Thomas Rhett Tour 2026

Inside Thomas Rhett

Thomas Rhett is the mainstream country singer, songwriter and arena headliner — born Thomas Rhett Akins Jr. in Valdosta, Georgia and raised in Hendersonville, Tennessee — who has spent the past decade-plus quietly accumulating one of the deepest hit catalogues in modern country radio while keeping the family-man songwriter brand at the center of every press cycle, every record cover and every interview. The son of country songwriter Rhett Akins (whose own 1990s singles like "That Ain't My Truck" and "Don't Get Me Started" sit just outside the era he and his peers spent listening to on the bus), Thomas Rhett came up inside Nashville's Music Row co-writing economy and made his Big Machine Label Group debut in 2013 with It Goes Like This, a record that produced the No. 1 country hits "It Goes Like This", "Get Me Some of That" and "Make Me Wanna".

The follow-ups arrived in steady succession: Tangled Up in 2015, the breakthrough Life Changes in 2017 (which produced "Marry Me" and "Craving You" and Album of the Year nods across the major country awards), Center Point Road in 2019, the dual Country Again: Side A and Side B records in 2021, Where We Started in 2022 with the Katy Perry duet, and About a Woman in 2024 — a project whose title and song cycle are explicitly a tribute to his wife Lauren Akins, the high school sweetheart turned songwriter-muse who has been the emotional center of his songwriting since the very first record. Multi-platinum mainstream country, six No. 1s on the Billboard country airplay chart in a single year at the peak, ACM Album of the Year wins, CMA Awards, Grammy nominations, and a touring footprint that has scaled from theater-and-club support slots to full-arena headline tours across North America.

The brand sells two things in equal measure: the catalogue of pop-leaning country radio singles and the family-man songwriter narrative — a marriage, four daughters and a settled Nashville-suburb life that has anchored two memoirs, multiple ACM Award speeches and a substantial chunk of the lyrical material. This page is the landing spot for current tour dates, ticket information, setlists and city-specific show information, kept evergreen so it tracks each touring leg as the routing rolls out.

About Thomas Rhett

Thomas Rhett Akins Jr. was born March 30, 1990 in Valdosta, Georgia and raised in Hendersonville, Tennessee — the lake-town suburb on the north side of Nashville that has been the gravitational center of his life ever since his father moved the family there in the early 1990s to chase a Music Row recording career. Rhett Akins Sr. signed with Decca Nashville and put a handful of singles on the country chart through the mid-and-late nineties, then pivoted to songwriting full-time in the early 2000s as part of the Peach Pickers writing trio with Dallas Davidson and Ben Hayslip — a group that has co-written some of the biggest country radio singles of the past two decades.

Thomas Rhett grew up watching the songwriter-economy version of Nashville from the inside, on tour buses with his father in the summers and inside the writing rooms on Music Row in the off-seasons. He played drums in college bands and only gradually moved toward the front of the stage and the singer-songwriter side of the family business.

The Big Machine Label Group / Valory Music Co. signing came in 2011. Thomas Rhett's first major-label single "Something to Do With My Hands" landed in late 2012; the debut album It Goes Like This arrived in October 2013 and produced the No. 1 country hits "It Goes Like This", "Get Me Some of That" and "Make Me Wanna" — a quick three-for-three pattern that set the commercial template for the rest of the decade.

Tangled Up followed in September 2015, leaned harder into the pop-and-funk-country crossover with singles like "Crash and Burn" and the Jordin Sparks duet "Die a Happy Man" — the latter becoming his career-defining wedding-song single and one of the longest-running No. 1s on the country airplay chart of the 2010s. Life Changes arrived in September 2017 and is the breakthrough record: "Craving You" (with Maren Morris), "Unforgettable", the title track and the wedding-anthem-of-the-decade "Marry Me" all hit No. 1 in succession, and the album took ACM Album of the Year.

Center Point Road in 2019 extended the run. The dual project Country Again: Side A in 2021 and Side B (released in segments through 2022 as Where We Started) marked a deliberate return to harder country textures and a pulling-back from the funk-and-pop crossover that had defined the Tangled Up and Life Changes era.

Where We Started arrived in April 2022 with the title track Katy Perry duet anchoring the radio cycle. About a Woman arrived in August 2024 as a song cycle and tribute project built around his wife Lauren Akins, who has co-written several of the records and whose presence runs through the lyric content of nearly every Thomas Rhett project.

The family-man brand has been a deliberate and durable narrative across the entire decade: four daughters (Willa Gray, Ada James, Lennon Love and Lillie Carolina), a marriage that started as a high school friendship in Hendersonville, two memoirs co-authored with Lauren (Be a Heart and Where We Started), and a recurring set of songwriter cuts that treat marriage, fatherhood, faith and the suburban-Nashville domestic life as serious material rather than throwaway color. The touring routing has scaled with the catalogue — theater and amphitheater dates in the early years, full headline arena tours from the Life Changes cycle forward — and the audience has remained broad, multi-generational and demographically wider than the deep-country end of the format.

Thomas Rhett tour dates

Current Thomas Rhett touring runs as full headline arena and amphitheater legs across North America with festival headline slots layered into the summer routing each year. Recent touring brands have included the Center Point Road Tour, the Bring the Bar to You Tour and the Home Team Tour series, with the routing rolling through the standard major-market arena and amphitheater circuit: Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Madison Square Garden in New York on the largest legs, Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, American Airlines Center in Dallas, United Center in Chicago, the Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre and Ameris Bank Amphitheatre summer-shed circuit, and the major Canadian arenas in Toronto and Edmonton.

Sets typically run a full 90 to 105 minutes with a six-to-eight-piece road band that includes the horn-section and gospel-vocal coloration that has been part of the Thomas Rhett sound since the Tangled Up cycle. The show pulls across the entire catalogue — the early It Goes Like This and Tangled Up era hits in the front half, the Life Changes and Center Point Road radio singles through the middle, the Country Again material and About a Woman cycle in the back half, with a deliberate songwriter acoustic passage anchored by "Die a Happy Man" or "Marry Me" tucked into the emotional center of the set.

Stage production runs polished and choreographed — full LED video walls on the most recent arena legs, a runway or thrust stage on select dates, deliberate lighting design that warms during the ballads and explodes into pop-country white during the dance singles — without ever losing the songwriter-and-band core. Door times typically run 6:00 to 6:30 p.m. for arena dates with the opener around 7:30 and Thomas Rhett on stage around 9:00.

Support acts have rotated across legs and have included a deliberate mix of mainstream country and country-pop crossover artists. Future tour announcements roll out through the official Thomas Rhett site, Big Machine Label Group / Valory channels and Ticketmaster.

Thomas Rhett tickets

Thomas Rhett tickets are sold through Ticketmaster as the primary outlet, with secondary inventory available on StubHub, SeatGeek, Vivid Seats and Ticketmaster's own verified resale platform linked from each event card above. Arena pricing on a current headline tour typically opens with upper-bowl reserved seats in the lower double-digit to low triple-digit range, lower-bowl reserved seats in a higher range, and floor and front-of-stage VIP packages climbing further depending on demand and city.

Amphitheater dates tend to offer a lawn tier at a lower entry price and reserved pavilion seats at a mid-range, with premium pit pricing for the front rows. Specific prices vary substantially by city, day of week, venue and time of release, so the event cards above reflect current Ticketmaster face value at the moment you load the page rather than a fixed published number.

Fan club presales through the official Thomas Rhett site typically open the Tuesday before the Friday public on-sale and remain the best path to good seats on high-demand markets like Nashville, Madison Square Garden and the Dallas-Fort Worth swing. Citi cardmember and venue presales fill the rest of the week.

Ticketmaster Verified Fan registration has been used on select on-sales to keep bot inventory off the early window; sign up through the official site as soon as a date is announced to keep registration windows open. Dynamic pricing applies on most Thomas Rhett on-sales, so face value can move during the queue — refresh the secondary market the week of the show on non-major-market amphitheater dates and you'll often catch a meaningful drop on lawn and reserved pairs.

Always buy from a marketplace with a buyer guarantee and avoid private resale via social media or classifieds.

Thomas Rhett setlist

A current Thomas Rhett setlist runs about twenty to twenty-four songs across 90 to 105 minutes and is built as a rolling tour of the entire decade-plus catalogue rather than a focused promotion of a single recent record. The night usually opens with a high-energy pop-country dance single — "Look What God Gave Her", "Crash and Burn" or "Get Me Some of That" — to set the room energy, then settles into a singles run that pulls in "Craving You", "Unforgettable" and "Vacation".

The songwriter-acoustic passage in the middle of the set is the emotional pivot: Thomas Rhett moves to a stool stage-front with a single guitar, walks through the marriage-and-family arc that anchors his catalogue, and plays "Die a Happy Man" and "Marry Me" in a stripped-back arrangement that the audience sings nearly word-for-word. The back half pulls heavily from the Country Again, Where We Started and About a Woman cycles, brings the full band back in for the radio-anthem closing run, and typically lands the encore on "Life Changes" or "T-Shirt" as the singalong nightcap.

Cover material is occasional rather than constant — recent legs have folded in a Garth Brooks or George Strait quote during the storyteller passage as a nod to the country-radio lineage he grew up listening to. The exact running order varies leg to leg and night to night; check setlist.fm after the first night of any new touring leg for the current order.
