June 10, 2025—Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats have confirmed a new run of U.S. tour dates and festival appearances this fall, including stops in San Diego, Kansas City and performances at Farm Aid, Outlaw Music Festival and more. Additionally, Rateliff will accompany Mumford & Sons solo for select dates on their ‘Mumford & Sons And Friends Tour.’
Tickets for the new dates are available now starting with an artist presale, additional presales will continue throughout the week ahead of the general on-sale beginning June 13 at 10 A.M. (Local). Full details and list of dates can be found here.
The new dates come following today’s announcement of the nominees for the 2025 Americana Awards, which saw Rateliff and band nominated for Album of the Year for their critically acclaimed fourth full-length studio album album South of Here, out now via Stax, as well as Song of the Year for “Heartless.”
South of Here saw two #1s: “Heartless” and “Call Me (Whatever You Like)” topping the Adult Alternative Chart, marking their 7th and 8th #1s to date. The band’s new video for the title track from the album, directed by Brantley Gutierrez on 35mm film, exclusively premiered on Rolling Stone and was highlighted by Kodak Shoot Film—watch the video here.
This year saw the band complete their milestone, first-ever arena tour in support South of Here; Watch Jimmy Fallon make a surprise appearance at the band’s landmark, sold-out show at Madison Square Garden, as he joined them for their encore and gave an electric rendition of their hit song “S.O.B.” here. The masterful MSG performance followed the band’s appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon—watch here.
Additionally, Rateliff has been appointed as Newport Folk Steward, the first artist to hold such a role at the legendary festival since Pete Seeger. The position holds a three-year term, which will see Rateliff serving as Steward actively for two years and advising the next recipient during a third transition year. Rateliff has chosen to devote his term to artist advocacy, fellowship and mentorship both at the Fort and beyond.
Critical acclaim for Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats’ live show…
“One of the most powerful voices in folk music as his gruff baritone is able to expand in range and fill up an entire room without a microphone…It will give you chills”
“Tracks like ‘I Need Never Get Old,’ ‘You Worry Me,’ ‘Survivor’ and
‘David and Goliath’ from the newest album, feature Rateliff’s twangy voice exploding
out of guitars and keyboards and horns into roaring, soaring choruses […] With ruffled hair
and a showmanship that came across as authentic and humble […] The seven-piece band included, gloriously, a horn section with a trumpet and two saxophones, and everyone
delivered. No funny business, just good musicianship.”

“Saturday’s high-energy, often breathlessly paced performance demonstrated how
much know-how they picked up along the way and how well their no-nonsense approach works in whatever room they’re playing. This was one arena concert that was all about the music and nothing else […] Even after a decade of hard touring, the burly 46-year-old singer still has a powerful and booming voice graced with a tender, wearied undertone.”

“Rateliff and his 7-man Night Sweats churn through a fast-paced set of tight, taut,
heavy-grooving soul-rock; the band clad all in black, filling the balmy air with electric energy… the man’s got one of rock ‘n’ roll’s most versatile voices.”

“One of the few singer-songwriters in the country who could pump
foot-stomping energy through the venue with the Night Sweats and then have
an audience in tears with heartfelt solo material.”
“It’s no wonder that Rateliff and his Night Sweats have become one of the premier
live acts across all genres because their songs, like all great soul-based songs, are tailor
made to be performed live.”
