Thirty years in, Trace Adkins isn’t slowing down. If anything, he’s leaning in.
The country mainstay just announced his 30th Anniversary Tour, kicking off January 16 and stretching across much of 2026. The first leg alone hits 24 cities, with dates spread from the South and Midwest to the Mountain West and Mid-Atlantic. It’s a proper road run, not a nostalgia lap.
The tour marks three decades since Dreamin’ Out Loud first arrived in 1996, the album that launched a career built on unmistakable vocals, big hooks, and songs that somehow manage to feel both larger-than-life and deeply familiar. Fans can expect a setlist that pulls generously from across the years. Think barn-burners, slower sing-alongs, and a few of those songs you didn’t realize you still know every word to until the chorus hits.
Some stops feel especially fitting for an anniversary year. Two nights at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium, a return to Billy Bob’s Texas, a Cheyenne Frontier Days appearance, and a mix of fairs, theaters, and classic country venues that match Adkins’ no-frills, road-tested style.
Between touring nonstop, releasing new music, and continuing to pop up on screens both big and small, Adkins has stayed busy even by veteran standards. But this tour feels less about checking boxes and more about celebrating the simple fact that he’s still out there doing it and people are still showing up.
Tickets are already moving, and if history is any indication, these shows won’t be quiet.
Thirty years deep, still standing tall, and still very much in motion.
