ROSTAM: American Stories Tour
About Rostam Tickets
You might know Rostam Batmanglij as the architect behind some of indie music's most defining records — he co-founded Vampire Weekend and produced their first three albums, including the Grammy-winning Modern Vampires of the City. As a solo artist and one of the most sought-after producers of his generation, he has shaped the sound of Frank Ocean, Clairo, HAIM, Charli XCX, Maggie Rogers, and Solange, among many others. But step into a Rostam show and you realize quickly: this is someone who was never meant to stay behind the glass.
His third solo album, American Stories, dropped in May 2026 and it might be his most personal work yet — a record that weaves his Iranian-American identity into the fabric of Americana, blending fingerpicked guitars and pedal steel with microtonal Persian melodies and traditional instruments like the saz. The 2026 American Stories Tour brings that vision to life across intimate, beloved venues like Webster Hall, the 9:30 Club, The Chapel, and Thalia Hall, with special guests Zsela, Elori Saxl, and Henry Solomon joining on select dates. Fans who have seen him live describe shows that are equal parts concert and communion — analog synths, rich vocal harmonies, a six-piece band, and the kind of slow-blooming performances that leave you tearing up in a room full of strangers.
Rostam has always operated at the intersection of experimentation and deep emotional honesty, and American Stories pushes that even further by exploring what it means to live across two cultural worlds. Whether you fell in love with his production on Immunity or you have been a fan since the Vampire Weekend days, his live show rewards you with something a studio recording simply cannot replicate — presence, vulnerability, and a room small enough to feel every note. These are the kinds of shows you remember for years, and this tour is your chance to be in the room when it happens.

He is the son of Iranian refugees and studied classical music at Columbia University, where he also began producing what would become Vampire Weekend's self-titled debut. After departing Vampire Weekend in 2016, Rostam launched his solo career, contributing production to acclaimed albums including Frank Ocean's Blonde and Solange's A Seat at the Table, before releasing his debut solo album Half-Light in 2017.

What makes the American Stories Tour different from Rostam's previous tours?
The American Stories Tour is directly tied to Rostam's most personal album to date, a record that explicitly explores his Iranian heritage and its intersection with American musical traditions. Past tours supported his debut solo album Half-Light, but this cycle finds Rostam in a new creative chapter, drawing on cultural identity in a way that reviewers have noted feels more direct and emotionally resonant. The intimate venue choices on this run also suggest the performances are designed to reflect the introspective, layered nature of the new material.
