Billy Strings returns to Dickies Arena on Friday, December 11, 2026.

3x Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter and musician Billy Strings will extend his headline tour through the fall, including newly confirmed stops at Denver’s Ball Arena (two nights), Inglewood’s Kia Forum, San Diego’s Pechanga Arena and New Orleans’ Smoothie King Center, among many others. See below for complete tour itinerary.

Tickets will go on-sale this Friday, April 3 at 10:00am local time. Strings will perform special theater shows in select cities; to be eligible for a chance to buy tickets for the Paramount Theatre (Denver), Orpheum Theatre (Los Angeles) and Saenger Theatre (New Orleans) shows, fans must purchase a ticket for one of that city’s corresponding arena dates. Eligibility for the ticket request period ends on Monday, April 6 at 11:59pm local time. Full details can be found at www.billystrings.com/tour.

Ahead of his fall run, Strings will continue his extensive headline tour through the spring with stops at Boston’s Agganis Arena (two nights), Charlottesville’s John Paul Jones Arena (two nights), Portland’s Cross Insurance Arena (two nights) and more. Additionally, Strings’ first annual “Iona Freak Fair” will take place this summer, featuring performances from Strings, Sierra Hull, Greensky Bluegrass and more.

The tour adds to another landmark year for Strings, whose most recent full-length album, Highway Prayers, won Best Bluegrass Album at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards earlier this year—his second consecutive win in the category. Produced by Strings and Jon Brion (Fiona Apple, Mac Miller, Aimee Mann) and released via Reprise Records, the album debuted at #1 on Billboard’s all-genre Top Album Sales Chart—the first bluegrass album in 22 years to do so—and continues to receive widespread acclaim, with GQ calling Strings “the hottest roots-music phenomenon in decades” and Pitchfork praising, “the bluegrass wunderkind expands his palette, exploring new textures and emotional registers while staying true to his beloved genre.” Listen to Highway Prayers HERE.

Following Highway Prayers, Strings released an exclusive Apple Music Nashville Sessions EP featuring reworked songs from the record as well as a surprise collaborative album, Live at the Legion, with Bryan Sutton (stream/purchase here). Recorded live on April 7, 2024 at Nashville’s American Legion Post 82, the album showcases the acclaimed duo performing 20 traditional bluegrass and folk songs, including new renditions of Bob Dylan’s “Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright,” Doc Watson’s “Way Downtown” and more. In support of the new music, Strings performed on NPR’s Tiny Desk and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, was featured on NPR’s Fresh Air and appeared on The Howard Stern Show, where he performed “Escanaba” and spoke with the host.

Since his 2017 debut, Strings has been awarded Best Bluegrass Album at the 68th, 67th and 63rd Grammy Awards, Artist of the Year at the 2023 and 2022 Americana Music Awards, Entertainer of the Year at the 2025, 2023, 2022 and 2021 International Bluegrass Music Awards, Best New Headliner at the 2022 Pollstar Awards and Breakthrough Artist of the Pandemic at the 2021 Pollstar Awards among several other accolades. He has also performed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, PBS’ Austin City Limits and Bluegrass Underground as well as countless sold-out shows worldwide.
