The rock group BEAT, comprising musicians Adrian Belew, Steve Vai, Tony Levin, and Terry Bozzio, has announced a North American tour scheduled for the fall of 2026. The tour will feature performances of material from King Crimson's 1980s and 1990s albums.
The band is set to play across arenas, theaters, and other venues throughout North America from October through December 2026. Notable stops include four dates in the New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut area: November 4 at The Paramount in Huntington, NY; November 5 at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, CT; November 9 at Prudential Hall in Newark, NJ; and November 11 at Kodak Center in Rochester, NY.
Tickets for the 40-date North American concerts are now available. At the time of publication, the lowest ticket price found was $66, including fees, for the show at Mohegan Sun. Tickets for the Huntington, NY date start at $94, including fees.
Drummer Terry Bozzio will join BEAT for this tour, replacing Danny Carey who has prior commitments with Tool. Vai expressed enthusiasm for Bozzio's inclusion, stating, "Terry is one of the truly legendary drummers of our time, whose remarkable career and unique musical voice make him the perfect artist to join us for this tour. He brings his own extraordinary artistry to BEAT, and that’s something worth celebrating."
BEAT previously performed reinterpretations of King Crimson's 1980s albums, including "Discipline," "Beat," and "Three of a Perfect Pair," during their 2024 North American tour. Belew and Levin were involved in the original recordings of these albums between 1981 and 1984.
The band's setlists have included songs such as "Neurotica," "Heartbeat," "Industry," "Sleepless," and "Indiscipline," all originally by King Crimson.
The members of BEAT have extensive musical histories. Adrian Belew has played with Frank Zappa, David Bowie, and was a member of King Crimson. Steve Vai, a three-time Grammy winner, has collaborated with Zappa, Ozzy Osbourne, and Whitesnake. Tony Levin, known for his bass playing and Chapman Stick, has worked with Peter Gabriel and contributed to King Crimson. Terry Bozzio, a drummer since childhood, has performed with Frank Zappa, U.K., and Missing Persons.
King Crimson's influential 1980s albums that BEAT is drawing from are "Discipline" (1981), "Beat" (1982), and "Three of a Perfect Pair" (1984).
