Joe Jackson + Band - Hope and Fury Tour 2026

May 16, 2026 | 8:00 PM

Arriving in the middle of the rush of angry young men during the late 1970s, Joe Jackson swiftly established himself as one the great unpredictable talents to emerge during rock's new wave. Initially playing nervy, punk-inspired pop/rock -- his breakthrough single "Is She Really Going Out with Him?" married a smooth melody with barbed lyrics, the racket of "I'm the Man" rivalled The Clash -- Jackson branched out into reggae and jump blues before settling into the sophisticated songsmith of Night & Day. Designed as a salute to Cole Porter, Night & Day had a sleek, synth-speckled sheen, and "Steppin' Out" and "Breaking Us in Two" slid onto airwaves in 1982 and became hits that gave Jackson the leeway to continue to chase his muse over the subsequent decades. While Jackson never abandoned pop/rock -- he recorded an explicit sequel to Night & Day in 2000 and took his touring band into the studio to cut 2019's Fool while they were road-tested and hot -- he frequently pursued projects far afield from the mainstream, such as several sets of classical music, a 2012 tribute album to Duke Ellington, and What a Racket!, a collection of music hall music newly written under the guise of "Max Champion."
