Paramount Theatre
She is punk’s poet laureate, she is a master of merging the power of the spoken word and propulsive rock energy, she is a rock and roll seer, the high priestess of uncompromising poetry and the thrilling sounds of punk, and as spirited and distinctive as ever.
She is Patti Smith, and she is slated to hit the road with a fall tour, performing her iconic album, ‘Horses, in its entirety for the first time in two decades - and Seattle, she is headed your way! That’s right - Patti Smith and her band will be rolling into the Paramount Theatre Seattle on 10 November 2025 with their ‘Horses’ tour!
This is the one concert of the season you can’t miss, and with tickets already flying from the insanely low price of $183, it’s guaranteed to be sold-out! So do what you have to and scooch on over to the ‘Get Tickets’ section and secure your seat right now!
It’s the 50th anniversary of ‘Horses’, the 1975 debut album that catapulted Patti Smith right to the top of the punk movement, and what better way to celebrate than with a tour that will see her perform the album in its entirety alongside her band? Let’s be frank: there can be no better news for any punk, hardcore fan, music lover, newbies, curious ones, and those looking for an exceptional evening filled with the power of music!
Apart from cementing herself as force in the New York-based punk rock movement, ‘Horses’, boasting bangers such as ‘Redondo Beach’ and ‘Free Money’, is rated as a seminal album in punk and even later rock genres, appears on numerous lists as one of the greatest albums of all time, and was also selected by the Library of Congress to be included in the National Recording Registry as a “culturally, historically, and aesthetically significant work”. It’s a unique combination of urgent and vivid poetry with the spikey, minimal, three-chord structures and sounds of punk rock, an amalgamation of the pounding rhythms and the text that became the root of punk rock - the music that laid the cornerstones of the punk rock movement.
Patti Smith is “moving, powerful, and unexpected, a perfect reminder that, twelve years after her last album, Patti Smith is still in constant motion.” Apart from the incredibly impassioned work released already, Patti Smith still has a lot of lyrics that want to be sung, poetry that wants to be delivered, and music that wants to be heard. She is still revolutionary, still blazing, still dynamite, still fiery, and still inspirational.
The ‘Horses’ tour is slated to criss-cross through Europe and North America, kicking off in Dublin, Ireland, early October 2025, visiting all the major venues, before wrapping up at the end of November 2025 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Patti Smith will be performing alongside her longtime sidekicks - drummer Jay Lee Daugherty, guitarist Lenny Kaye, keyboardist and bassist Tony Shanahan, and her guitarist-son, Jackson Smith.
What better venue to get up close and personal with the high priestess of punk, than the Paramount Theatre Seattle? The respected venue has a rich history of A-listers taking its stage, and boasts room for up to 3,000 fans, spread across a general admission area, an orchestra floor, loge, and three mezzanines.
Tickets are bound to sell out soon, so make sure to get yours in hand now!
