Country music fans, get ready: Chris Stapleton is gearing up for a blockbuster 2026, with the announcement of 24 new dates for his All-American Road Show tour. The news, dropped on January 8, 2026, has electrified the country music scene and promises to bring Stapleton’s signature sound to some of the biggest venues across North America. According to Taste of Country, Stapleton’s expanded tour is no small affair—it includes stops at major NFL stadiums like Nashville’s Nissan Stadium, Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium, and Charlotte’s Bank of America Stadium.
The tour will kick off in style on January 10, 2026, at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood, Florida. That show, along with a follow-up on January 11 at the same venue, sold out quickly after being previously announced, as reported by USA Today. For those who missed out, there’s still hope: tickets for the newly announced shows will go on sale January 16 at 10 a.m. local time, with fan club and Citi cardmember pre-sales running from January 13 through January 15. Fans eager to secure their spot can visit chrisstapleton.com/tour or ticketmaster.com for details.
But Stapleton isn’t hitting the road alone. The 2026 All-American Road Show boasts a star-studded and rotating lineup of opening acts. The reigning CMA New Artist of the Year and Entertainer of the Year, Lainey Wilson, will join select dates, along with Zach Top, Ashley McBryde, Maggie Rose, Grace Potter, Nikki Lane, and Mike Campbell and the Dirty Knobs. Other nights will see Carter Faith, Allen Stone, Molly Tuttle, and the Teskey Brothers gracing the stage before Stapleton’s headlining performance. According to Taste of Country, this rotating cast ensures each show will have its own unique flair.
Florida is getting more than its fair share of Stapleton this year. After the sold-out Hollywood dates in January, he’ll return to the Sunshine State for a June 11 show at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville and a June 13 blowout at Tampa’s Raymond James Stadium. Special guests Lainey Wilson and Allen Stone are set to open the Tampa show, making it a can’t-miss event for country fans in the region, as highlighted by USA Today.
Stapleton’s 2026 tour is packed with highlights beyond Florida. He’ll be appearing at the Gulf Coast Jam in Panama City on May 29, and the schedule reads like a who’s-who of iconic American venues. From Dolby Live at Park MGM in Las Vegas to Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco, and from Hersheypark Stadium in Pennsylvania to Fenway Park in Boston, the tour is a coast-to-coast celebration of country music’s enduring popularity. The tour will wrap up on October 9 in Kansas City, Missouri, at Morton Amphitheater, giving fans across the country ample opportunity to catch Stapleton live.
The All-American Road Show isn’t just a tour name—it’s become a brand in its own right, synonymous with Stapleton’s rise to the top of the country music world. Since its inception, the tour has brought together some of the genre’s most talented performers and has helped cement Stapleton’s reputation as a must-see live act. According to Taste of Country, the 2026 edition continues that tradition, expanding the tour’s reach to more cities and bigger stadiums than ever before.
This latest tour announcement comes at a particularly high point in Stapleton’s career. He’s fresh off celebrating the 10-year anniversary of his debut album, Traveller, which, as USA Today notes, launched his performing career and made history by re-entering the Billboard 200 all-genre album chart at No. 1, where it remained for two consecutive weeks. The album’s success set the stage for a decade of accolades, including Stapleton becoming the first artist to win Album of the Year, Male Vocalist of the Year, and New Artist of the Year at the CMA Awards in the same year.
Stapleton’s list of hits is as long as it is impressive. Songs like “Tennessee Whiskey,” “Broken Halos,” “Traveller,” and “White Horse” (the latter featuring a music video with actor Josh Brolin) have become modern country classics, earning him a devoted fan base and critical acclaim. His songwriting prowess, honed over years in Nashville, continues to resonate with audiences nationwide.
And the accolades keep coming. Stapleton is nominated for four Grammy Awards at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards, including Best Country Song for “A Song To Sing” with Miranda Lambert, Best Country Solo Performance for “Bad As I Used To Be,” and two nominations in the Best Country Duo/Group Performance category. As USA Today reports, these nominations add to an already monumental year for the singer-songwriter, underscoring his continued relevance and appeal in a rapidly evolving music landscape.
The excitement surrounding the 2026 All-American Road Show is palpable, and not just among fans. Industry insiders point to Stapleton’s ability to consistently sell out venues and to draw in a diverse crowd, from die-hard country traditionalists to casual listeners. The inclusion of rising stars and established favorites among the opening acts only adds to the tour’s broad appeal.
For those planning to attend, there are a few things to keep in mind. Given the high demand for tickets—especially for the Florida dates, some of which have already sold out—fans are advised to act quickly once sales open. The early access window for fan club members and Citi cardholders provides a valuable head start, but with Stapleton’s track record, seats are expected to go fast.
In the end, the 2026 All-American Road Show stands as a testament to Chris Stapleton’s enduring artistry and his unique ability to bring together fans, fellow musicians, and industry heavyweights for a true celebration of country music. Whether you’re catching him in a packed stadium or at a legendary festival, there’s little doubt that Stapleton’s live show will deliver the kind of unforgettable moments that have become his hallmark.
As the countdown to January 16 approaches, anticipation is building. For many, this tour isn’t just another concert—it’s a milestone event, marking a new chapter in the career of one of country music’s brightest stars. With a powerful lineup, iconic venues, and a slew of new and old favorites, Chris Stapleton’s 2026 All-American Road Show is set to be one for the record books.
