Alan Doyle live concert in Rhode Island

Alan Doyle is set to play Newport on Friday, April 24, with a Rhode Island stop that landed in this week’s Weekend 401 events roundup. (oceanstatemedia.org) Ocean State Media’s listing says “Catch Alan Doyle live” in a package of April 24–26 picks from Newport to Woonsocket. The concert itself is booked for 8 p.m. Friday at the JPT Film + Event Center, also known as the Jane Pickens Theater, at 49 Touro St. in Newport. (oceanstatemedia.org) (janepickens.com) The Jane Pickens listing says Doyle will be joined by Bandits on the Run. The venue put tickets on sale on Oct. 24, 2025, through Etix. (janepickens.com) The Newport date is part of a short Northeast run on Doyle’s current tour calendar. His official site lists Boston on April 23, Newport on April 24, Nashua on April 25 and New York City on April 26. (alandoyle.ca) Jane Pickens is promoting the show around Doyle’s album *Welcome Home*. The venue says it is his fourth full-length solo studio album and his 20th release overall, and describes Doyle as a 14-time JUNO Award nominee after his years with Great Big Sea. (janepickens.com) That gives the Newport stop a clear place in his post–Great Big Sea career: a theater date built around solo material rather than a band reunion bill. The Weekend 401 mention also puts the concert alongside Ballet Rhode Island and Roomful of Blues as one of the state’s featured arts events for the weekend. (janepickens.com) (oceanstatemedia.org) For Rhode Island fans, the timing is tight: Doyle plays Newport on Friday night, April 24, before the tour moves north and then south over the next two days. The local listing is already live, and the venue page has the ticket link and show details in one place. (alandoyle.ca) (janepickens.com)
