A classic rock band is hitting the road this year for the last time.
Little Feat will embark on “The Last Farewell Tour” in 2026, the band announced on Instagram Tuesday.
“My hope is ‘The Last Farewell Tour’ resembles a long passionate kiss, a prolonged warm hug, giving us all time to embrace this special moment to remember our collective past with those here and others departed but still in our hearts,” keyboardist and founding member Bill Payne wrote in the post. “This is a celebration that acknowledges gratitude to all for an unforgettable journey, mingled with joy, sadness, but no regrets. Let’s allow some time for all of this to play out.”
The tour will start on May 26 in Ocean City, Maryland and end in Denver, Colorado on Aug. 22. Little Feat has three shows scheduled in Massachusetts: Deerfield on June 2, Cohasset on June 5 and Hyannis on June 6. Tickets are on sale now.

In addition to the tour’s announcement, Little Feat released a new version of their 1976 song “Long Distance Love” on Thursday. Featuring Amy Helm, the track appears as a single along with the previously unreleased song, “Feathers and a Smile,” written by guitarist Lowell George (who died in 1979) and featuring vocals by his daughter Inara George.
“The track is a testament to resiliency in the face of adversity, and a tribute to this band’s legacy, and our incredible musical community of fans and musical collaborators,” Little Feat wrote in another Instagram post. “Great music is timeless and essential for our healing. Little Feat will continue to spread the message of unity, funk and soul as we embark on The Last Farewell Tour together this year.”
Led by Payne, Little Feat is a Southern rock band that formed in 1969 with former Mothers of Invention members including George and Roy Estrada. The group is best known for ‘70s favorites like “Willin’,” “Spanish Moon,” “Dixie Chicken,” “Long Distance Love,” “Oh Atlanta” and “Roll Um Easy.”
