Willie Nelson 2026 Tour Announcement – Willie Nelson & Family Tour Schedule
Willie Nelson has announced a new set of “Willie Nelson & Family tour” dates, kicking off April 22 in Birmingham, AL, before making stops in Atlanta, Asheville, Cary, and Wilmington. The country legend will conclude on May 2 in New Braunfels, TX.
The 2026 Willie Nelson tour arrives alongside his upcoming album Dream Chaser, set for release May 29 and scheduled to be his 79th solo studio album (and 156th overall). If that sounds insane, it absolutely is…but it’s also completely on brand for the 92-year-old artist. He hasn’t slowed down since the 1950s, spending equal time both on the road and in the studio….
And 2026 is one of those rare years where we get both new music and another Willie Nelson tour. Is there anything better for a country music fan? Here’s the thing about his shows — he’s not Phish or Umphreys McGee, and his fans like it that way. Instead of leaning on improvisaitonal concerts and randomized setlist like today’s top jam bands, Willie Nelson serves up a formula for success, night after night.
These performances don’t come with reinvention or big pivots, but rather, continuity. The same road, the same band, the same worn-in guitar tone that’s been traveling with him for decades. These are all part of his appeal, and he moves at his own pace (he’s in his 90s, after all) to put on a show for fans from every generation. He has a massive catalog to choose from, and songs like “On the Road Again,” “Always on My Mind,” and “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain” are practically guaranteed to make you shed a tear or two.
He’s an American icon with more than 60 million albums sold, spots in nearly every music hall of fame you can imagine, and more famous friends than we can count. This includes Bob Dylan, who recently co-wrote a song with Nelson for his latest record. This marks the first time they’ve done so since 1993’s “Across the Borderline!” Get a taste of old meets new at his upcoming shows, because verified resale tickets for the 2026 Willie Nelson & Family tour are available now.
