George Strait makes exciting announcement after 'overwhelming demand'

George Strait just turned one big home-state comeback into two.

On Monday, November 17, the country legend announced the addition of a second Lubbock show after fans rushed to grab tickets for what was originally billed as a “one night only” event.

Strait, 73, first announced his April 25, 2026 concert at AT&T Stadium in Texas earlier this month, marking his first Lubbock performance in more than a decade. But with demand skyrocketing, he revealed that he’s opening the doors a night early.

The April 24 show will feature Zach Top and Dylan Gossett, while the original date pairs him with Miranda Lambert and Hudson Westbrook.

Anyone hoping to catch Strait live will need to move fast. Presale for both concerts begins today, November 17, at 10 a.m. CST through Strait’s website, with general tickets available on November 21.

The Grammy-winning singer is also gearing up for another major moment. Strait will return to Clemson University’s Memorial Stadium — also known as Death Valley — on May 2, 2026, his first show there in 25 years.

Strait has been taking a selective approach to touring in recent years, performing limited shows every spring and summer. Still, fans remain hopeful for a larger tour.
