Incubus kicked off their 2024 “Morning View + the Hits Tour” in Detroit, Michigan last weekend, where they played their 2001 album Morning View in full. The tour comes on the heels of Morning View XXIII, a re-recorded version of the album that arrived back in May.
Incubus intended to have their 20th anniversary Morning View celebration in 2021, but the pandemic had other plans — instead of the full-fledged tour they’ve now finally embarked on, Incubus held a special livestreamed performance at the house that Morning View was recorded at in October 2021.
The group also commemorated the album with a hometown performance at the Hollywood Bowl last fall, where Lizzo appeared as a guest to play flute on closing track “Aqueous Transmission.” They previously brought their 1999 breakout LP Make Yourself on tour to celebrate that album’s 20th birthday in 2019 — now, it’s Morning View’s turn.
The show began with openers Coheed and Cambria, who are joining Incubus on each date of the tour. Then, Incubus ripped through Morning View from start to finish. After a brief encore break, Incubus returned to the stage to play some of their non-Morning View hits, including “Anna Molly,” “Stellar,” “Pardon Me,” “Dig,” and “Drive.” They even busted out a cover of The Beatles’ “Come Together.” Check out the setlist below, and see photos of the shows in Detroit and Chicago from over the weekend.
Incubus has a handful of dates left on their “Morning View + the Hits Tour,” which continues through the next two weeks with dates in Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Tampa, Austin, and more, concluding with a San Francisco show on September 12th. Get tickets to see Incubus here.
The band’s frontman Brandon Boyd also chatted with Consequence earlier this year to discuss Morning View, the way the songs have transformed over time when played live, and the group’s extensive history. Revisit the interview here.
