Due to overwhelming demand, country music icon George Strait has added a second in-the-round stadium show in Lubbock, Texas at Jones AT&T Stadium on Friday, April 24, 2026, in addition to his previously announced performance on Saturday, April 25, 2026.
The newly added Friday night show will feature special guests GRAMMY and CMA Award nominee Zach Top and multi-platinum singer, songwriter and producer Dylan Gossett, while Saturday’s previously announced show will feature fellow Texas natives, 3-time GRAMMY winner Miranda Lambert and newcomer Hudson Westbrook.
Fans can expect an unforgettable pair of evenings celebrating Strait’s unmatched catalog of hits alongside new favorites from Cowboys and Dreamers including “Honky Tonk Hall of Fame,” featuring Chris Stapleton. In fact the pair just scored a nomination for Best Country Duo/Group Performance for the track at next year’s 2026 GRAMMY Awards bringing Strait’s total career-nominations to 17. Tickets for both nights go on sale via georgestrait.com at 10 a.m. CT on Friday, November 21, 2025.
With fewer shows each year, Strait’s limited live performances continue to be some of the most sought-after tickets in music. His 2024 concert at Texas A&M’s Kyle Field drew 110,905 fans, marking one of the largest single-ticketed concerts in U.S. history. In 2025, he performed only five shows nationwide — in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Foxborough and Inglewood’s SoFi Stadium — each to sold-out crowds.
Of his SoFi Stadium performance, Variety noted, “fans would maintain that the privilege of still having him kicking around is all theirs,” adding that Strait “picks great songs, sings even better and exudes a quiet, uncocky confidence that would make anyone feel patriotic about country as a genre.”
The Boston Globe said of his Foxborough stop, “Strait skipped the pyrotechnics and let his voice do the heavy lifting,” while Pollstar has praised him as “the most worthy inheritor of Merle Haggard or Willie Nelson’s mantle of country icon.”
In addition to his upcoming live performances in Clemson, South Carolina and Lubbock, Texas, Strait will be honored this December at the 47th Annual Kennedy Center Honors, recognizing his lifetime contributions to American culture through the performing arts. Early next year, he will also be inducted into the Texas Songwriters Hall of Fame, cementing his legacy as both a performer and songwriter whose influence continues to shape generations of country music.
It’s been 15 years since The New York Times praised Strait as “a country superstar in complete command of his gift,” and that statement remains as true as ever with the release of his 31st studio album, Cowboys And Dreamers. The collection — which Cowboys & Indians Magazine calls “a cornucopia of trad-country-arrangement beauty” — includes instant classics like “Three Drinks Behind,” “MIA Down in MIA,” “The Little Things,” GRAMMY-nominated “Honky Tonk Hall Of Fame” (featuring Stapleton) and his rendition of Waylon Jennings’ “Waymore’s Blues,” all of which have become fan favorites in his live set.

About George Strait:
George Strait is the unambiguous “King of Country Music,” with over 100 million RIAA certifications while earning more than 60 major entertainment industry awards as well as countless nominations and becoming the only act in history to have a Top 10 hit every year for over three decades. The Texas troubadour released his 31st career studio album Cowboys And Dreamers last year, following 2019’s best-selling Country album, Honky Tonk Time Machine, on MCA. The latter produced by Strait and Chuck Ainlay, the album quickly became Strait’s record-extending 27th No. 1 Billboard Country album. The Country Music Hall of Fame member earned his 100th entry on the Billboard Country Airplay chart with his single “The Weight of the Badge” from the project. Having already set an indoor ticketed attendance record in 2014 at AT&T Stadium on his Cowboy Rides Away Tour, in June 2024 with 104,793 fans in attendance, he bested his own attendance record with over 110,905 fans in attendance at his “King at Kyle Field” show in College Station. And Strait has proven himself as deft with a pen as he is commanding a stadium of thousands, co-writing some of his biggest hits such as fan favorites, “Here for a Good Time” and “Living for the Night,” as well as the powerful, heartfelt ballad “I Believe.” As generous as he is talented, Strait’s Vaqueros del Mar golf tournament and benefit concert has raised over $17 million for the Feherty’s Troops First Foundation and most recently his Strait To The Heart benefit raised over $7 million for those affected by the flooding in Texas. He and wife Norma also established the Jenifer Strait Foundation to preserve the memory of their daughter and have raised millions for children’s organizations. In addition, every time Strait takes the stage he is joined by Retired Lt. General Leroy Sisco to present a new home to a wounded hero, delivering his 127th home presentation this summer in Los Angeles via Military Warriors Support Foundation’s Homes 4 Wounded Heroes Program.

About Zach Top
“The future of country music” (Billboard), Zach Top is in the midst of a monumental year, most recently earning three nominations at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards—Best Traditional Country Album (Ain’t In It For My Health), Best Country Song (“I Never Lie”) and Best Country Solo Performance (“I Never Lie”)—as well five nominations at the upcoming CMA Awards: Album of the Year (Cold Beer & Country Music), Male Vocalist of the Year, Single of the Year (“I Never Lie”), Song of the Year (“I Never Lie”) and New Artist of the Year.
The nominations follow Top’s highly acclaimed sophomore album, Ain’t In It For My Health (Leo33), which was released this summer and garnered over 30 million global streams in its first week. Continuing to receive overwhelming acclaim, Rolling Stone declares, “Zach Top holds his own with the country greats…Top’s vocals soar with the confidence of a seasoned storyteller,” while the Los Angeles Times praises, “As crisp as country music gets” and Pitchfork proclaims, “good, clean country fun, full of clear-eyed comedic writing and tight arrangements.”
Additionally, earlier this year, Top earned his first #1 at country radio with “I Never Lie,” was named New Male Artist of the Year at the 2025 ACM Awards and featured in Variety’s 2025 Young Hollywood Impact Report. These accomplishments follow Top’s breakthrough 2024 debut album, Cold Beer & Country Music, which has earned over one billion streams to date and landed on several “Best of” lists including Rolling Stone, Billboard and The New York Times.
Known for his engaging live performances, Top recently extended his “Cold Beer & Country Music” tour through next year and has shared stages with notable artists such as Dwight Yoakam, Billy Strings, Alan Jackson, Dierks Bentley and Lainey Wilson. Raised in Sunnyside, WA, Top grew up on classic country music around the family farm. At the age of seven, he formed a bluegrass band with his siblings, which set the stage for his future musical ambitions.
About Dylan Gossett
Hailing from Austin, Texas, 26-year-old singer, songwriter, and producer Dylan Gossett has quickly become a rising face of Texas Country with his signature blend of Americana and Red Dirt influences and lyricism rooted in his southern upbringing. The multi-Platinum certified singer and songwriter initially took flight in 2023 with his breakthrough single “Coal,” which has now passed half-a-billion streams. “Coal” struck a chord with global audiences, cracking the BillboardHot 100 and UK Official Singles Chart and picking up multi-platinum certifications around the world, with tastemakers like The New York Times declaring “Coal” “One of the year’s best country songs.”
Gossett continued his rise with the No Better Time EP [2023] and Songs In The Gravel EP [2024], which he self-wrote, recorded, and produced. Keeping up this pace, he gained further traction with singles, such as the Gold-Certified “Beneath Oak Trees,” “To Be Free,” “If I Had A Lover,” “Tree Birds” and more. Over the last two years, he has tirelessly toured the globe while building a formidable fanbase. He notably sold north of 100,000 headline tickets over the past two years. Not to mention, he’s become a standout at festivals including Stagecoach Festival, SXSW, CMA Fest, Country 2 Country, Austin City Limits Festival and more, in addition to making his Grand Ole Opry debut and supporting superstars like Noah Kahan and Morgan Wallen for select dates.
It’s no wonder major players such as Spotify, Amazon, and The New York Times pegged him as an “Artist To Watch” in 2024, while MusicRow named him among its “Next Big Thing Class of 2025 Artists” and Rolling Stone hailed him as “One of country music’s most in-demand live draws.” This career-defining momentum set the stage for his 2025 full-length debut Westward, released on July 18th via Big Loud Texas/Mercury Records. Once again, Dylan self-produced and wrote the entire album, with three songs co-written with close friend and bandmate Colton Forrest Hardy. Led by singles “Like I Do,” “American Trail,” and “Sweet Lady,” the album thematically ponders the nature of love, family, faith, and what it means to pursue a lifelong dream. He turns his direction Westward now with this epic debut body of work and headline The Westward Tour this fall.
