Richard Thompson at Moore Theatre

Richard Thompson's 2026 Tour

You know our energy when it comes down to hearing music at the Moore any time we visit. We want MORE fun with our friends at our temple theatre planted right here in the middle of the city. MORE musical greats and legends (Like Richard Thompson) gracing our stages and giving us MORE “remember when” moments. And even more so folks - we want MORE of you all right here in the crowd next to us! WHY?! ‘Cause our 2026 season is BOUND to be a hit - and this April we are starting off that energy RIGHT. Right here on Thursday April 16th - y’all ready for a treat? ‘Cause Richard rarely rolls alone when he goes anywhere these days - and not today, either! He’s got Zara Phillips and Margo Cilker hitting the stage right before he does, so basically: this is a once in a lifetime show! And we’re soooo excited for you to be a part of it all. 

Richard Thompson is one of those artists whose history runs so deep - it’s hard to even imagine where to begin when talking about his story. A founding member of the Fairport Convention, Thompson helped shape British folk-rock as we know it in modern times, before carving out a solo career when it was all said and done and that has now spanned decades, continents, and millions of fans along the way - not bad for a boy from Notting Hill, don’t ya think. He’s a master guitarist, a dedicated storyteller, and a masterful songwriter who knows humor and heartbreak all at once. His live shows are magnetic - and WHENEVER he’s in town, it’s a must see folks. This Seattle stop is part of his ongoing 2026 North American tour, and the Moore is exactly the type of place you go when you’re looking for a nostalgic place to take all the music to the face. And perfect for us - now's the time to experience it. 

Joining Richard for the evening are Margo Cilker and Zara Phillips - two artists who fit seamlessly into the night with Richard. Margo Cilker has been steadily earning praise for her earthy, lived-in songwriting, and songs that have traveled quite literally all the way across the world to get to us here. Her voice carries an air of warmth while also feeling far and cold, pulling from folk and Americana traditions while sounding like the new wave of her own story. Zara Phillips brings a more intimate, introspective energy, leaning into melody and lyric in a way that quietly commands attention. Together, these openers set the tone before Mr.T takes the stage - so AKA, you’ll wanna get here early folks. 

If you love music that stays on all our hearts just a little too long - you’ll wanna be here for this next song y’all. Grab the crew, we can’t wait to see you!
