While the summer music festivals may have packed up their stages and returned the porta-potties, fall is just around the corner, which can only mean one thing: Pumpkin spice lattes cool country music tours!
This is not a comprehensive list of the best country tours of fall 2026, but it’s a good starting place. Consider these the must-see shows if you can only pick a handful.
Fall 2026 Country Music Tours You Need to Attend:
Ella Langley’s Dandelion Tour

Why It’s Worth Seeing: This woman is the best thing since sliced bread right now. She’s country music’s it girl, and her Dandelion album is so dang good. You’d be silly to turn down a ticket if you’re able to get one — and that’s a big if.
Who’s Opening: Ernest, Kameron Marlowe, Laci Kay Booth and Gabriella Rose in different pairings (two per show)
When Is It? Langley’s early-announced tour dates were so popular, she had to book a second leg. Now she’ll be zig-zagging across the United States through Halloween. Find dates right here.
Zach Top’s Cold Beer & Country Music Tour

Why It’s Worth It: If you’re a fan of “real” country music, i.e. traditional, this is the tour to see.
Who’s Opening: Marcus King Band, Lukas Nelson, Marty Stuart, Wyatt McCubbin
When Is It? Top will hang up his hat on Oct. 30, but you have a whopping list of dates to choose from before then.
Kacey Musgraves’ Middle of Nowhere Tour

Why It’s Worth Seeing: Musgraves is one of those artists you shouldn’t skip when she’s in town. She’s a Grammy winner and one of the most unique lyricists of her time. Seeing her is truly an ethereal experience.
Who’s Opening: Midland, Flatland Cavalry, Charles Wesley Godwin, William Beckmann, Carter Faith, Gabriella Rose, Estevie and The Brudi Brothers will take turns opening shows.
When Is It? The Middle of Nowhere Tour started Aug. 21 and runs through the end of October in the U.S., picking back up in 2027 for shows in Australia, Scotland, and England. Find dates here.
Thomas Rhett’s Soundtrack to Life Tour

Why It’s Worth Seeing: Rhett puts on a fun show, and he has a lot of songs that you definitely know the lyrics to, but may have forgotten about.
Who’s Opening: Conner Smith, Ernest, Kashus Culpepper, Vincent Mason, Zach John King, Emily Ann Roberts — you’ll get some combination of two of these acts.
When Is It? The “Crash and Burn” hitmaker kicked this tour off in the heat of summer, but he’ll keep going until Oct. 24, when he puts on a finale performance in Omaha, Neb.
Koe Wetzel’s The Night Champion World Tour

Why It’s Worth Seeing: Wetzel is a rowdy artist who puts on a fun show. He’s a great pick for a Friday night if you’re hoping to get a little wild.
Who’s Opening: Bayker Blakenship, Ole 60, Logan Jahnke, Shane Smith & The Saints, Wyatt Flores, Wade Bowen, Corey Kent, Kolby Cooper
When Is It? Wetzel has been on this tour for quite a while already (since May), but he’s not tired yet. Dates run through Oct. 30, with stops in cities like Knoxville, Tenn., Richmond, Va., Little Rock, Ark., Chicago and many, many more. Find dates here.
