Jason Isbell has always understood that the quietest moments can carry the most weight. So it feels right that his return to Radio City Music Hall begins not with a bang, but with a whisper: a solo acoustic set on Friday, February 20, 2026. Just a man, a guitar, and the stories that have made him one of America’s most trusted songwriters. The following night, he’ll bring the full force of the 400 Unit, a band so tight and intuitive they seem to move as one.

The timing isn’t incidental. Isbell’s latest record, Foxes in the Snow, is a stark and gorgeous collection that distills everything he’s honed over the past two decades: restraint, precision, empathy. It’s the kind of album that invites you in and leaves you changed. And in a room like Radio City, that intimacy will echo in every corner. Saturday’s set with the 400 Unit promises a different kind of communion: electric, communal, shot through with Southern grit and grace.

Opening these two nights are kindred spirits. Shelby Lynne brings a voice as bruised and luminous as ever on Friday, while Saturday features Alejandro Escovedo, a punk poet turned elder statesman. Both choices say as much about Isbell’s artistic ethos as his own setlist might: he’s here to honor the craft.

Jason Isbell performs at Radio City Music Hall on Friday, February 20 (solo acoustic, with Shelby Lynne) and Saturday, February 21 (with the 400 Unit and Alejandro Escovedo). Tickets available at ticketmaster.com.
