Nashville date set for September as the duo expands its touring slate

Brooks & Dunn have scheduled a Nashville stop on their 2026 “Neon Moon Tour,” booking Bridgestone Arena for Saturday, Sept. 12, 2026, with a 7 p.m. start. The run is slated to open Sept. 10 in Evansville, Indiana, and conclude Oct. 9 in Fort Worth, Texas, spanning 14 U.S. dates across arenas and amphitheaters.

Ticketing is structured around multiple sale windows. Artist presales are set to begin Wednesday, Feb. 25, 2026 at 10 a.m. local time, followed by a general on-sale Friday, Feb. 27, 2026 at 10 a.m. local time. The Nashville show is listed for ticketing through major national platforms used for arena concerts.

Support lineup varies by market; Nashville lists Tucker Wetmore and Caylee Hammack

The tour features a rotating slate of support acts. Across the itinerary, the direct-support role is split between Tucker Wetmore and David Lee Murphy on select dates, with additional support from artists including Caylee Hammack, Willow Avalon, Kaitlin Butts and Angie K depending on the city. For the Nashville stop, the listed support includes Tucker Wetmore and Caylee Hammack.

  • Nashville date: Saturday, Sept. 12, 2026 — Bridgestone Arena — 7 p.m.

  • Tour routing: 14 shows from Sept. 10 through Oct. 9, 2026

  • On-sale schedule: Feb. 25 presales; Feb. 27 general on-sale (both 10 a.m. local)

What the Nashville stop signals for the touring market

Booking Bridgestone Arena places the Nashville date among the tour’s largest-capacity rooms, aligning the duo with the region’s top-tier venues for legacy country acts. The routing also reflects a common strategy for late-summer and early-fall country touring: a relatively compact national run, mixing outdoor amphitheaters with arenas to accommodate market-by-market demand and production needs.

The 2026 schedule positions Nashville early in the run, with the tour’s first weekend moving from Indiana to Georgia to Tennessee.

Context: Brooks & Dunn’s recent touring footprint

The 2026 extension follows a period of increased live activity for Brooks & Dunn after years without a full-scale tour. The pair—Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn—have continued to appear on major concert bills and festival stages in recent seasons, and the new dates formalize a fall itinerary that brings them back through Nashville with a full arena production.
