Kicking off on January 15 in Raleigh, North Carolina, the tour will make stops in Nashville, Chicago, Tampa, and more before wrapping up on February 28 in Buffalo, New York.
“What a ride the past year has been! We’re so excited to continue this tour, the response we’ve received from everyone has been overwhelming and humbling,” Rascal Flatts’ Jay DeMarcus shared. “We’ve truly had such a blast over the past year getting back in front of our fans out on the road, and we thought, ‘Why not keep the party going?’”

Rascal Flatts had previously teased the possibility of another tour, sparking hopes that something might be in the works. While speaking with Country Now backstage at the ACM Awards, they dropped another playful hint, responding with, “Well, it may not be,” when we mentioned how sad we were to see the tour end.
The just-announced 2026 trek follows the release of the group’s LIFE IS A HIGHWAY: REFUELED DUETS, a star-studded collaboration album featuring Blake Shelton, Jordan Davis, Kelly Clarkson, Jason Aldean, and more.
