Alternative rock band Ben Folds Five is returning to the stage for the first time in 15 years in 2027, including a stop at ACL Live at The Moody Theater on Tuesday, April 20.
Only a handful of tour dates have been announced so far, starting April 12 in Knoxville, Tennessee, and ending April 24 in Birmingham, Alabama. In that two-week stretch, the band will also appear in two other Texas cities: Houston on the 21st and Irving on the 22nd.
Ben Folds Five started in 1993, and all the members in the current trio are original members: pianist Ben Folds, bassist Robert Sledge, drummer Darren Jessee. Their debut record, Whatever and Ever Amen, came out in 1997, making this a 20th anniversary tour. The band split up in 2013.
