Aly & AJ headline The Places to Run Tour 2026 at The Ritz in Raleigh, North Carolina on March 3, 2026, continuing their evolution into one of the most respected voices in modern indie pop and pop-rock, a lane critics consistently describe as melodic, emotionally literate, and grounded in classic songwriting discipline rather than trend-chasing. Over the past decade, Aly & AJ have deliberately moved away from their early mainstream pop origins into a sound shaped by analog synths, live-band arrangements, and lyrics that favor directness and adult introspection, aligning them with the contemporary indie canon while retaining undeniable pop instincts. The Places to Run Tour spans an extensive North American run, moving through major and secondary markets across the United States with select international dates anticipated, positioning the tour as both a career statement and a reaffirmation of their independence-era momentum. Their recent recordings—following the critically praised With Love From (2023) and a steady stream of new singles and expanded material—emphasize clarity of voice, rhythmic restraint, and lyrical honesty, all of which translate strongly in a live setting. With multi-platinum credentials, a catalog that bridges generations, and sustained advocacy work around mental health, women’s rights, and creative independence, Aly & AJ arrive in Raleigh not as nostalgia figures, but as artists fully in command of their present and future. https://alyandaj.com/
