Chris Stapleton Nashville Tour Kicks Off May 23 at Nissan Stadium

Chris Stapleton Nashville starts with a stadium date on Saturday, May 23rd, when he opens his 2026 All-American Road Show at Nissan Stadium. Lainey Wilson and Allen Stone will join him in the first show of a tour that runs through October 10th and moves across the United States and Canada.

Nissan Stadium on May 23rd

That opening night is the cleanest marker in the schedule. A Nashville stadium launch gives the tour an immediate scale shift, and it places the first stop in Stapleton’s own market before the run spreads into summer and fall dates.

Stapleton’s 2023 album Higher remains his last full-length release, so the road show becomes the main public measure of his current cycle. In February, he added a Grammy for Best Country Solo Performance for “Bad As I Used To Be,” which gives the tour an awards-season lift heading into a long live schedule.

Wilson, Stone, and rotating support

Lainey Wilson and Allen Stone are set for the Nashville date, while Molly Tuttle, Grace Potter, Zach Top, and The Teskey Brothers rotate through the wider run. That mix suggests the tour is being built as a multi-market package, not a one-city launch followed by a fixed support bill.

Two-night stands in North Charleston, Chula Vista, George, Shakopee, Boston, and Kansas City point to the demand the run is trying to capture. The itinerary also includes Jacksonville, Tampa, Charlotte, Portland, Vancouver, Cincinnati, Toronto, Detroit, Atlanta, and Philadelphia, so the route reaches both stadium and arena-size markets before dropping into amphitheaters.

Kansas City on October 10th

The tour closes in Kansas City on October 10th, leaving Nashville as the opening bookend and Kansas City as the final one. For ticket holders, the practical read is simple: the first major date arrives in May, and the schedule stretches deep enough into fall that the early sale window will matter more than the last show date.
