Folk legend Judy Collins is officially taking her final bow on the touring circuit.
The 86-year-old “Both Sides Now” icon just announced a massive farewell run called the Sweet Judy Blue Eyes Tour — and it kicks off in a very on-brand way: on July 4, at the “America Made in Virginia: 250 Years Together” celebration in Williamsburg, Virginia.
Before the official launch, Collins will warm up with a handful of June shows in New England. Then she’ll head across the country (and even to Hawaii) with a rotating cast of special guests that includes Richard Thompson, The High Kings, Bruce Cockburn, Elles Bailey, and Livingston Taylor — with more names expected to be revealed later.
And if fans aren’t ready to say goodbye? Collins isn’t totally closing the door. After the main run, she’s also planning a Sweet Judy Blue Eyes – Celebration Encore, described as a set of encore performances meant to bring longtime listeners — and curious newcomers — in for one last round.
Tickets and details are available through Collins’ official website.
