share this news with heavy hearts, but also with great pride in what we have accomplished. It has been a privilege to share our music with the world and we leave behind a body of work that we could not be more proud of.
“We look forward to performing our final shows throughout the coming year and hope to see as many of you as possible. This band changed our lives. Thank you all for being a part of that.”
