Say it ain’t so, George!
San Antonio area-native George Strait has added two more Texas concerts to his 2026 itinerary. And, sorry, Alamo City fans, they’re both in Austin.
The multi-platinum-selling country music legend will perform Thursday, April 9, and Saturday, April 11, at the state capital’s Moody Center with William Beckmann opening. Those shows are in addition to dates on Friday, April 24, and Saturday, April 25, the recent Kennedy Center honoree has booked at Lubbock’s Jones AT&T Stadium with Miranda Lambert opening.
The upcoming dates will be Strait’s first full-scale Texas concerts since his 2024 performance at College Station’s Kyle Field, which drew 110,905 fans and set a new record for the biggest ticketed show in U.S. history. His only other Lone Star State gig during that time a high-dollar benefit gala last summer for Texas Hill Country flood relief.
Artist presale tickets for the two Austin dates become available at 10 a.m. Monday, Jan. 26, for those who sign up via the event website. Venue presale begins at noon Monday at noon via Ticketmaster for those who enter the code “TAKEMETOTEXAS.”
Strait, who grew up in the San Antonio bedroom community of Pearsall, became one of country music’s biggest hitmakers with a string of now-classic tunes including “Amarillo by Morning” and “All My Ex’s Live in Texas.” He holds the RIAA record for most certified albums by any artist — 33 of his releases went platinum or gold — and he’s been nominated for 16 Grammy Awards. His sole win, for Best Country Album, was for 2009’s Troubadour.
