Rooster Teeth is hitting the road in the new year for its first-ever podcast tour, aptly dubbed A Very Normal Podcast Tour.
The 10-city sweep will kick off on Jan. 15 in the company’s native Austin, Texas, and will see podcasts from The Roost – Rooster Teeth’s resident podcast network – recording live versions in front of audiences.
Normal isn’t the only IRL experience that Rooster Teeth has planned for 2022, it says, after having paused all gatherings in 2020 and 2021. Achievement Hunter Live – a gaming variety comedy show – is hitting the west coast during multiple stops in March and April. And its flagship RTX event is returning to the Austin Convention Center from July 1 to 3.

Podcasts to be featured on tour include The Rooster Teeth Podcast (hosted by Gustavo Sorola and Barbara Dunkelman) and Face Jam (hosted by Michael Jones and Jordan Cwierz), with the full roster to be released in coming weeks. Each stop will feature an opening and headlining podcast, with tickets ranging from $45 to $75. VIP passes will also be available, including pre-show Q&As and signed posters.
Rooster Teeth has done other live podcasts before, but this marks its first tour. COVID protocols will be venue and city-dependent — and Rooster Teeth will implement additional protocols if necessary — but face masks will be required at every stop.
“During the pandemic, it was so important for us to connect with audiences online through our podcasts,” Sorola, who is also the co-founder of Rooster Teeth, said in a statement. “Now that we’re able to return to live events, we’re so excited to welcome back our longtime fans and also meet new listeners who found us during that time.”
The Roost counts 280 million cumulative podcast views and 12 million monthly downloads, it says.
