Cody Johnson Setlist 2026 — Songs, Order & Running Time

Cody Johnson setlist — songs, song order and run time

A current Cody Johnson setlist runs twenty-three to twenty-six songs across a deliberate 110 to 125 minutes with no intermission and no backing tracks, and the run order is built around four guaranteed singalongs that every Leather Tour night routes through. "'Til You Can't" — the lead single off the October 2021 Human: The Double Album that ran to No. 1 on the Billboard country airplay chart, won the 2022 CMA Song of the Year and Single of the Year and picked up the 2023 Grammy nomination for Best Country Song — closes the night more often than any other song; the band stretches the last chorus to thirty seconds of arena singing back at Johnson loud enough to make the room shake. "The Painter" — the love song Johnson wrote for his wife Brandi Johnson and the next No. 1 single off the same album — lands roughly a third of the way through the night and gets the first full-arena phone-light singalong. "Human" — the title-track No. 1 single off the same album — anchors the back half of the main set with a four-on-the-floor production drop and is one of the louder moments of any night on the tour. "Dear Rodeo" — the rodeo-retirement duet with Reba McEntire that won the 2021 ACM Music Event of the Year and is by far the most emotionally charged moment of any current Leather Tour set — typically lands in the mid-set acoustic block with the full band stripped to acoustic guitar, fiddle and steel; on the Texas dates with a Houston, Dallas, Austin or San Antonio date the room sings the chorus loud enough to drown the band. "On My Way to You" — the lead single off the January 2019 Ain't Nothin' to It major-label debut that delivered Johnson's first national No. 1 — lands in the same mid-set hit run alongside "Husbands and Wives" (the Brooks & Dunn cover Johnson recorded as a duet with Reba McEntire) and the deeper Cowboy Like Me and Leather album material. The typical structure is a 90-minute main set on the A-stage with the full eight-piece road band — twin fiddles, full pedal steel, two electric guitars, Telecaster lead — a 15-to-20-minute acoustic mid-set with the band stripped to acoustic and steel where Johnson plays "Dear Rodeo" and the dance-hall throwback "With You I Am" stripped back, then a return to the full band for the back-half hit run that lands "Human", "The Painter" and the encore closer "'Til You Can't". "Long Haired Country Boy" — the Charlie Daniels cover Johnson has played at every show since the prison-guard days — typically gets the back-half cover-set slot. Encore is typically a single track, sometimes two if the curfew allows.

Does the Cody Johnson Setlist Change Night to Night?

The core of the Cody Johnson 2026 setlist — the singles and the staging — stays consistent across the tour so production cues work from night to night. Smaller changes (a deep cut swap, a city-specific cover, or an acoustic surprise) happen on some nights.
