Country Music | Tours & Concerts | 2026
If 2025 proved anything, it’s that country music has officially outgrown its lane. Sold-out stadiums, international headlines, and record-breaking attendance figures have turned what was once considered a regional genre into a genuinely global phenomenon. And if you thought things would slow down in 2026, think again.
From Morgan Wallen packing NFL stadiums across America to Luke Combs closing out his world tour at London’s Wembley Stadium, 2026 is shaping up to be one of the most stacked years in country music concert history. Whether you’re a die-hard fan who’s had tickets since November or someone who just realized their favorite artist is coming to town, here’s a complete breakdown of the biggest country music tours you need to know about this year.
Morgan Wallen — Still The Problem Tour
If there’s one tour that defines the scale of country music in 2026, it’s Morgan Wallen’s Still The Problem Tour. The Tennessee singer-songwriter is fresh off his fourth studio album I’m The Problem, which debuted at number one globally across seven countries and spent 13 non-consecutive weeks atop the Billboard 200. Now he’s taking that momentum into a 23-stadium run that is, simply put, enormous.
The tour kicked off in April in Minneapolis at U.S. Bank Stadium and threads through some of the biggest venues in North America, with most cities getting two back-to-back nights. Notable stops include Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville (Florida’s legendary Gator Bowl), Soldier Field in Chicago, and Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor — the same venue where Zach Bryan shattered the all-time concert attendance record last year.
The supporting lineup is deep and rotates throughout the run. Brooks & Dunn handle direct support on multiple dates, including Las Vegas, Indianapolis, Denver, and Chicago. Ella Langley, who recently made history as the first woman to simultaneously sit at number one on three major country charts, joins on dates including Denver and Pittsburgh. Thomas Rhett, HARDY, Gavin Adcock, and Vincent Mason round out the lineup across various stops.
As with his previous tours, a portion of every ticket sold benefits the Morgan Wallen Foundation, which supports youth programs in sports and music. In 2025 alone, those contributions enabled the foundation to deliver over $600,000 worth of instruments to schools in need across touring cities.
Tour runs: April – August 2026 Key dates: Minneapolis, Indianapolis, Las Vegas, Gainesville, Denver, Pittsburgh, Chicago, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Ann Arbor
Luke Combs — My Kinda Saturday Night Tour
Luke Combs has never been the kind of artist who does things halfway, and the My Kinda Saturday Night Tour is proof. The North Carolina singer — who recently surpassed Garth Brooks as the highest RIAA-certified country artist of all time with 168 million units sold — is taking his show to stadiums across North America and Europe in 2026, hitting eight countries along the way.
The tour launched on March 21 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas and has been charging through iconic football stadiums ever since, including Notre Dame Stadium in South Bend, Ohio Stadium in Columbus, Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, and Lambeau Field in Green Bay. After Canadian dates in Montreal and Toronto, Combs crosses the Atlantic for a European summer run that includes stops in Gothenburg, Paris, Amsterdam, Ireland’s Slane Castle, and Edinburgh, before wrapping at London’s Wembley Stadium in early August.
The supporting lineup is equally impressive, rotating between Dierks Bentley, Thomas Rhett, The Script, The Teskey Brothers, Jake Worthington, Thelma & James, Ty Myers, and The Castellows depending on the region and date.
“There’s nothing like a headline show on a full tour with all of my fans,” Combs said when announcing the tour. “We’re going to 8 different countries, bringing along a ton of great support, and by then will have a lot of new music to play.”
Tour runs: March – August 2026 Key dates: Las Vegas, Notre Dame, Columbus, Knoxville, Green Bay, Montreal, Toronto, Gothenburg, Paris, Amsterdam, Slane Castle, Edinburgh, Wembley Stadium (London)
Zach Bryan — With Heaven On Tour
Coming off the most-attended concert in American history — his 112,408-fan sellout at Michigan Stadium last fall — Zach Bryan is back on the road with his With Heaven On Tour, a 40-plus date stadium and amphitheater run that kicked off in St. Louis in early March and runs all the way through October.
Bryan launched the tour in support of his January 2026 album With Heaven On Top, and the setlists have been loaded with live debuts from that record, including the much-talked-about “Bad News” — his politically charged song that drew responses from DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and other White House officials — which Bryan performed live for the very first time at the St. Louis opener.
The tour features an eclectic and thoughtful roster of supporting artists, including Kings of Leon, Alabama Shakes, MJ Lenderman, Caamp, Gregory Alan Isakov, and Trampled By Turtles on select dates. The run eventually heads to Europe for summer stadium shows before returning stateside for major shows in San Diego, Denver, Arlington, and beyond.
Bryan has consistently delivered some of the most raw, unfiltered live performances in country music today — the kind of shows where 90,000 people somehow feel like they’re gathered around a campfire. With an international stage and a new record behind him, 2026 is shaping up to be his biggest year yet.
Tour runs: March – October 2026 Key dates: St. Louis, Tampa, San Antonio, Baton Rouge, Tulsa, London, Berlin, Oslo, Copenhagen, San Diego, Denver, Arlington, Auburn
Chris Stapleton — All-American Road Show
Chris Stapleton doesn’t tour like a pop star. He tours like a craftsman — carefully, deliberately, and with an eye toward doing it right rather than doing it big. That said, the All-American Road Show has quietly become one of the most beloved touring institutions in Americana and country music, and the 2026 edition is no different.
The 11-time Grammy winner’s latest run spans May through October, touching some of the most storied venues in North America. The tour opens on May 23 at Nissan Stadium in Nashville before moving through Charlotte’s Bank of America Stadium, Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Detroit’s Ford Field, Boston’s Fenway Park, and Cincinnati’s Paycor Stadium, among others.
The supporting cast is a genuine who’s-who of quality Americana: Lainey Wilson handles special guest duties on multiple stadium dates, while Zach Top opens at Fenway Park in Boston. Other artists rotating through the lineup include Ashley McBryde, Carter Faith, Grace Potter, Maggie Rose, Molly Tuttle, Nikki Lane, Allen Stone, Mike Campbell & The Dirty Knobs, and The Teskey Brothers.
Stapleton’s live show has always been a masterclass — Tennessee Whiskey, Starting Over, White Horse, and a deep catalog of songs that hit harder in a live setting than they do on record. If you haven’t seen him live, 2026 is your year.
Tour runs: May – October 2026 Key dates: Nashville, Charlotte, Tampa, Atlanta, Boston (Fenway Park), Cincinnati, Detroit, Toronto, Kansas City
Eric Church — Free the Machine Tour
Eric Church doesn’t do things the conventional way, and the Free the Machine Tour has been exactly what the name implies — loud, unpredictable, and unapologetically Church. The tour launched in January in Washington, D.C. at the intimate Anthem venue and has been working through arenas across the U.S. and Canada through April.
Church’s rotating lineup of openers has featured Ella Langley, Ashley McBryde, Caylee Hammack, 49 Winchester, Stephen Wilson Jr., and Kashus Culpepper on select dates. Those are not filler names — that’s a legitimate who’s-who of the artists doing it the right way on the fringes of mainstream country right now.
If you’ve seen Church live before, you know what you’re getting: a three-plus hour marathon of a show, zero concessions to trends, and a setlist that stretches from his rowdiest early singles all the way through his most recent work. For those who haven’t yet, get there.
Tour runs: January – April 2026 Key dates: Washington D.C., Omaha, Sioux Falls, Baltimore, Columbus, Evansville, Lexington, Springfield, Greensboro, Knoxville
Post Malone & Jelly Roll — The Big A** Stadium Tour (Part 2)
Nobody predicted that Post Malone’s pivot into country would produce one of the most dominant touring packages of 2025 — and yet here we are, back for round two. Post Malone and Jelly Roll’s Big A Stadium Tour Part 2 launches in May and runs through late July, revisiting what was one of last year’s most talked-about live experiences.
The two artists make an unlikely but undeniably compelling pair on stage — Post’s melodic sensitivity colliding with Jelly Roll’s raw emotional intensity. For fans of country music at its most genre-blurring, this is the summer’s must-see pairing.
And in a clever bit of counter-programming, Jelly Roll is also heading out on his own Little A Shed Tour this summer — a more intimate amphitheater and shed run that swaps massive stadiums for the South, Midwest, Northeast, and Pacific Northwest. It’s a smart pivot for an artist who clearly understands that different settings call for different experiences.
Big A Stadium Tour runs:** May – July 2026 Little A Shed Tour runs:** May – July 2026
Hardy — Country! Country! Tour!
Hardy has never been subtle, and his Country! Country! Tour! — launched in February and running all the way through August — is exactly as loud and unapologetic as the exclamation points in its name suggest. The tour features Tucker Wetmore and Mitchell Tenpenny on select dates and spans venues across the U.S. from coast to coast.
Hardy’s blend of rock-infused country has built him a rabid following that’s different in feel from the mainstream country crowd — a little rowdier, a little harder, and a lot of fun live. If you’re looking for a summer show that’s guaranteed to leave your ears ringing, this one belongs on your radar.
Tour runs: February – August 2026
Tim McGraw — Pawn Shop Guitar Tour
Country music legend Tim McGraw is heading back out on the road with his Pawn Shop Guitar Tour, a 33-date North American run kicking off in July and running through late September. The three-time Grammy winner is hitting arenas and outdoor amphitheaters across the country in support of his forthcoming single of the same name.
McGraw has been one of the most reliable live performers in country music for three decades, and there’s something to be said for the kind of setlist depth that comes with a catalog as deep as his. From Live Like You Were Dying to Humble and Kind and everything in between, a Tim McGraw show is never just a concert — it’s a trip through the last 30 years of country music’s most enduring hits.
Tour runs: July – September 2026
Dierks Bentley — Off the Map Tour
After spending much of 2025 as a supporting act (appearing on both the Morgan Wallen and Luke Combs stadium tours), Dierks Bentley steps back out as a headliner with his Off the Map Tour, which runs June through mid-July. The 16-date run hits amphitheaters and outdoor venues across the country.
Bentley has always been one of country music’s most consistent performers — someone who can move between rowdy tailgate anthems and deeply personal Americana without ever feeling out of place. His shows are high-energy, well-crafted, and consistently excellent. The Off the Map Tour is a welcome reminder that you don’t need a stadium to put on a great show.
Tour runs: June – July 2026
Cody Johnson — Live ’26 Tour
Cody Johnson has spent the last several years quietly becoming one of the most respected traditional country artists in the game, and the Live ’26 Tour — a 30-concert run from February through September — is his biggest headline push yet. The tour features Clint Black, Randy Houser, Scotty McCreery, Kip Moore, and Jon Pardi on select dates, a lineup that reads like a who’s-who of country artists who still actually care about the craft.
CJ has built his following the old-fashioned way — relentless touring, authentic songwriting, and a live show that never phones it in. If you haven’t seen him perform, 2026 is a perfect time to fix that.
Tour runs: February – September 2026
Megan Moroney — The Cloud 9 Tour
One of the most exciting rising stars in country music, Megan Moroney, is ascending to the next level with The Cloud 9 Tour, a world tour kicking off in late May in Columbus, Ohio and eventually making its way to France, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. The tour celebrates her highly anticipated third album and follows a year in which Moroney firmly established herself as one of the most compelling voices in mainstream country.
Her blend of emotionally direct songwriting and classic country sensibility has earned her a passionate fanbase that has grown remarkably fast — and the scale of this tour reflects exactly how far she’s come in a short time.
Tour runs: May – October 2026 Key dates: Columbus, U.S. dates through summer, then France, Netherlands, U.K.
Brooks & Dunn — Neon Moon Tour
In a bit of genuinely exciting news for fans of classic country, the legendary duo of Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn is hitting the road this fall for the Neon Moon Tour, a seven-date run kicking off September 10 and running through early October. Brooks & Dunn were one of the most dominant acts in country music throughout the 1990s, and any chance to see them perform live is not one to pass up lightly.
Tour runs: September – October 2026
How to Make the Most of Country Music Tours in 2026
A few practical notes for anyone trying to lock down tickets this year:
Most major stadium tours sell out quickly — Morgan Wallen’s Still The Problem Tour was largely sold out within hours of going on sale in November 2025. For sold-out shows, secondary market platforms like StubHub and Vivid Seats are your best options, though prices can be significantly above face value for in-demand dates.
For artists like Luke Combs, joining the official fan club (The Bootleggers) provides early access to presales and is worth doing if you’re a committed fan. Chris Stapleton’s fan club similarly offered early access to All-American Road Show dates before the general public.
Many tours benefit charitable causes — Morgan Wallen’s foundation, for example, directs a portion of every ticket to youth programs in music and sports. Worth knowing when you buy.
And finally: if your favorite artist is coming to a smaller or less glamorous venue in your region, consider going even if it’s not your first choice city. Some of the best concert experiences happen in mid-sized rooms, and plenty of the artists on this list still shine brightest up close.
The Bottom Line
Country music is on a run unlike anything the genre has seen before, and 2026 is stacking up to be one of the greatest years for live shows in recent memory. From Morgan Wallen and Luke Combs filling NFL stadiums to Zach Bryan debuting controversial new songs in front of 70,000 people, from Chris Stapleton curating some of the most thoughtful touring lineups in music to Post Malone and Jelly Roll rewriting the rulebook entirely — there has never been a better time to be a fan.
Pick your shows. Buy your tickets. And get loud.
