The Oak Ridge Boys bring 'Buried Treasures' to DECC Symphony Hall on Nov. 13

Two weeks after their new album came out, the country harmony group plays a Friday night in Duluth.

There's a particular sound when four voices land on the same chord and a room of 2,400 people goes quiet to hear it. Duluth gets to hear it on a Friday in November.

The Oak Ridge Boys play DECC Symphony Hall on Friday, Nov. 13, 2026, with music starting at 7 p.m. Tickets are on sale through Ticketmaster.

They arrive with something new. *Buried Treasures*, the group's latest album, was set for an Oct. 30 release on Lightning Rod Records, Music Row reported in September. That makes the Duluth show one of the first chances to hear the new material on a stage, two weeks after release.

It's also a show that comes with some history. The group spent its recent years on the American Made Farewell Tour, and American Songwriter covered the change of plans that kept them on the road into 2025. Joe Bonsall, their longtime tenor, died in 2024; Ben James, who replaced him as tenor, is with the group on the 2025 American Made Christmas Tour, according to SGNScoops. The band's own site calls the holiday run a tradition. Fans who have followed them for decades know every lineup change is felt.

Every time the Oaks come back is a reminder that it could be the last one.

Duluth is one stop on a busy late-fall run. Before arriving here the group plays Branson on Nov. 9, and afterward they head to East Texas on Nov. 19, back to Branson on Nov. 20, the Mississippi Gulf Coast on Nov. 27, Chicago's suburbs on Dec. 11 and Rochester on Dec. 13. Minnesota gets two dates on that list, but this is the one up north.

DECC Symphony Hall suits a group built on harmony. It seats about 2,400 people, a concert hall rather than an arena. With a 7 p.m. start, this is an early evening, which suits a crowd that likely includes three generations of the same family.

Practical notes: it's a Friday in November on the lake, so dress for the walk in from your car, and leave time for the line at the doors. Sit anywhere you can see faces. Half of what makes this group work is watching them sing to each other.

Full details are on our show page. Bring whoever first played you the Oak Ridge Boys, and sing the low part if you can reach it.
