Michael Shannon & Jason Narducy and Friends play R.E.M.’s Life’s Rich Pageant Michael Shannon & Jason Narducy and Friends are thrilled to announce a spring 2026 U.S. tour celebrating the 40th anniversary of R.E.M.'s iconic album, Life’s Rich Pageant. After the pair’s rapturously received run earlier this year honouring the band’s famed 1985 album Fables of the Reconstruction, which saw the four original members of R.E.M. join Shannon & Narducy on stage at their two shows in Athens, GA, the extensive Life’s Rich Pageant tour will take Shannon & Narducy to stops in Brooklyn, Los Angeles, Seattle, Chicago, Philadelphia, and more. Additionally, they will return for two shows in R.E.M.’s hometown of Athens, GA.

Kicking off Wednesday, Feb. 11 at Summit in Denver, CO, the tour will see Shannon & Narducy— alongside Jon Wurster (drums), Chris Murphy (bass), Dag Juhlin (guitar), and Vijay Tellis-Nayak (keyboards)—playing Life’s Rich Pageant in full each night in addition to many other beloved R.E.M. classics.
