2026 will mark the 17th year of the highly successful, hit-filled summer package, THE “HAPPY TOGETHER” TOUR. The touring sensation that has crisscrossed the nation, delighting audiences for over a decade and a half, returns this summer with a show full of chart-topping hits from the ‘60s and ‘70s – an undeniable 60+ BILLBOARD Top 40 smashes. The Tour is once again joined by The Association, The Trigs, Chicago lead singer 1985-2016 Jason Scheff, Gary Puckett, The Fortunes, Ron Dante from the Archies and the Turtles, The Vogues and The Cowsills. 

Joining THE “HAPPY TOGETHER” TOUR 2026 are THE ASSOCIATION, who enjoyed massive radio success in the ‘60s, with such #1 hits as “Cherish,” “Windy,” “Never My Love” and “Along Comes Mary”. This iconic vocal group was a staple on the radio airways in the 1960’s. 

We are proud to be debuting for the first time on THE “HAPPY TOGETHER” TOUR…THE TROGGS. They bring their signature English beat along with all their Solid Gold Hits. Their most famous songs include the US chart-topper “Wild Thing”, “With a Girl Like You” and “Love Is All Around”, all of which sold over 1 million copies and were awarded gold discs.[6]”Wild Thing” is ranked No. 257 on the Rolling Stone magazine’s list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time and was an influence on garage rock and punk rock. 

Making his first appearance on THE “HAPPY TOGETHER” TOUR is CHICAGO lead singer 1985-2016 JASON SCHEFF with such chart topping 1970s Hits as “25 or 6 to 4”, “Just You And Me“, “If You Leave Me Now” and “Feeling Stronger Every Day”. In mid-1985, 23-year-old Scheff joined the multiplatinum band Chicago, His lead vocals debuted on the 1986 single “25 or 6 to 4”, a remake of their 1970 hit, then followed up with “Will You Still Love Me?” Jason remained Chicago’s Lead Singer for over 3 decades…incredible! 

We are thrilled to have GARY PUCKETT back on THE “HAPPY TOGETHER” TOUR. Gary’s trademark voice will be belting out his hits one more time. Fans will affectionately remember “Young Girl,” “Over You,” “Woman, Woman,” “This Girl Is A Woman Now,” “Lady Willpower” and “Don’t Give In To Him” and more. 

Another new addition to our Touring Family is THE FORTUNES, direct from Birmingham, England. The Fortunes first came to prominence and international acclaim in 1965, when “You’ve Got Your Troubles” broke into the US, Canadian and UK Top 10s. Afterwards they had a succession of hits including “Here It Comes Again” and “Here Comes That Rainy Day Feeling Again”; continuing into the 1970s with more global success. 

RON DANTE was the lead singer of The Archies, who was best known for the classic #1 hit of 1969, “Sugar, Sugar.” Other big Archie’s Hit Songs include “Bang-Shang-A-Lang” and “Jingle Jangle.” Ron Dante had another top 10 hit in the summer of 1969 with “Tracy”. Ron famously was the lead singer of The Turtles from 2018 through 2025. He will continue to lead audience and the rest of the Artists on the Tour into our signature finale with the Tour’s theme song “HAPPY TOGETHER”. 

THE VOGUES are universally acknowledged for their harmony-driven soaring pop sound. They had numerous Top 10 hits with singles such as “Five O’clock World”, “You’re The One,” “My Special Angel” and “Turn Around Look At Me,” among others. Vocally incredible and awe-inspiring…The Vogues. 

Rounding out the bill are THE COWSILLS, the harmonious singing family (two brothers and a sister) that inspired the smash ‘60s hit television show, THE PARTRIDGE FAMILY. They are sure to delight with their best-known songs, “Hair,” “Indian Lake,” “The Rain The Park & Other Things (I Love The Flower Girl)”, Love, American Style and more. 

The tour has played more than 50 plus shows every year and THE “HAPPY TOGETHER TOUR” 2026 will be no exception.
