Multi-Platinum Rock Band O.A.R. Announces O.A.R. Three Decades Tour
Legendary rock band O.A.R. has announced the O.A.R Three Decades Tour, an expansive North American run celebrating the band’s remarkable three-decade journey. In celebration, O.A.R. has released a brand-new single, “Where We Are Right Now,” available today on all streaming platforms – listen HERE. O.A.R.’s newest track delivers their signature blend of heartfelt lyrics and uplifting energy, capturing the spirit of their journey as they launch their milestone anniversary tour.
“When we started playing songs together in a basement in Rockville, Maryland in 1996 we had big dreams of being a real deal touring band. We imagined playing our songs throughout the country, living life on the road, telling our stories to the world, “ said frontman Marc Roberge “The fact we’ve gotten to live that life for the last 30 years is a testament to the power of our audience. This tour is our way of saying thank you – to every fan who made our dreams come true. We can’t wait to see each and every one of you out there on the Three Decades Tour.”
Featuring all of the band’s career defining hits and a dynamic lineup of special guests including Gavin DeGraw, Phantom Planet, Lisa Loeb and KT Tunstall, the milestone tour will bring O.A.R.’s renowned live show to amphitheaters, arenas, and landmark venues across the U.S., kicking off June 19 in Vail, CO at Gerald R. Ford Amphitheater. Watch the band’s tour announcement video HERE.
Tickets for the Live Nation produced tour will be available through the O.A.R. artist presale beginning Tuesday, November 4 at 10 a.m. local time, with general onsale starting Friday, November 7 at 10 a.m. local time. For more information, please visit LiveOAR.com/Tour.
Formed in Rockville, Maryland, in 1996, O.A.R. includes Marc Roberge (lead vocals, guitar), Richard On (lead guitar, backing vocals), Chris Culos (drums), and Jerry DePizzo (saxophone, guitar, backing vocals). The band has grown from high school friends jamming in basements to one of the most enduring live acts in modern rock. Over the last thirty years, O.A.R. has sold out Madison Square Garden twice, headlined Red Rocks Amphitheatre more than a dozen times, earned multiple Platinum and Gold certifications, and built one of the most passionate fan communities in music. This tour will see them perform across the nation’s most celebrated venues including The Greek Theatre, Red Rocks and Jones Beach.
Last month, O.A.R. celebrated the 20th anniversary of their breakthrough album Stories of a Stranger with a deluxe reissue, revisiting the era that produced hit singles like “Love and Memories,” “Lay Down,” and “Heard the World.” The release set the tone for an anniversary year that will include new music, collaborations, and archival content chronicling the band’s 30-year evolution. Stories Of A Stranger (20th Anniversary Edition) is coming Friday, December 5 with 4 new bonus tracks – pre-order HERE.

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
April 24 — Philadelphia, Pa. @ Lincoln Financial Field
May 1 — Foxborough, Mass. @ Gillette Stadium
May 8 — Pittsburgh, Pa. @ Acrisure Stadium
May 15 — Kansas City, Mo. @ Arrowhead Stadium
May 29 — Edmonton, Alb. Canada @ Commonwealth Stadium
June 5 — Vancouver, B.C. Canada @ BC Place
June 12 — Boise, Idaho @ Albertsons Stadium
June 19 — Denver, Colo. @ Empower Field at Mile High
