George Strait Announces Massive 2026 Stadium Show in Lubbock with All-Texas Lineup
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Fresh off the announcement of his highly anticipated return to Clemson, South Carolina, George Strait—the undisputed “King of Country Music”—has unveiled another monumental addition to his 2026 schedule. Strait is set to perform for one night only at Lubbock, Texas’ Jones AT&T Stadium on Saturday, April 25, 2026.
In a true celebration of the Lone Star State, the concert will feature a strictly Texan lineup. Joining the legend on stage will be three-time GRAMMY winner Miranda Lambert and the breakout sensation Hudson Westbrook. The event will utilize a unique “in-the-round” stage design, placed at the center of the stadium to ensure an intimate yet grand experience for every fan in attendance.
A Legacy of Record-Breaking Performances
While Strait has moved toward playing fewer shows annually, each appearance has become a historic event. In 2024, he set a record for the largest single-ticketed concert in U.S. history at Texas A&M’s Kyle Field, performing for a staggering 110,905 fans. His 2025 limited run saw him dominate major venues like SoFi Stadium and Gillette Stadium. Critics have consistently praised his enduring vocal prowess, with The Boston Globe noting that Strait “skipped the pyrotechnics and let his voice do the heavy lifting.”
Honors and New Music
The Lubbock announcement comes at a pinnacle moment in Strait’s storied career. This December, he will be celebrated at the 47th Annual Kennedy Center Honors for his lifetime contributions to American culture. Furthermore, in early 2026, he will be inducted into the Texas Songwriters Hall of Fame, a testament to his impact as both a performer and a storyteller.
Fans can expect a setlist featuring timeless classics alongside tracks from his 31st studio album, Cowboys and Dreamers. Released to critical acclaim, the album includes favorites like “Three Drinks Behind” and “Honky Tonk Hall Of Fame,” a collaboration with Chris Stapleton.
Tickets and Philanthropy
Tickets for the Lubbock stadium show go on sale via GeorgeStrait.com at 10 a.m. CT on Friday, November 21, 2025.
Beyond his musical achievements, Strait continues his mission of giving back. Through his various foundations and benefit concerts, he has raised tens of millions of dollars for veterans, children’s organizations, and disaster relief. His commitment to wounded heroes remains a cornerstone of his legacy, having recently presented his 127th home to a veteran during his Los Angeles stop.
With more than 60 major entertainment awards and 100 million RIAA certifications, George Strait remains the gold standard of country music.
