GRAMMY award-winning singer, songwriter, author, actor and activist Steve Earle is returning to the road in 2026 with Fifty One Years of Songs and Stories, a North American tour featuring more than seventy dates across the United States and Canada from February through November.
Fans will get a chance to see Earle in iconic venues, including the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville on February 21 and March 17, two nights at New York City’s Gramercy Theatre on February 27 and March 13, and a special performance at Nashville’s legendary Ryman Auditorium on May 31. He will also appear at major festivals such as the New Orleans Jazz Fest, Pickathon and join the Outlaw Country Cruise out of Miami on March 20.
In cities that previously hosted his “51” concept shows, Earle will present new setlists and stories, giving audiences fresh experience while still delivering the humor, insight and passion that have defined his live performances for decades. Over his fifty-year career, Earle has left a mark not only in music but also in literature, film, theater, and activism. Recent recognition includes a GRAMMY for A Tribute to the King of Zydeco and induction into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame.
The 2026 tour is an opportunity to celebrate a lifetime of music, storytelling and the connection between an artist and his audience. For anyone who loves heartfelt songwriting and unforgettable performances, these shows are not to be missed.
