Joe Jackson - Hope And Fury Tour 2026

Joe Jackson at Radiant-Bellevue

At Radiant-Bellevue, we are thrilled to welcome Joe Jackson for the much-anticipated Hope and Fury Tour 2026, an evening that will bring one of contemporary music’s most agile storytellers into our intimate, precision-tuned auditorium. For decades, Joe Jackson has bridged sharp songwriting with fearless stylistic shifts, and his recent artistic cycle has been especially compelling. Following his inventive project Mr. Joe Jackson Presents: Max Champion in What A Racket!—a lovingly irreverent salute to pre-war music-hall traditions—he embarked on the “Two Rounds of Racket” concept, juxtaposing his solo craft with that theatrical alter-ego. Alongside that, his 2019 album Fool delivered fresh, incisive songs that have already become fan favorites. As a venue, we prize clarity, warmth, and presence; our hall is designed to carry the crisp percussive bite of a piano, the roundness of a bass line, and the human grain of a singer’s voice to every seat. Hosting Joe Jackson in this space means welcoming an artist who knows how to turn acoustics into narrative—who can move from a whisper to a full-band pulse and make each gesture feel personal. We look forward to giving his audience a setting that amplifies the emotion and the wit encoded in every arrangement.

What to expect from the Hope and Fury Tour 2026 at Radiant-Bellevue

Hope and fury are two currents that have long coursed through Joe Jackson’s catalog, and our stage is built to let both breathe. Expect a journey that can pivot from piano-led intimacy to a taut, rhythm-forward charge without losing detail or impact. In recent seasons, he has revitalized his setlists with pieces from Fool—like Fabulously Absolute, Big Black Cloud, and Alchemy—while also spotlighting gems from the What A Racket! project such as Why, Why, Why?, The Bishop and the Actress, Dear Old Mum, The Sporting Life, and Worse Things Happen at Sea. At Radiant-Bellevue, that spectrum of tone becomes a tangible experience: supple dynamics, quicksilver changes in color, and a clean low end that gives each groove a confident foundation. We also know how treasured his classics are—Steppin’ Out, Is She Really Going Out with Him?, I’m the Man, and Breaking Us in Two often serve as anchor points for the arc of the night—and our mission is to ensure they land with the same freshness as the new work. From the first note to the final encore, our technical team will sculpt a sound image that keeps the piano articulate, the voice centered and warm, and the band punchy without overwhelming the room.

Joe Jackson’s current artistic moment blends restless creativity with a craftsman’s discipline—qualities that flourish in our venue. The Hope and Fury Tour 2026 arrives after a period of bold experimentation and renewed storytelling vigor, and we anticipate a program that threads the needle between invigorating newcomers and rewarding longtime devotees. The narrative bite he brought to recent pieces sits naturally alongside the concision of his enduring hits; in our space, lyrical turns and rhythmic feints are intelligible from orchestra to balcony. Should he revisit Fabulously Absolute or Alchemy, listeners will hear the harmonic subtleties and rhythmic pivots with studio-like clarity; if he leans into Why, Why, Why? or Dear Old Mum, our room’s warmth will underscore the theatrical sparkle; and when the night swings to Steppin’ Out or Is She Really Going Out with Him?, the groove will be bright, buoyant, and precisely drawn. Radiant-Bellevue is engineered for contrast and nuance, and that makes it a natural home for an artist who writes in chiaroscuro—shadow and light, irony and tenderness, hope and fury. We are proud to provide the stage, sound, and atmosphere that let every facet of his artistry come into sharp focus for our audience.
