Maryland funk visionaries Pigeons Playing Ping Pong will ring in 2026 with a two-night New Year’s Eve run at Denver’s storied Ogden Theatre, set for Tuesday, December 30 and Wednesday, December 31, 2025. Marking their first-ever NYE run in Colorado, a state long woven into the band’s history, Pigeons will be joined both nights by local favorites Magic Beans, promising a groove-fueled sendoff to one of PPPP’s biggest years yet.
Known for their magnetic stage presence and adventurous improvisation, Pigeons are fresh off the announcement of their forthcoming studio album Feed The Fire (out October 3 via No Coincidence Records), and a massive fall tour that will bring them coast to coast. The Denver NYE shows will serve as a climactic finale to 2025, blending fan-favorite classics, new material, and the band’s trademark mix of funk, rock, and psychedelic energy.
Earlier this summer, Pigeons unveiled Feed The Fire’s lead single, “Calm Before The Storm,” a horn-driven, groove-laden anthem that showcases the band’s explosive blend of funk and rock. The track highlights PPPP’s signature tension-and-release dynamics, marrying taut rhythms with soaring crescendos that cement their reputation as architects of joyous, dance-floor-ready anthems.
LISTEN TO “Calm Before The Storm”
Most recently, the band shared their second single, “Hit The Ground Runnin’”, marking bassist Ben Carrey’s first-ever lead vocal in the studio. A slow-blooming, soulful jam that builds toward a triumphant guitar-driven peak, the song carries a hopeful message about perseverance and resilience, resonating as both a personal statement and a communal rallying cry. Together, the singles hint at Feed The Fire’s expansive sound and its place as the band’s most ambitious studio effort to date.
