About Todd Rundgren and the Damned If I Do Tour

Todd Rundgren is one of rock's most restless creative forces — a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer whose influence stretches far beyond his own discography. Born in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania in 1948, Rundgren got his start in the late 1960s with the psychedelic band Nazz before launching a solo career that yielded the landmark 1972 double album Something/Anything?, on which he played every instrument. That record produced two of classic rock's most enduring songs — "Hello It's Me" and "I Saw the Light" — and established Rundgren as both a pop craftsman and a studio visionary. In the decades since, he has released more than 25 solo albums, fronted the progressive rock band Utopia, and pioneered innovations in interactive media, music video, and computer graphics. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2021.

As a producer, Rundgren's fingerprints are on some of the most iconic records in rock history. His credits include Grand Funk Railroad's We're an American Band, Meat Loaf's Bat Out of Hell, the New York Dolls' self-titled debut, XTC's Skylarking, and Badfinger's Straight Up. He organized the first interactive television concert in 1978, designed one of the first color graphics tablets, and created what's considered the first interactive album with No World Order in 1993. Rundgren has always been as much a technologist and conceptualist as a musician, and his live shows reflect that restless spirit — expect the unexpected.

The Damned If I Do Tour takes Rundgren to 22 cities across the United States from June 11 through mid-July 2026. The routing hits a mix of historic theaters and intimate performance halls that suit Rundgren's dynamic stage presence: the Arcada Theatre in Saint Charles, IL; Majestic Theatre in Dallas; House of Blues in Houston; Buckhead Theatre in Atlanta; The Parker in Fort Lauderdale; Carolina Theatre in Durham, NC; The Caverns in Pelham, TN; KEMBA Live! in Columbus, OH; Warner Theatre in Washington, DC; Keswick Theatre in Glenside, PA; and The Cabot in Beverly, MA among others. Multiple Florida dates — Clearwater, Ocala, and Fort Lauderdale — make this a particularly strong run for Sunshine State fans.

Rundgren's backing band for this tour is stacked with top-tier musicians. Kasim Sulton, who has been playing bass with Rundgren since the Utopia days in the 1970s, anchors the rhythm section alongside Prairie Prince, the legendary drummer known for his work with The Tubes and Jefferson Starship. Gil Assayas handles keyboards, Bruce McDaniel adds guitar, and Bobby Strickland rounds out the sound on horn. Together, they can handle anything Rundgren throws at them — from tight pop arrangements to extended prog workouts to the soul and funk grooves that have always been part of his repertoire.
