Tyler Childers will return to the road with his 2026 Snipe Hunt tour, a massive run that brings his high-octane live show to some of the country’s most iconic venues. Newly announced stops include Chicago’s Wrigley Field, Dallas’ Dos Equis Pavilion, Birmingham’s Coca-Cola Amphitheater, Boulder’s Folsom Field, Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena and Portland’s Moda Center, among others. The full itinerary, presented by Live Nation and FPC Live, is listed below.

To participate in Tyler Childers’ Artist Pre-sale for the new shows—with special guests Jon Batiste, Evan Honer, Wednesday and Scott T. Smith—fans can sign up via the tour page by Sunday, December 7 at 11:59pm ET. Artist Pre-sales for this tour are hosted by multiple ticketing platforms, but anyone who signs up can join beginning Wednesday, December 10 at 11:00am local time. For Artist Pre-sales on Ticketmaster, no code is required, as access is tied directly to the user’s account; Artist Pre-sales hosted on other sites may require a code for entry.

General on-sale follows on Friday, December 12 at 11:00am local time. Full ticketing details and links can be found at www.tylerchildersmusic.com/tour.

Citi is the official card of Tyler Childers – Snipe Hunt. Citi cardmembers will have access to pre-sale tickets beginning Tuesday, December 9 at 11:00am local time through Thursday, December 11 at 11:00pm local time via the Citi Entertainment program. For complete Citi pre-sale details, visit www.citientertainment.com.

In keeping with Childers’ long-standing commitment to community and conservation, $1 from every ticket sold will benefit both the Hickman Holler Appalachian Relief Fund (HHARF) and REVERB. Established in 2020 by Childers and Senora May, HHARF raises awareness and financial support for philanthropic efforts throughout the Appalachian region. REVERB works to reduce environmental impact in live music, engage fans around climate action and fund carbon impact programs to address the portion of the tour’s footprint that cannot be eliminated.

To further protect fans and keep prices fair, Childers is using Ticketmaster’s Face Value Exchange, ensuring that tickets can only be resold at their original price on Ticketmaster. In New York, Illinois and Colorado—where laws prevent certain resale restrictions—Ticketmaster will still honor Childers’ terms by maintaining face value pricing on its site.

The 2026 tour comes on the heels of another triumphant year for Childers, who is nominated for four awards at the upcoming 68th Grammy Awards: Best Contemporary Country Album (Snipe Hunter), Best Country Song (“Bitin’ List”), Best Country Solo Performance (“Nose on the Grindstone”) and Best Country Duo/Group Performance (“Love Me Like You Used To Do” with Margo Price).

Released earlier this year to overwhelming acclaim, Snipe Hunter earned Childers his highest debut to date on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart (#7). The album also entered at #3 on Billboard’s Americana/Folk Albums chart, #5 on Indie Store Albums, #6 on Vinyl Albums and #6 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart (Hickman Holler Records/RCA Records). Stream or purchase the album via the usual digital and physical outlets.

In support of the release, Childers spoke with Marissa Moss for an in-depth GQ profile, and celebrated Snipe Hunter with surprise pop-up shows at Nashville’s Turkey and the Wolf and Kentucky’s Dinosaur World. Reflecting on the Dinosaur World performance, The New York Times wrote, “The magic was in the happiness of that crowd and in the music itself — the sweet songs and the rocking songs and the searching songs and the funny songs… The magic was in the love flowing back and forth between the people on the stage and the people standing in the dirt.”

Produced by Rick Rubin with additional production from Childers and Sylvan Esso’s Nick Sanborn and mixed by Shawn Everett, Snipe Hunter further solidifies Childers as “one of country music’s most compelling and unpredictable artists” (Associated Press). The collection highlights the singular songwriting and vocal presence he’s cultivated throughout his career, while continuing to push his creative boundaries into new territory.

In addition to Childers, the record features his band, The Food Stamps: James Barker (guitar, pedal steel), Craig Burletic (bass), CJ Cain (guitars), Kory Caudill (keyboards), Rodney Elkins (drums), Matt Rowland (keyboards) and Jesse Wells (guitar, fiddle).

Often described as “one of his generation’s most important voices” (Rolling Stone), the 11x Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter, musician and performer has released six acclaimed albums to date, including his 2017 RIAA Platinum debut Purgatory, 2019’s chart-topping Country Squire and 2023’s Rustin’ In The Rain, which debuted at #10 on the all-genre Billboard 200. That record features seven tracks, including the 2x Grammy, VMA and ACM-nominated single “In Your Love,” which has tallied over 13.7 million video views, 215 million on-demand streams and widespread praise from outlets such as NPR Music, Rolling Stone, Billboard, USA Today, Pitchfork, Stereogum and more.

Across these albums and countless sold-out shows worldwide, Childers has also appeared on CBS Mornings, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Late Night with Seth Meyers, NPR Music’s “Tiny Desk Concert” series and Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown, among others.

Most recently, Childers launched his limited-edition Snipe Hunter Field Watch, designed in collaboration with Cameron Weiss (founder and master watchmaker of Weiss Watch Company). Inspired by his Appalachian roots and aesthetic, the piece sold out on its first day of release.
