Little Feat's farewell tour stops at the Clyde on Friday

The long-running rock band brings The Last Farewell Tour to Fort Wayne's Clyde Theatre on Nov. 13, between Indianapolis and Chicago, as it winds down full-scale touring.

Farewell tours are easy to be cynical about. Little Feat got ahead of that by naming theirs with a wink. On Friday it comes to the Clyde.

Little Feat play Clyde Theatre on Friday, Nov. 13, at 8pm. Tickets are available through eTix. The Clyde holds 2,150, and Fort Wayne sits in the middle of a tight Midwest run: Akron–Canton tonight, Cincinnati Tuesday, Indianapolis Wednesday, then Chicago the night after the Clyde, Champaign–Urbana on Sunday and St. Louis next Tuesday.

The band calls it The Last Farewell Tour, a tongue-in-cheek nod to their recent album *The Last Record*. When they announced it a year ago, the band described it as the beginning of a gradual retirement from full-scale touring after more than five decades on the road. It opened April 10 in Orlando, picked up a summer leg of 19 more dates, and then a fall leg that brings them through the Midwest this month.

It isn't over after this fall. Last month the band confirmed that 2027 will mark the finale and added spring dates including Des Moines and Wisconsin in May. Still, for Fort Wayne, this may well be the last time the band comes through on a full tour, and a Friday night at the Clyde is about as good a setting as anyone could ask for.

For Fort Wayne, this may well be the last time the band comes through on a full tour.

Alongside the original tour announcement, the band shared "Feathers And A Smile," a long-unheard song written by late co-founder Lowell George, recorded with his daughter, Inara George. It's a fitting bookend for a band that has kept George's songs at the center of its shows for decades, even as the lineup has changed around them.

A Little Feat show is a loose, rolling thing, part New Orleans groove, part blues, part country rock, with plenty of room for the band to stretch. The genres on the bill read rock, blues and folk, and on a good night you'll hear all three in a single song. The Clyde is built for exactly this: a big room that still feels close, a good sound system and a crowd that tends to stay on its feet once the groove settles in.

With an 8pm start on a Friday, there's no reason to rush dinner, but don't cut it close either. Farewell shows draw people who haven't been out in a while, and the lobby fills early. Buy through eTix, the official seller, and skip resale.

It's not often a band tells you plainly that it's the last time around. Little Feat have, with a grin, and Friday is Fort Wayne's chance to say goodbye properly.
