Dispatch, O.A.R. Announce 2022 Co-Headlining Tour Ft. Robert Randolph Band, G. Love

Dispatch and O.A.R. are teaming up for their first-ever co-headlining tour in 2022. The joint run will take the lauded roots-rock outfits across North America, with Robert Randolph Band and G. Love set to provide support at select dates.

O.A.R. and Dispatch will kick off the 37-date trek in Mesa, AZ on July 15th and weave through Los Angeles, San Diego, Denver, Atlanta, Cleveland, Nashville, Boston, Chicago, New York, Philly, Austin, Virginia Beach, and more before wrapping up in Irving, TX on September 9th.

While the bands have shared bills in the past, this tour will mark the first time the two have mounted a tour together. “Dispatch has always been a name on our white-board wish-list for bands we wanted to tour with,” said O.A.R. saxophonist Jerry DePizzo in a press statement. “It’s almost as if we’ve existed in parallel universes. We both came up through the ranks and cut our teeth playing colleges and small clubs throughout the Northeast and Midwest. It’s taken a few years, but the stars have finally aligned. We’re looking forward to this because we feel both audiences will be excited as well. We should have done this a long time ago.”

Dispatch, formed by Chadwick Stokes and Brad Corrigan while in college in Vermont, emerged as as one of the most successful acts in the early-2000s roots rock scene. Over the course of several acclaimed studio and live albums and countless tours and festivals, the band has gone on to become a pre-eminent independent music success story, selling out shows at Madison Square Garden and drawing over 100,000 fans to an outdoor show in their adopted hometown of Boston without any traditional radio or major label support. The band recently released its 8th studio album, Break Our Fall.
