For decades, fans have waited for the moment that now feels almost like a miracle. Joan Baez — the legendary voice behind “Diamonds & Rust,” “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down,” and “Here’s to You” — has officially announced her long-awaited return to the stage. The 2026 world tour, titled “Stay With Us: The Joan Baez Reunion Tour,” is set to be both a celebration and a homecoming.

The announcement sent waves of excitement through the folk music community and beyond. Baez, known for her angelic voice and lifelong dedication to peace and justice, will bring not only her music but also the stories that defined generations. Each performance promises to blend nostalgia with the enduring hope that has always been the heart of folk.

“This tour is not just about songs,” Joan said during her official statement. “It’s about staying together, remembering where we’ve been, and celebrating the journey. Folk music has always been about life — and I want to share that with everyone, one more time.”

The “Stay With Us” tour is expected to span major cities across North America and Europe, with additional international dates still to be confirmed. Fans have already begun flooding social media with messages of gratitude and disbelief, celebrating the chance to see Baez perform once more. Early reports suggest tickets will sell out within hours of release.

For Baez, this is not a typical comeback — it is a renewal of the human spirit through music. Her concerts have always been more than performances; they are gatherings of hearts and minds united by empathy, truth, and courage. With every note, Joan continues to prove that folk music remains timeless in its message and boundless in its reach.

As the tour countdown begins, anticipation is building for what many are calling the most emotional and meaningful folk revival of the decade. At 85, Joan Baez stands once again where she has always belonged — on stage, guitar in hand, voice clear as ever, reminding the world that music can still heal, unite, and inspire.
