Get ready for a night of rock and roll history. The Wallflowers are bringing their Bringing Down the Horse 30th Anniversary Tour to Quarry Park Amphitheatre on Saturday, September 17th, 2026, performing the iconic album in its entirety plus a full set of hits spanning their legendary career.

Bringing Down the Horse isn’t just an album, it’s a cultural touchstone. Released in 1996, this six-times-Platinum masterpiece launched The Wallflowers into rock royalty and became one of the defining records of the decade. Led by Jakob Dylan’s evocative songwriting and unmistakable voice, the album delivered hit after hit: the Grammy-winning “One Headlight,” which still tops Billboard’s Greatest of All Time Adult Alternative Songs chart; the anthemic “6th Avenue Heartache”; the driving “The Difference”; and fan favorites like “Three Marlenas” and “Josephine.” These aren’t just songs, they’re the soundtrack to a generation, and hearing them performed in full is a rare and powerful experience.

For the past 30 years, The Wallflowers have stood as one of rock’s most dynamic and purposeful bands, dedicated to crafting music that meshes timeless songwriting and storytelling with a hard-hitting and decidedly modern musical attack. Bringing Down the Horse showcased that signature style at its peak: lean, potent, and eminently entrancing. The album’s success wasn’t just commercial, it was critical, earning multiple Grammy nominations and cementing Dylan as one of the finest songwriters of his generation.

While Bringing Down the Horse will be the centerpiece of the night, expect a full celebration of The Wallflowers’ incredible catalog. From their more recent work like Exit Wounds, their first album in nearly a decade produced by Butch Walker, to deep cuts from albums like Glad All Over, this is a show that honors three decades of exceptional rock and roll. Dylan has never stopped creating, releasing solo albums, executive producing the acclaimed Echo in the Canyon documentary, and collaborating with legends from Neil Young and Tom Petty to Beck and Fiona Apple.

Experience The Wallflowers live under the stars at Quarry Park’s intimate open-air amphitheatre, where the tiered grass seating creates the perfect backdrop for one of rock’s most important albums performed front to back. This is a 30th anniversary celebration of Bringing Down the Horse, a once-in-a-lifetime chance to hear these iconic songs the way they were meant to be experienced: live, loud, and unforgettable.
