NPR Music Presents: Tiny Desk Contest On the Road 2026 - SOLD OUT!
NPR Music’s Tiny Desk Contest is heading back on the road!
Join us this summer in San Francisco at the historic Bimbo’s 365 Club, as Tiny Desk travels cities across the country for a one-of-a-kind concert. Each stop will feature a different surprise Tiny Desk alum headliner, plus the 2026 Contest winner along an up-and-coming artist from each region.

Schedule:

*Note: Unfortunately, the 2026 Tiny Contest Winner Cure for Paranoia had a pre-existing and unmovable schedule conflict with the San Francisco tour date. This tour stop’s headliner performance will be the 2024 Winner The Philharmonik.
Every attendee must be 21 years of age or older with a valid ID. (Sorry no babes in arms!)
The 2026 Tiny Desk Contest is presented by Capital One. NPR Music is supported by Rivian.
