Luke Bryan Launches Massive 2026 Word On The Street Tour

Country music fans, get ready: Luke Bryan is hitting the road in 2026 with his much-anticipated "Word On The Street Tour," promising a whirlwind of high-energy performances, star-studded lineups, and a coast-to-coast celebration of country’s biggest hits. The announcement, which has been lighting up music news outlets and fan forums alike, confirms that Bryan will be performing across the United States and Canada, with blockbuster dates set for Missouri, Mississippi, Florida, Tennessee, New York, Iowa, Ontario, and more. The tour kicks off with back-to-back nights at the BankNH Pavilion in Gilford, New Hampshire, on Friday, May 29 and Saturday, May 30, 2026, marking the start of a summer that’s sure to be filled with dancing, singalongs, and, yes, plenty of margaritas.

According to RTT News, Bryan is one of only two country artists to crack Pollstar’s Top 20, having sold more than 20 million concert tickets throughout his career. That’s no small feat—and it’s a testament to the enduring popularity of the “Country Girl (Shake It For Me)” and “One Margarita” singer, who’s known for electrifying live shows and a knack for bringing together some of the brightest up-and-comers in country music.

This year’s supporting cast is no exception. As reported by multiple sources, including The Pulse of NH and MLive, Bryan will be joined on stage by Drew Baldridge, Karley Scott Collins, Lauren Watkins, Lanie Gardner, Randall King, Zach John King, Shane Profitt, RaeLynn, Jake Worthington, and DJ Rock. Each night, DJ Rock will set the tone with a high-octane opening set, warming up the crowd for an evening of non-stop hits. With such a formidable lineup, it’s no wonder demand for tickets is expected to be sky-high.

For those eager to secure their spot, there are several ways to get in on the action. The official ticket on-sale is scheduled for Friday, January 30, 2026, at 10 a.m. local time, as detailed on Bryan’s official website and echoed by RTT News. But superfans and dedicated followers have a leg up: pre-sales for Bryan’s fan clubs begin earlier in the week. The All-Access Pass Pre-Sale kicks off at 8 a.m. local time on Tuesday, January 26, exclusively for members who pay $40 per year. Shortly after, the Nut House Pre-Sale opens at 10 a.m. the same day for fan club members in the $25-per-year tier. Both pre-sales offer early access codes, giving fans the best shot at snagging coveted seats before the general public rush.

There’s even more incentive for Citi cardholders, who can access their own presale through the Citi Entertainment program, starting at 8 a.m. on January 27 and running through January 29 at 10 p.m. local time. As outlined by RTT News, this window offers yet another opportunity for fans to get ahead of the crowd. And for those feeling lucky, The Pulse of NH is offering listeners a chance to win a pair of tickets to the BankNH Pavilion shows by tuning in to Mike Pomp and the M.I.C. in the mornings—a classic radio giveaway that’s sure to stoke excitement among local fans.

So, where exactly will Bryan and his band of rising stars be heading? The tour schedule is packed, with highlights including June 11 at Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas; July 10 at Vibrant Arena in Moline, Illinois; July 11 at Pine Knob Music Theatre in Clarkston, Michigan; August 8 at White River Amphitheater in Auburn, Washington; August 14 at Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, California; and September 10 at MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre in Tampa, Florida. The grand finale is set for September 26 at Alpine Valley Music Theatre in East Troy, Wisconsin. According to MLive, the tour also features stops at major festivals like the Carolina Country Music Fest in Myrtle Beach and the Taste of Country Festival in Buffalo, New York.

For Bryan, these shows are more than just concerts—they’re a celebration of the community that country music creates. As The Pulse of NH puts it, fans can expect “nonstop hits, high-energy performances, and one of the best live shows in country music.” Anyone who’s seen Bryan live knows this isn’t just hype. His performances are renowned for their infectious energy, crowd interaction, and the sense that, for a few hours, the whole arena is one big family. And with a setlist that draws from a deep well of chart-toppers, every night promises to be a party from start to finish.

But the excitement isn’t limited to the music. The tour’s ticketing structure reflects the evolving landscape of live entertainment, where fan clubs and exclusive pre-sales are now standard fare. As outlined in the official announcements and reported by RTT News, Bryan’s All-Access Pass and Nut House memberships offer more than just early ticket access—they foster a sense of belonging among fans, rewarding loyalty with perks and exclusive content. It’s a model that’s becoming increasingly common among major touring acts, and Bryan’s team seems to have mastered the art of keeping fans engaged year-round.

For those who can’t make it to the ticket pre-sales or on-sales, hope isn’t lost. After the main sale, tickets will likely be available on secondary markets such as SeatGeek, Vivid Seats, and StubHub, as mentioned by MLive. While prices can fluctuate on these platforms, they offer one last chance for fans to catch the show if they missed out initially.

As the countdown to May 29 begins, there’s a palpable sense of anticipation in the air. For many, the “Word On The Street Tour” represents not just a chance to see one of country’s biggest stars, but a return to the communal joy of live music after years of uncertainty and change in the concert industry. With Bryan’s proven track record—over 20 million tickets sold, numerous chart-topping singles, and a reputation as one of the genre’s most dynamic performers—expectations are sky-high, and all signs suggest he’ll deliver.

In the end, whether you’re a die-hard fan or a newcomer to Bryan’s catalog, the 2026 tour looks set to be a highlight of the summer. With a stacked roster of special guests, a jam-packed schedule, and ticket options for every level of fandom, “Word On The Street” is shaping up to be an unmissable celebration of country music’s enduring appeal. So dust off your boots, mark your calendar, and get ready for a night of memories—Luke Bryan style.
