Minneapolis band Porch Light is excited to announce their first headlining tour of North America, beginning September 22 in Dallas, TX. The expansive tour brings the rising five-piece through major cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago, after a summer filled with festivals. Tickets are on sale Friday, July 17, 2026, at 10:00 am local time.
Last month, the band shared first new music of 2026 with “Arctic,” out now via Mom + Pop. “Arctic” captures the group at their most unfiltered, exploring tension between commitment and longing; the push and pull of wanting a deeper, more consuming connection even within an already invested relationship. Wiry guitars underline vocalist Jackie Uhas’s urgent vocals, as the song soars towards a cathartic release.

Last year, Porch Light shared their second EP, Navy Blue. A flurry of online support from a burgeoning worldwide fandom continued, embracing the vulnerable nature of tracks like “Oxygen,” which amassed over 10 million views across platforms, and streamed over 500k in just the first 3 days. Over 715k followers between TikTok and Instagram quickly followed, filling the band’s comment sections with demands for new music.
Since their debut, Porch Light have played sold-out shows across North America and supported bands like Arcy Drive, Spacey Jane, Goth Babe, and more. At the beginning of the year, they supported NYC band Quarters across the U.S. with support from Telescreens. This summer, they’ll appear at a variety of major festivals, from Lollapalooza in Chicago, IL, to Shaky Knees Festival in Atlanta, GA.

ABOUT PORCH LIGHT:
Porch Light emerged from Minneapolis with an inevitable momentum. Formed by Zac Fogarty (guitar), Jackie Uhas (vocals), Henry Hughes (bass), Kyle Siemon (guitar), and Tony O’Keefe (drums), the band began as a shared instinct rather than a defined plan—five musicians converging around a mutual pull toward larger-than-life indie rock and unforgettable live shows. Zac, Henry, Kyle, and Tony met their lead singer, Jackie, while she was singing karaoke at their local bar. After immediately asking her to join the group, the band quickly got up and running. In their first year of releasing music, that instinct quickly translated into something undeniable: a rapidly growing audience, a breakout digital presence, and songs that began circulating far beyond the rooms where they were written.
Their music carries the emotional clarity of confessional writing, delivered through arrangements built for open air; guitars that swell and fracture, rhythms that push forward with quiet urgency, and vocals from Jackie that can ground you or release you. Songs like “Oxygen” and “Fall Back” feel equally at home in headphones at 2 a.m. or live with a sold-out crowd singing every lyric.
That connection has become central to the band’s identity. In a short span of time, Porch Light has translated early online traction into real-world scale, selling out their first headline shows across cities like New York, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, and beyond. The response has been immediate and enthusiastic, reflecting a group that feels less like it’s being introduced and more like it’s already been discovered by a cult fandom.
Now entering a new chapter, the band is preparing a debut album, set for release in 2026. Even at this early stage, Porch Light are defined by motion—between cities, between rooms, between versions of themselves. The music doesn’t try to resolve that movement so much as live inside it, glowing steadily at the edge of something larger still coming into focus.
