The 70-year-old actor and musician will stop by Billy Bob’s Texas on July 17 with his band The Boxmasters. The show is part of the band’s 2026 Morro Rock Tour, which begins in late June and continues through early August.
Thornton formed the group in 2006, and the band has churned out 19 albums since. Their next album, In The Bay, releases June 12.
Tickets for the Fort Worth show are on sale now and vary in price depending on seating. In addition to Cowtown, other Texas tour stops include Tomball, Whitehouse, Austin and New Braunfels.
ZZ Top opened for The Boxmasters at the band’s first Billy Bob’s Texas show on March 19, 2009.
The band returned to the “world’s largest honky tonk” a decade later on July 27, 2019. This summer’s concert will be the band’s first show back at Billy Bob’s in seven years.
In 2023 and 2024, the band performed just down the road from Billy Bob’s Texas at Tannahill’s Tavern & Music Hall.
Thornton has become a Fort Worth mainstay over the past couple of years due to Taylor Sheridan’s Landman.
The Paramount+ series is primarily filmed, and partially set, in Fort Worth. The show wrapped up its 10-episode second season in January, and has been renewed for a third go-around.
In January, Landman co-creator Christian Wallace told the Hollywood Reporter that filming on Season 3 begins in May. If that remains the case, Thornton will have a busy spring and summer between filming the show and touring with his band.
For anyone looking to catch up on Landman, both seasons are streaming on Paramount+.
