An All-Star ’90s Country Concert Featuring Over 30 Artists Is Coming To Huntsville, Alabama In February
This may be my dream concert.
I grew up on ’90s country. From Tracy Byrd to Tracy Lawrence, Joe Diffie, Alan Jackson, Pam Tillis, Jo Dee Messina…it just doesn’t get any better.
Of course that ’90s country sound is coming back thanks to artists like Zach Top, Jake Worthington and Randall King, just to name a few. But at the same time, a lot of the original artists that I grew up listening to are still out on the road and making music too. And it looks like most of them will be in Huntsville, Alabama early next year.
Announced yesterday, An All‑Star Salute to ’90s Country will take place at the Von Braun Center in Huntsville on “Throwback Thursday,” February 5, 2026 for a one-night only television concert special featuring over 30 (with more to be announced) of the biggest names in ’90s country.
And let me tell you, I couldn’t have put together a better lineup if I tried.
So far, artists performing on the show include Rhett Akins, John Berry, Tracy Byrd, Paulette Carlson of Highway 101, Deana Carter, Mark Chesnutt, Mark Collie, Confederate Railroad, Billy Dean, Andy Griggs, Wade Hayes, Ty Herndon, The Kentucky Headhunters, Tracy Lawrence, Neal McCoy, Lorrie Morgan, Paul Overstreet, Lee Roy Parnell, Michael Peterson, Collin Raye, Ricochet, Doug Stone, Rick Trevino, Tanya Tucker, Bryan White, Mark Wills, Michelle Wright, and ’90s country supergroup The Frontmen, which is made up of Tim Rushlow of Little Texas, Larry Stewart of Restless Heart and Richie McDonald of Lonestar.
That lineup is basically my Spotify playlist. Just from looking at that lineup I can pick out 10 artists that I’ve listened to in the past week. (I’ve been on a big Restless Heart kick lately – “Fast Movin’ Train” and “Dancy’s Dream” are such underrated classics).
In addition to pretty much being the soundtrack to my childhood, together the artists on the lineup combined for 60 #1 hits and 50 million records sold.
The show is being produced by the same team that brought us George Jones: Still Playin’ Possum, and Songs & Stories of Dean Dillon, which were also filmed at Propst Arena at the Von Braun Center.
I’ve gotta admit, I’m getting pretty jealous of Huntsville for getting all these amazing all-star shows.
Tickets for the concert go on sale this Friday, October 24 at 10:00 AM central time, and you’ve gotta think they’re gonna go quick.
A few years ago we made an April Fools Day post announcing a ’90s country festival featuring our dream lineup, and it looked a lot like the lineup of this show. This is one that any ’90s country fan is going to want to make plans to travel for, and luckily Huntsville is just a quick drive from Nashville if you want to make a full country music weekend out of it.
I know where I’ll be on February 5. I haven’t even checked my calendar yet, but anything else on it can wait. I’ve got some ’90s country to listen to.
