AVTT/PTTN, a collaboration between The Avett Brothers and Mike Patton, will release the new album “AVTT/PTTN” next month. The group will make its festival debut at Big Ears in Knoxville, Tennessee, on March 28, 2026.
The performance by AVTT/PTTN will be one of several “additionally ticketed” events at the Big Ears Festival (March 26-29), where festival passholders will receive early access and preferred pricing for reserved seats for the show. Any remaining tickets will be offered in a general public on-sale. Exact days of the pre-sale and on-sale will be announced by Big Ears within the next couple of weeks.
“We have saved our virgin live performance for a worthy suitor… and they have Big Ears,” Patton said. “We are delighted to be playing at this exciting and forward-thinking festival.”
The new album “AVTT/PTTN” is expected Nov. 14 via Thirty Tigers, Ramseur Records and Ipecac Recordings. Pre-order here.
The upcoming album is composed of eight original songs written by the three artists together (plus one folk traditional) and produced by Mike, Scott, and Grammy-winning engineer Dana Nielsen (Metallica, Rihanna).
