The band from the Amazon series continues its tour
Alt-rock band from the new hit Amazon Prime Series, The Runarounds, announce that their sold-out The Minivan Tour will continue into 2026 throughout the US as they revisit fans from the first leg of their completely sold-out tour and bring their sound to new cities, kicking off January 15th.
With over 21 million streams since September 1st and a sold-out fall 2025 tour, The Runarounds have heard the call from fans for more and are answering with 30 more dates in bigger venues. The fall tour saw much greater demand than anticipated – shows sold out quickly and fans waited in line for hours to purchase day-of-show tickets. In many markets, the band returned the favor by passing out water to those waiting and performing impromptu acoustic sets with fans chanting “Season 2!”
The Runarounds formed in 2020 following a casting call for the massively successful young adult mystery show Outer Banks. After being chosen from more than five thousand musicians, they performed together in a third season episode, but the band — William Lipton (vocals/guitar), Axel Ellis (vocals/guitar), Jeremy Yun (lead guitar), Zendé Murdock (drums), and Jesse Golliher (bass/vocals) — has continued to play gigs, write music and even release a live EP in 2023. Not only does the group star in the new series from Outer Banks’ creators, but they also wrote and performed the music that appears in The Runarounds and on the soundtrack.
The Runarounds (Original Soundtrack) release follows two previously unveiled singles: “Senior Year,” the first song written and recorded by the band, and “Funny How the Universe Works,” which appeared in the trailer. The 17-track set, includes a mix of live and studio recordings that range from racing indie rock to swaying love songs to intimate acoustic numbers. Closing out the collection are covers of the Zutons’ “Valerie,” notably performed by Amy Winehouse and Mark Ronson and Cheap Trick’s “Surrender.”
The series follows a group of recent high school graduates from Wilmington, North Carolina, who come together the summer after graduation to form a rock band, united by their love of music and near-impossible dream of stardom. During one unforgettable summer, they throw themselves into the pursuit of their big break — falling in love, getting into trouble, and building the kind of bonds that feel like family along the way. With original music, romantic entanglements, and the raw highs and lows of coming-of-age, The Runarounds captures the rush of risking everything at the edge of adulthood to chase your dreams.
