Turnpike Troubadours Extend ‘Wild America Tour’ Into 2026, Announce Back-To-Back Billy Bob’s Shows
Extending the tour into 2026.
It’s safe to say that it has been another highly successful year for the Turnpike Troubadours. In addition to scoring massive opening spots on Cross Canadian Ragweed’s highly successful “Boys From Oklahoma” concert series, both in Stillwater, Oklahoma and Waco, Texas, the Red Dirt legends would also score huge appearances at Zach Bryan’s concerts over the summer, notably performing to his huge, sold-out shows at both BST Hyde Park in London and Golden Gate Park in San Francisco.
Of course, they also released their sixth studio album, The Price of Admission, back in April to high praise from both fans and critics alike. Marking the second release since the band returned from an extended hiatus, The Price of Admission proved to many (myself included) why Turnpike is ultimately one of the greatest bands in the history of the genre, featuring some all-time tracks from the group such as “Heaven Passing Through,” “On The Red River” and the severely underrated, “Ruby Ann.”
In addition to the success of both The Price of Admission and their inclusion on Bryan and Ragweed’s high-profile shows throughout the year, Turnpike themselves have been headlining their own string of sold-out shows throughout the country on the Wild America Tour.
The tour, which began on August 28th in Chicago, has been nothing short of a success for Felker and Co., selling out everywhere from Lubbock and Corpus Christi to Washington, D.C. and St. Louis. With only two more shows remaining in 2025, Turnpike has already set their sights on 2026 and extended the tour into 2026.
Just announced this morning, Turnpike will be playing an additional nine shows on the Wild America Tour in 2026.

The new batch of tour dates will kick off with back-to-back nights in Lubbock at the iconic Billy Bob’s Texas on January 30th and 31st, before wrapping up in Asbury Park, New Jersey, at The Stone Pony Summer Stage on June 6th. Along the way, they will hit the likes of Philadelphia, Boston, New York and more.
Turnpike will be calling upon the likes of Robert Earl Keen, Charles Wesley Godwin, Lucero and the red-hot folk group, Buffalo Traffic Jam, as openers on select dates throughout the nine dates on the extended tour. It should also be noted that openers for the two nights at Billy Bob’s have not been revealed yet.
Advanced presale goes live this Wednesday, November 11th, at 10 a.m. local time with public onsale starting on Friday, November 14th, at 10 a.m. local.
Having the pleasure of seeing them twice over the past three years, there’s absolutely no denying that Turnpike is one of the best live shows in the entire genre, and they seem to be getting even better as the years go by. Between frontman Evan Felker’s masterfully penned lyrics and lead vocals, Kyle Nix’s electric fiddle work and RC Edwards’ presence both as a bassist and co-writer on many tracks, there’s truly nothing better than a Turnpike concert. You won’t want to miss them if they are in your city.
