Billy Strings has been busy. And now, the reigning flatpicking force is riding that momentum straight into fall 2026 with a fresh run of U.S. dates.

This new stretch lands right on the heels of his already-loaded spring and summer itinerary, which fires up April 2nd in Florida and keeps rolling through the dog days of August. The tour will pick back up in Denver for a three-night stand, September 18th through 20th.

From there, Strings zigzags across the map: Los Angeles, San Diego, Oakland, Eugene, Everett. Then he doubles back through Huntsville, Baltimore, New Orleans, and Sugar Land before bringing things to a close in Fort Worth on December 11th. There’s one more night penciled in on the poster for December 12th, with details still under wraps, for now.

If you’ve tried to get into one of his shows lately, you already know the drill: move fast or get left in the dust. Pre-sale kicks off April 1st at 10am local time through his website, with general on-sale following April 3rd via Ticketmaster. A small wrinkle for the diehards: those more intimate theater shows in Denver, Los Angeles, and New Orleans aren’t standalone affairs. You’ll need a ticket to the corresponding arena date in each city to even get in the door, a move that feels equal parts practical and a little mischievous.

All of this comes in the long wake of Highway Prayers, his 2024 release that continues to reveal new corners the deeper you sit with it. Since then, Strings has stayed in near-constant motion: coast-to-coast touring, a warmly received Tiny Desk set (soon to be pressed to vinyl for Record Store Day 2026), and onstage moments alongside the likes of Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson.

Offstage, life’s been just as full. He’s stepped into fatherhood for the first time, while also navigating the passing of his mother, Debra.
