Whether you want to see Country Music Hall of Famers (Hank Williams Jr., George Strait), '90s legends (The Chicks, Shania Twain), 21st century standard bearers (Carrie Underwood, Kane Brown) or this decade's breakout stars (Lainey Wilson, Walker Hayes), there's an upcoming, ongoing or recent tour that should be in your wheelhouse.

Tours spilling over from 2022 range from Underwood's Denim & Diamonds Tour to The Judds' Final Tour. For the latter, a star-studded group of the singers she inspired, including Kelsea Ballerini and Ashley McBryde, joined live music phenom Wynonna Judd in celebrating the timeless music she made with her late mother, Naomi.
"The decision to add 15 more shows [for 2023] was a no-brainer for me," Judd shared in a press release. "The fans have been such a gift during my time of grieving and honoring my mother in song. What an amazing season this is. I look so forward to continuing the celebration of the music that has changed my life forever."
There's also a stacked slate of country superstars with Las Vegas residencies. Brooks will hold court in Sin City, as will The Chicks, Luke Bryan, Miranda Lambert and Keith Urban. Each follow a tradition that at least traces back to Elvis Presley's first Vegas stay in 1969.
Brooks' initial slate of appearances at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace sold so well that new dates for 2024 will be announced in May 2023.
"You're scared to death... when they tell you that they're going to put on a whole year of shows," Brooks explained in a press statement. "And then... the first day of on-sale... they call you and tell you that the whole year is gone. That's an amazing feeling, as you can imagine. And all of a sudden it hits you - 'they want to extend this!' Well the only thing better than one year at Caesars Palace in Vegas would be two years, right? So I'm there!"
Keep an eye on this list because it will be updated throughout the year with newly-announced tours as well as additional dates for those already listed.
