“BRAD PAISLEY LIVE” Tour Announces New Dates
Grammy-winning country music superstar Brad Paisley is releasing new music today as part of an ongoing project titled Tacklebox. A portion of this new music comes from his extensive catalog of unreleased and unrecorded songs, dating back to the 90s, when his career began. Other songs were recently written and inspired by that style and by the unmistakable 90s sound of Alan Jackson, Brooks and Dunn, and Alabama, as well as 80s-influenced productions similar to those of George Strait, Garth Brooks, and others. The first song from Tacklebox, “Fallin’,” is available now across all digital platforms HERE.
“I see this ‘project’ as never-ending. It’s almost like the fans have a direct link to my Dropbox or to a playlist that never ends,” said Brad. “We are calling it Tacklebox because it’s a box full of hooks, country lyric hooks. In this digital age, I have every song I’ve ever written at my fingertips. This project gave us a license to dig back into the catalog of songs that were never released, that feel like a time period, a style of writing, a sound, and nostalgia. We went back into the studio to record or re-record at The Castle in Franklin, TN, the same place where several of my first few albums were recorded. When I first started writing and recording music, I couldn’t have dreamed of the ability to put something out instantly for the fans.”
Additional music from Tacklebox will be released this week. Stay tuned to Brad’s digital and social media channels for up-to-date information: BradPaisley.com | Facebook | X | Instagram | Youtube.
Brad will perform a pivotal song from his catalog, “I’m Gonna Miss Her,” with Idol contestant Lucas Leon during tonight’s live American Idol finale. Brad wrote “I’m Gonna Miss Her” in 1995, during his senior year at Belmont University, for his senior showcase. It became his third #1 single in 2002, bringing his career total to 25 #1 songs. American Idol airs on ABC at 8:00 p.m., streams live on Disney+, and is available the next day on Hulu. Last week, Belmont University presented Honorary Doctorates to Brad and his wife, Kimberly Williams-Paisley, at the university’s graduation ceremony in recognition of their philanthropic work in Nashville.
Brad has just announced additional shows this year, the “BRAD PAISLEY LIVE” Tour, kicking off on August 27 in Bridgeport, Connecticut. The ticket presale for Brad’s fan club members, Paisley Nation, begins Tuesday, May 12, at 10 am local time. All tickets available at BradPaisley.com.

Luke Combs Announces 12 New Stadium Shows for 2027 ‘My Kinda Saturday Night Tour’
Luke Combs is extending his My Kinda Saturday Night Tour into 2027, announcing 12 new stadium shows across the United States.
The new dates continue the tour that Combs launched in 2026, though fans can expect a different lineup of opening acts. Treaty Oak Revival, Avery Anna, Shenandoah and Wyatt McCubbin will join Combs at various stops throughout the 2027 run.
The tour takes its name from “My Kinda Saturday Night,” a song from Combs’ latest album, The Way I Am. The singer recently wrapped the 2026 leg with three sold-out performances at London’s Wembley Stadium.
For now, the 12 newly announced stadium concerts are the only dates listed on Combs’ official tour calendar. Tickets for all 12 shows go on sale August 21.
The announcement had been teased throughout the week, with several venues revealing details before Combs officially announced the dates on Thursday morning.
The limited schedule reflects a shift in how Combs is approaching life on the road. With three young children — ages four, nearly three and six months — the singer has spoken about putting more time aside for his family. The days of spending most of the week away from home may be becoming less common for the country star.
That does not mean Combs is stepping away from the stage. Every 2027 date announced so far is scheduled at a football stadium with a capacity of at least 60,000 people.
The strategy is similar to one adopted by several major country artists in recent years, including Morgan Wallen: fewer shows in much larger venues. Rather than spending months on the road playing arenas and smaller venues, Combs can reach a large audience with a limited number of performances.
For fans, that makes each stop a bigger event. For Combs, it offers a way to keep touring while spending more time at home with his family.
Tickets go on sale August 21.
Tour Dates for Luke Combs 2027 ‘My Kinda Saturday Night Tour’:
April 3 — Arlington, Texas @ AT&T Stadium
April 10 — Minneapolis, Minn. @ U.S. Bank Stadium
April 17 — Detroit, Mich. @ Ford Field
