Road warrior and alt-bluegrass virtuoso Billy Strings is extending his already busy 2026 touring schedule into the summer. Announced today (Jan. 27), the string of 11 new shows will take the genre-melding talent to seven U.S. cities this July and August.
The leg of shows begins on July 14 with a stop in Roanoke, Va., ahead of shows in Boston, Hartford, Conn., and back-to-back nights in Portsmouth, Va., Portland, Maine, Bethel, N.Y., along with two very special shows in his hometown of Ionia, Mich. The multi-talented 33-year-old’s summer tour dates follow a previously announced, now mostly sold-out spring tour that stretches from early February through the end of April.
Billy Strings had a landmark year in 2025, riding high from the release of his fourth studio album, Highway Prayers. That record, which he co-produced with Jon Brion, earned a nomination for Best Bluegrass Album at the 68th annual Grammy Awards, which will be presented live on CBS this Sunday, Feb. 1.
Tickets for all Billy Strings tour dates listed below, aside from his two noted performances in Ionia, Mich., will go on sale this Friday, Jan. 30, beginning at 10 a.m. local time. A limited pre-sale will begin tomorrow, Jan. 28, also at 10 a.m. local time. You can find more information about the shows and ticketing options by visiting Billy Strings’ official website.
