Tanglewood adds Hugh Jackman, Brandi Carlile, John Fogerty, Steve Winwood to summer lineup
The Tanglewood Popular Artist Series expands with three new shows featuring Grammy, Emmy, and Tony winners.
The Tanglewood Popular Artist Series is heating up this summer with three new additions, including performances by Hugh Jackman, Brandi Carlile, and the duo of John Fogerty and Steve Winwood.
Grammy, Emmy, and Tony award-winning actor and singer Hugh Jackman will make his Tanglewood and Boston Pops debut Aug. 11, performing alongside conductor Keith Lockhart and the Boston Pops, according to a Tanglewood press release.
Jackman is coming off his critically acclaimed 2025 film “Song Sung Blue” and will soon star in A24’s thriller “The Death of Robin Hood.”
Brandi Carlile is set to perform Aug. 18, returning to Tanglewood after a sold-out 2024 show, according to the press release. The 11-time Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, and producer’s latest album, “Returning to Myself,” became her fifth top-10 Billboard 200 album. She recently performed at TD Garden to rave reviews.

Rock legends John Fogerty and Steve Winwood will perform together Sept. 6, the press release states. Both artists have previously performed at Tanglewood, with Winwood appearing in 1991 and Fogerty in 2024.
Fogerty, lead singer and guitarist of Creedence Clearwater Rival, is a Grammy winner and was inducted into both the Rock and Roll and Songwriters Hall of Fame. Winwood, co-founder of the British rock band Traffic and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, has sold more than 50 million records across his five-decade career, according to Tanglewood.
