He will play four shows at the Moody Center<\/p>\n

Due to overwhelming demand, George Strait has added two more shows in Austin, Texas, this spring. The country legend will now headline four nights at The Moody Center on April 9th and 11th, with William Beckman, and May 15th and 16th with Carter Faith.<\/p>\n

These are his final tour dates in 2026, with stadium shows set for Clemson, SC<\/a> and Lubbock, TX<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tickets on sale on Friday, January 30th at 10 am local time.<\/p>\n

With fewer shows a year, Strait\u2019s one-off stadium shows in 2024 included A&M\u2019s Kyle Field, playing one of the largest single ticketed concerts in U.S. history with 110,905 fans in attendance for George Strait: The King at Kyle Field<\/a>. He followed that record-breaking performance with only five live shows in 2025 with stops in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Foxboro and Inglewood\u2019s SoFi Stadium.<\/p>\n

In addition to his upcoming live performances at Austin, TX, Clemson, SC and Lubbock, TX, Strait was celebrated at the 47th Annual Kennedy Center Honors<\/a> in December, recognizing his lifetime of contributions to American culture through the performing arts and next month he will be inducted into the Texas Songwriters Hall of Fame this February, paying tribute to his enduring impact as both a performer and songwriter whose influence has shaped generations of country music.<\/p>\n
