TULSA, Okla. (Oct. 21, 2025) — Celebrated as a genre-defining, driving force in alternative rock, Better Than Ezra is on tour and bringing its '90s sound to Hard Rock Live inside Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa on Saturday, Feb. 21, at 8 p.m.

For more than 35 years, Better Than Ezra has been captivating audiences with timeless melodies, quick-witted songwriting and a sound that resonates across generations.

The New Orleans-bred band first broke through with its platinum-selling album “Deluxe” and its era-defining hit “Good,” earning it spots on Billboard’s lists of the “100 Greatest Alternative Artists of All Time” and “100 Greatest Alternative Songs of All Time.” The band has delivered chart-topping hits like “Desperately Wanting,” built a devoted fan base known as “Ezralites” and cemented its place in pop culture with nods ranging from MTV fame to a classic “Saturday Night Live” skit.

The latest release, “Super Magick,” is the band's first studio album in a decade and showcases the band’s continued evolution with a blend of genres, from Britpop to country to dub-inspired rock. Produced by frontman Kevin Griffin and Emery Dobyns, the record highlights the band’s signature blend of sticky melodies, clever storytelling and heartfelt rock-and-roll energy. The lead single, “Mystified,” explores themes of the American dream gone wrong, while tracks like “Live a Little” and “This Time” showcase its knack for pairing emotional resonance with infectious hooks.

Better Than Ezra has sold out amphitheaters and arenas around the globe, launched the Better Than Ezra Foundation to support its hometown of New Orleans and co-founded the annual Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival. The band’s legacy includes Taylor Swift’s cover of its song “Breathless” and a catalog of hits that continue to inspire new generations of fans.

Tickets start at $24.50 and go on sale Oct. 10.
