Michael Shannon and Jason Narducy are taking R.E.M.'s Document on the road. The actor and the musician announced a 2027 tour on which their band will perform the album in full for its 40th anniversary, according to deadline.com.
The run spans 27 dates across 23 cities, opening February 3 and closing May 15, 2027.
The project extends a tradition for the pair. In 2023, Shannon, Narducy and their band performed R.E.M.'s Murmur in full, and over the past two years they have done the same for Fables of the Reconstruction and Lifes Rich Pageant.
Their 2026 tour brought out some notable guests: Michael Stipe sang with the group in Brooklyn, while Peter Buck and Mike Mills joined for two shows in Athens, GA.
Document marked a commercial breakthrough for R.E.M., becoming the band's first album to reach the Top 10 and be certified platinum, and it earned a place on Rolling Stone's 2003 list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. The tour news arrives roughly a week after the 15th anniversary of R.E.M.'s breakup.
