Snap Crackle and Pop

By: BSO - Mar 09, 2026

 

The Tanglewood Popular Artist Series adds three blockbuster shows to this summer’s lineup: Hugh Jackman with Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops (August 11, 7 p.m.), Brandi Carlile (August 18, 7 p.m.), and John Fogerty and Steve Winwood (September 6, 7 p.m.).  

Grammy, Emmy, and Tony award-winning actor and singer Hugh Jackman was last seen in the critically acclaimed 2025 film Song Sung Blue and stars in A24’s upcoming thriller The Death of Robin Hood. His August 11 performance with conductor Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops marks his Tanglewood and Boston Pops debuts. 

One of music's most beloved and respected voices, Brandi Carlile made her Tanglewood debut in 2022 and returned for a sold-out performance in 2024 that The Berkshire Eagle described as “Equal parts uplifting, celebratory and misty-eyed, it was a sensational night in the Koussevitzky Music Shed, amid themes of love, struggle and motherhood.”  The 11-time Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter and producer’s latest album, 2025’s acclaimed Returning to Myself, became her fifth top-ten album on the Billboard 200 and was hailed as "one of her finest efforts and one of the best albums of the year" (Variety).   

As lead singer and guitarist of Creedence Clearwater Revival, John Fogerty won a Grammy Award and was inducted into both the Rock and Roll and Songwriters Hall of Fame. Singer-songwriter, legendary vocalist, guitarist, keyboardist, mandolin player, and producer Steve Winwood has sold over 50 million records over his five-decade career. Winwood is a co-founder of Traffic, one of the most important British rock bands of the 1960s and 1970s, inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004. Both artists have performed at Tanglewood once before, Winwood in 1991 and Fogerty in 2024. 

Tickets for the three new concerts, as well as Alabama Shakes on September 5, go on sale Friday, March 13 at 10 a.m. at tanglewood.org.
