George Strait Announces Comeback Clemson Stadium Show in 2026

In a highly anticipated announcement, country music icon George Strait is set to return to Clemson's Memorial Stadium in South Carolina on May 2, 2026. This will mark Strait's first performance at the venue since his last concert there in 1999.

The upcoming show will also feature rising stars Cody Johnson and Wyatt Flores, further adding to the excitement for fans. Tickets for the event are scheduled to go on sale on October 31st, 2025.

Over the past several years, Strait has maintained a steady presence on the stadium concert circuit, playing a handful of shows each spring and summer. In 2024, he even set a new record for the largest single ticketed concert crowd in U.S. history, drawing an astounding 110,905 people to his performance at Texas A&M's Kyle Field. This impressive feat was later surpassed by Zach Bryan's show at Michigan Stadium earlier this year.

While the Clemson concert is the only date Strait has announced so far, his recent social media activity has sparked speculation that more stadium shows may be in the works. Fans are eagerly awaiting any additional announcements from the legendary country artist.

In addition to his upcoming Clemson performance, Strait is also set to be honored at the prestigious Kennedy Center Honors in Washington, D.C. this December. He will be recognized for his significant contributions to American culture, solidifying his status as one of the most influential figures in country music history.
