Country hitmaker Tracy Lawrence is hitting the road in 2026 on his newly announced No Alibis Tour.
Named after the Texas native’s second studio album and hit song of the same name, the tour will hit cities across the U.S. starting March 12 and continue through much of the year, with additional dates to be announced.
Lawrence will also return to Nashville’s iconic Ryman Auditorium for the third year in a row, following back-to-back sellout shows.
“This year felt like the right time to lean back into headlining more shows and really celebrate these songs with the folks who’ve been there from the beginning and love real country music,” Lawrence shared. “The No Alibis Tour is about showing up and sharing a night that reminds us why we fell in love with country music in the first place. I can’t wait to sing all the hits together!”
Presale kicks off today, Jan. 28, at 10 a.m. local time; general on-sale begins Friday, Jan. 30, at 10 a.m. local time. Purchase tickets here.
In 2025, Tracy Lawrence took the country by storm, hitting the road for headline shows and sharing the stage with Josh Turner. He also made a return to the NFR, joining Rodeo Live! for an interview after his performance. Last year, the country legend brought down the house at Stagecoach, filling the Palomino Stage with a lively crowd singing along to every one of his timeless hits.
With over 13 million albums sold and 18 No. 1 singles, Lawrence has been a cornerstone of country music for more than three decades, leaving a lasting mark on the genre with hits like “I See It Now,” “Texas Tornado,” “Time Marches On,” and many more.

The Voice contestant, Jay Allen has announced that after over a decade of living in Nashville, he is leaving the hustle and bustle of Music City behind.
In a new post, Allen penned a “goodbye” message addressed to the city that he has called home for 13 years. The singer revealed that he will be moving to Phoenix, AZ. This seems to be an obvious choice for him to continue building a future with his fiancée, Renee Lynn, whose Instagram bio shows she’s from Gilbert, AZ
He reflects on his time in Nashville, noting how the city shaped his musical journey, tested his resilience, and ultimately gave him the realization that true success comes from within, not from a particular place.
“Goodbye Nashville. After 13 years, today we officially packed up my condo and hit the road to Phoenix, AZ. I’ll be forever grateful to the town that gave me a career, broke my heart in more ways than one, and taught me that dreams are not accomplished in a place, but within one’s self,” Allen wrote.
The Iowa native also shared that on the same day he finished packing up the U-Haul and was ready to head out of town, he also celebrated being 21 months “free of alcohol and addiction.” He also promised that this goodbye was not permanent as he planned to return at some point to continue building his career in music.
“I’ll be back for work, but for now — so long, Music City,” the message concluded.
This news follows a major life update for Allen. On December 25, he shared with the world that he had proposed to Lynn while spending the holidays in Arizona. The images captured Allen down on one knee as he popped the question to his other half. Both donning their festive, all-black ensembles, they celebrated the exciting moment among family members.
His caption read, “SHE SAID YES!!!!! Merry Christmas to my beautiful @renee_lynn_r. With a sober mind, I can confidently say that I’m in love with you and want a family with you. God only knows what we’ve both been through to get here. Thank you for waiting for me. My gift is you 🖤”
The excitement doesn’t end there for Jay Allen, because just a few days ago, he delivered yet another update to fans regarding his music career.
“I signed a deal!!!!!,” he wrote. “I’ve known @randallfoster for over 10 years, and it finally made sense for us to partner. I’m proud to announce that I’ll be releasing all of my new solo and forthcoming rock music exclusively through @symphonicdistro. Believing in a positive future with good people.”
Between the new music on the way and a wedding to plan, it sounds like Jay Allen has plenty on his plate right now. Fans can catch him performing live throughout 2026 on his Living Gracefully Tour, with dates through April.
A full list of upcoming performances can be found on his official website.
