The Hilliard Center is welcoming another big-name guest to the Coastal Bend later this year. Monday morning, it was announced that country singer Brad Paisley will be making an appearance with special guest Jake Worthington. The show is set for Friday, October 9, 2026, at the Hilliard Center Arena.

Paisley broke onto the music scene in 1997 with the single “Another You” and followed that up with his debut album Who Needs Pictures in 1999. Since then, the singer/songwriter has amassed more than a dozen albums and over 50 singles on the Billboard charts. His well-known hits include “Mud on the Tires,” “Whiskey Lullaby,” and “She’s Everything.”

Paisley is a multi-award-winning superstar in country music. He has been nominated for 18 Grammys and has three wins, including his first in 2007 for Best Country Instrumental Performance for “Throttleneck.” He has also earned 14 Country Music Association Awards throughout his career.

Worthington is also joining Paisley on the 2026 tour. The La Porte, Texas, native is fairly new to the country music scene. He was runner-up on season six of The Voice, a televised singing competition on NBC. Worthington has collaborated with stars like Miranda Lambert, Mae Estes and Marty Stuart. He was also selected to the Grand Ole Opry’s NextStage Class of 2026.

The venue presale will begin Thursday, May 14, at 10 a.m. using the code BRADCC. Tickets officially go on sale Friday, May 15, also at 10 a.m. Reserved seating starts at $39.75, and VIP seats are also available.
