The King of Country is coming home again. <\/p>\n
George Strait announced Friday morning that he\u2019ll return to the Lone Star State stage next spring for a concert at Jones AT&T Stadium in Lubbock, home of the Texas Tech Red Raiders. <\/p>\n
The show, set for April 25, will feature fellow Texans Miranda Lambert and rising star Hudson Westbrook, making it a full-blown celebration of the state\u2019s country lineage.<\/p>\n
Tickets go on sale Nov. 21 at 10 a.m. through georgestrait.com<\/a> and if history is any indication, they won\u2019t last long. Strait\u2019s last Texas throwdown, a record-shattering June 2024 show at Kyle Field in College Station, drew an astonishing 110,905 fans<\/a>, the largest ticketed crowd ever for a U.S. concert. That night felt like a coronation, and if Lubbock gets anything close, it\u2019ll be a landmark moment for a city that\u2019s produced its own share of country legends.<\/p>\n This latest announcement comes on the heels of a year that\u2019s shown Strait at his most grounded and generous. Just weeks after devastating floods tore through the Hill Country over the Fourth of July, Strait traded stadium lights for something smaller and far more personal: a benefit concert in Boerne at the Estancia at Thunder Valley. Limited to 1,000 guests and priced at $1,000 a head, the evening raised funds for flood victims, and, in true Strait fashion, turned heartbreak into harmony.<\/p>\n
