Little Feat announces The Last Farewell Tour

The run kicks off in April 2026

Little Feat will embark on The Last Farewell Tour in 2026. A tongue-in-cheek title referencing The Last Record album, Little Feat, will soon start the process of retiring from Little Feat touring with a series of dates that start in April.

Tickets are on sale now.

Little Feat also released a new single, “Feathers And A Smile,” a previously unreleased song written by band co-founder Lowell George from an unreleased portion of “Crazy Captain Gunboat Willie Suite” from the band’s debut. It features Little Feat’s Bill Payne on piano and vocals, Scott Sharrad on Dobro, Fred Tackett on mandolin, alongside vocals from Lowell George’s daughter Inara George.

Rock legends Little Feat may be putting the tour bus to rest, but they remain in fine creative form. Fresh off a Grammy nomination for their recent album Sam’s Place and the release of their powerful new record Strike Up the Band, the band continues to prove why they’re one of rock’s most endearing, enduring, and inventive creative forces. Produced by Vance Powell (Chris Stapleton, Jack White) and featuring contributions from Blackberry Smoke’s Charlie Starr and Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter, Strike Up the Band is a vibrant showcase of their sonic gumbo, a slinky mix of groove, grit, and far-out lyricism.

Formed in the late ’60s, Little Feat built a cult following with their genre-blending stew of New Orleans R&B, country, rock, funk, and jazz—earning admiration from The Rolling Stones to Bonnie Raitt, to Cher to Led Zeppelin. Through lineup changes and decades of evolution, Little Feat remains an unstoppable force. The current lineup—featuring founder Bill Payne alongside Fred Tackett, Kenny Gradney, Sam Clayton, Scott Sharrard, and Tony Leone—sounds revitalized, reminding fans that Little Feat isn’t a relic of rock history but a living, breathing, ever-evolving band still capable of striking up something extraordinary.
