Big Star's Third Tickets

Big Star's Third is a communal, evolving tribute project born in 2010 after the passing of Alex Chilton. What started as a focused effort to perform and reinterpret Big Star's deep cut Third/Sister Lovers material has grown into a collaborative touring ensemble. With core members anchoring most performances and a rotating slate of guest artists, the project offers a haunting, orchestral-infused rock experience that honors the original recordings while exploring new textures and moods.

Based in the United States, Big Star's Third has delighted fans across cities with intimate, powerful live renditions. The lineup—fronted by drummer Jody Stephens, bassist Mike Mills, guitarist Chris Stamey, and guitarist Mitch Easter—serves as a musical core that welcomes a rotating cast of performers, ensuring each show feels fresh while staying true to the spirit of Third/Sister Lovers.

From box sets like Complete Third (2016) to live releases such as Thank You, Friends: Big Star's Third Live... And More (2017), the project has produced a documented archive of its reimaginings. The performances blend rock with orchestral arrangements, often described as haunting and experimental, and they continue to resonate with fans who appreciate Big Star’s enduring influence on alternative rock.

While 2025 has no confirmed Big Star's Third dates, the project historically toured from 2016 through 2022, with a notable 2022 Glendale, CA appearance among others. For fans in search of insider access, following official channels provides timely updates on future engagements.
