Spend a Summer Night With Sarah McLachlan at The Rady Shell

Some voices just belong under an open sky next to the water, and Sarah McLachlan‘s is near the top of that list. The three-time Grammy winner is bringing her Better Broken Tour to The Rady Shell at Jacobs Park, and it’s shaping up to be one of those bayfront evenings you’ll be glad you didn’t skip.

Sarah McLachlan Better Broken Tour

What She’s Touring Behind

The run supports Better Broken, McLachlan’s tenth studio album, released September 19, 2025 via Concord Records. It’s the follow-up to a sold-out fall tour that hit nine major cities.

This summer extension keeps the momentum going with stops in Atlanta, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, and San Diego, plus marquee nights at Red Rocks and the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. We’re lucky to be on the map.

Don’t Sleep on the Opener

Allison Russell joins as special guest for every date, and she’s a headliner in her own right. The Montreal-born, Nashville-based artist has won Grammy, Juno, Americana, and Folk Awards, landed on the Polaris Prize shortlist, and released two acclaimed solo albums, Outside Child in 2021 and The Returner in 2023. Get there early for this one.

Why The Rady Shell is The Move

There’s no better setting for songs this intimate than the waterfront at Jacobs Park, with the bay behind the stage and the skyline glowing as the sun drops. Bring a light layer for when the breeze picks up, and give yourself time to settle in before the music starts.

See you there!

Grab a spot on the lawn, let the bay do its thing, and settle in for a night of songs that hit right where they always have. We’ll see you down by the water.
