Jon Bellion to bring 'Father Figure' on the road to Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Two sold-out nights at Forest Hills Stadium last August left Jon Bellion fans with two distinct feelings. Firstly, awe. And secondly, the sinking feeling that they had no idea when he'd be back on stage. Or if.

It's a reasonable fear. Bellion had already gone nearly seven years between solo albums, spending that stretch writing for seemingly everyone but himself, from Miley Cyrus to Maroon 5, while quietly becoming a father of three and untangling himself from a predatory label deal.

Luckily for fans, Bellion has announced he will take Father Figure to Red Rocks Amphitheatre on June 11, 2026. As one of the most storied outdoor stages in the world, Red Rocks' sandstone formations rise like a natural cathedral around the crowd.

Father Figure, his long awaited third studio album, is the fuel behind all of it. Released in June 2025, the album leans into the tension between Bellion's world of fame and musicianship and his deeply personal experience of fatherhood. In a note to his fanbase, Bellion described the album as:

"A knock-down, drag-out fight physically and spiritually… I am creating to the best of my ability to turn being a present father into a masterpiece."

It's a record that earns that description. Father Figure swings between breakbeat-driven swagger and quiet acoustic reflection, detouring through rock, country, gospel, and spoken word while stitching a thread of tension between the reality he knows and the one his kids live in. Pharrell Williams, Luke Combs, Jon Batiste, and Teddy Swims all appear as collaborators, with "Why," featuring Combs, earning more than 25 million streams to date.

Bellion has always been keen on keeping a close relationship with those millions of listeners, launching his own forum in 2025 to post updates, converse with fans, and even launch exclusive presales. Ahead of the Red Rocks show, Bellion expressed his gratitude for the unexpected reception of Father Figure.

"My gratitude for feeling more in demand for my work than ever before in my career as an artist of 10+ years feels amazing."

For anyone who missed Forest Hills, the Red Rocks show promises much of the same magic that made those two nights so difficult to let go of. Bellion built the Forest Hills set in three distinct acts: a stadium-ready opener anchored by the title track's pounding piano and swelling chorus; a full orchestral reimagining of his catalog drawn from his 2020 virtual Cove City sessions; and a closing run that got heavier and more personal, closing with just his voice and the spoken-word of "My Boy."

June 11 sits at the center of what is shaping up to be a landmark stretch for Bellion. The Forest Hills nights last August started it. A September 24 date at Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles closes it out. Three iconic outdoor venues across the country, one album that earned every one of them, and an artist who spent the better part of a decade making sure the spotlight found everyone but himself.

That, it seems, is finally changing.
