Ben Folds has announced his “In Actual Person Live For Real Tour” for later this year, consisting of a series of concerts that will include both solo piano and orchestral performances. The tour will kick off on August 17 at the Appell Performing Arts Center in York, PA and will wrap up on November 18 at the Taft Theatre in Cincinnati, OH.

Tickets have been available for purchase now since Friday, May 21, with pre-show VIP packages for select performances also available. Details and ticket availability can be found here.

Folds has been in isolation in Australia since international travel was shut down in February 2020, having been on tour at the time. He has since launched a podcast series called “Lightning Bugs: Conversations with Ben Folds,” as well as released a number of livestream performances on his Patreon page. He recently held a position on the lineup for the On Air Fest virtual event in April of this year, and is preparing for the launch of a new TV series.
