Sara Bareilles is boldly stepping back into the spotlight! The talented singer-songwriter, now 46, has exciting news: she is gearing up for a tour after nearly ten years away from the stage. Alongside her tour, she will release a documentary that chronicles her journey to the Good Grief Tour and the creation of her new album, which will debut at the 2026 Tribeca Film Festival.
On June 3, 2026, Sara shared her return to touring in an Instagram post, expressing her emotions about being back on the road after “7 long years and what feels like several lifetimes.”
“We are heading out on the GOOD GRIEF TOUR!” she declared in her post. “I am not the same person I was the last time I toured…so I am crafting this live experience to reflect that transformation. I’ve chosen my favorite intimate venues to connect with you—where I can see, hear, talk, dance, and laugh with you. I want to share my journey with you, including my grief, joy, love, hope, and friendships. We are creating a night that I hope will be unforgettable.”
Sara added, “Bring your most authentic selves, but remember to pack them in those transparent plastic bags because we don’t get to have nice things anymore. 😉 By joining us, you will support incredible mental health organizations that are saving lives every day. In these challenging times, let’s carry our burdens together. With all my love and gratitude.”
Below, Hollywood Life provides the latest updates on Sara’s new album, tour, and documentary.
