These are the 12 biggest country tours in 2023. We found tickets.

It doesn’t matter where you live in the U.S. — in 2023, the heartland will come to you.

From January through December, some of the biggest names in country music are heading to venues all over North America to sling their greatest hits for their biggest fans.

We’re talking Garth, Kenny, Reba, Carrie, Morgan — you know, all the stars you know by just their first name.

Plus, of course, George Strait.

You can’t forget George freakin’ Strait.

So, get out your cowboy hat and boots, and we’ll give you want the skinny on each of these upcoming tours.


George Strait’s “Stadium Tour”

Runs May 6 through Aug. 5

Strait doesn’t have a lot of concerts on his Stadium Tour. In fact, he’s only playing eight shows this coming summer. But they’ll all be biggies. Mega stars Chris Stapleton and Little Big Town will be joining him at each of these mega gigs. Expect a night of sing-a-long hits and good vibes.


Reba McEntire’s “Reba: Live In Concert Tour”

Runs March 9 through April 15

Although you may have recently seen Reba in the third season of ABC’s “Big Sky,” she’ll be taking a break from acting for a 14-concert spring arena tour where she’ll likely bust out all your favorite Reba classics. Terri Clark and The Isaacs are slated to open for the three-time Grammy winner.


Morgan Wallen’s “One Night at a Time Tour”

Runs April 15 through Oct. 7

Wallen’s upcoming 37-concert tour is one of the year’s most hotly anticipated. Featuring openers Parker McCollum, Hardy, Ernest, and Bailey Zimmerman, Wallen took to Instagram to share his excitement, saying, “2023 is gonna be a special year… I got a lot in store for y’all.” Wanna find out what that means? We suggest seeing him live.


Kenny Chesney’s “I Go Back Tour”

Runs March 25 through May 27

After a major 2022 stadium tour, Chesney is heading to venues off the beaten path for his 20-concert “I Go Back Tour.” Rather than play only major cities, he and opener Kelsea Ballerini will play smaller markets Chesney typically doesn’t hit on his typical tours. Does that mean he’ll visit your town? We suggest checking below.


Garth Brooks’ “Plus One Las Vegas Residency”

Runs May 18 through Dec. 16

There’s only one place you can catch Garth this year: Las Vegas’ Caesars Palace. Brooks has teased that he and his band — plus, maybe his wife Trish Yearwood, too — will buck tradition and play an unpredictable setlist, including new songs. Although the run of shows sold out almost immediately, you better believe we found tickets.


Carrie Underwood’s “Denim and Rhinestones Tour”

Runs Feb. 2 through March 17

In 2022, Underwood dropped her “Denim and Rhinestones” album, hit 18 venues on her tour’s first leg, and performed at the AMAs in an aerial cage. Next year, she won’t slow down. She and opening act Jimmie Allen have 25 concerts left on their tour. If you want to see if she’s coming to you, click below.


Blake Shelton’s “Back To The Honky Tonk Tour”

Runs Feb. 16 through March 25

Gwen Stefani’s hubby is doing his own thing on tour in early spring. His 18-concert “Back To The Honky Tonk Tour” featuring opening acts Carly Pearce and Jackson Dean will be his first since 2021’s “Friends and Heroes” run of shows. No guarantees, but we’d bet good money he’ll play tracks from his most recent album, “Body Language.”


Kane Brown’s “Drunk or Dreaming Tour”

Runs March 16 through Aug. 3

Following his massively successful “Blessed And Free” 2021-22 tour, Brown is already back on the road for more. He’ll perform 34 concerts all over North America during the spring and summer this time. Opening acts Dustin Lynch and LOCASH are coming along with him for the ride this time too.


Luke Combs’ “World Tour”

Runs March 25 through July 29

Big things are in store for Combs in 2023. His four-month mega tour will take him to stadiums all over North America with a variety of special guests like Riley Green and Lainey Wilson. Expect to hear his melancholy, new single “Going, Going, Gone” at shows too. He just took to Instagram to call the track one of his “personal favorites.”


Shania Twain’s “Queen of Me Tour”

Runs April 28 through July 24

Twain promises each of her 44 upcoming shows will be big parties with no “inhibitions, no conditions.” If hearing classic tracks “Man! I Feel Like A Woman,” “You’re Still The One,” and “That Don’t Impress Me Much” live sounds like your jam, you’re in the right place. BRELAND, Hailey Whitters and others will serve as her opening act on select dates.


Thomas Rhett’s “Home Team Tour”

Runs Feb. 9 through Sept. 29

We don’t know when Thomas Rhett finds time to sleep. After headlining the massive 2022 “Bring the Bar To You” tour, he’s already returning to the grind for 50 concerts next year. This time around, he’s bringing opening acts Cole Swindell and Nate Smith along with the, ahem, bar to you and your, ahem, home team.


The Judds’ “Final Tour”

Runs Jan. 26 through Feb. 25

Following the untimely passing of Naomi, Wynonna kept The Judds going and trotted out the hits for fans at live shows in 2022. Next year, she’ll do it all over again after having extended her run of shows. Martina McBryde, Brandi Carlile, Kelsea Ballerini, Little Big Town, and Martina McBride are just some of the big names joining her this time around.


Lady A’s “Request Line Tour”

Runs April 14 through Oct. 28

The Request Line tour is unlike any other we have listed here. At each show, the trio is taking requests and has promised on Instagram that “no two shows will be the same on the (tour).” We have our fingers crossed that they play their jumpy, new single “Summer State of Mind,” but no promises — the fans will get to pick what’s played.
