The King of Country is heading back to the Lone Star State with a pair of highly anticipated shows! George Strait has just announced two special in-the-round concerts at Austin’s Moody Center in April 2026. These intimate arena performances promise an up-close experience with timeless hits, new tracks from his latest album Cowboys and Dreamers, and the classic Strait swagger that has made him a legend.
For Texas fans and country music lovers nationwide, these Austin dates are shaping up to be must-see events in 2026. Here’s everything you need to know about George Strait’s Moody Center shows, including dates, opener, venue details, and how to score the best tickets.
George Strait 2026 Austin Show Dates and Details
George Strait will perform two nights in Austin as part of his limited 2026 schedule:
- Thursday, April 9, 2026 – Moody Center, Austin, TX (7:30 PM start)
- Saturday, April 11, 2026 – Moody Center, Austin, TX (7:30 PM start)
These shows follow his stadium dates earlier in April (including back-to-back nights in Lubbock with Miranda Lambert) and offer a more intimate twist. The in-the-round setup places George Strait center stage, surrounding him with fans on all sides for maximum engagement and killer views from every seat.
Special guest William Beckmann — the rising Texas country artist known for his soulful sound and Lone Star roots — will open both nights, adding extra local flavor to the bill.
Why These In-The-Round Moody Center Shows Are a Big Deal
After years of massive stadium tours, George Strait is delivering something special in Austin. The in-the-round format at the state-of-the-art Moody Center (home to sold-out shows by everyone from Pearl Jam to Taylor Swift) creates an electric, close-quarters atmosphere rare for an artist of Strait’s stature.
Expect setlists packed with classics like:
- “Amarillo by Morning”
- “Check Yes or No”
- “All My Ex’s Live in Texas”
- “The Chair” Plus fresh cuts from Cowboys and Dreamers and fan favorites that haven’t been heard live in years.
These April 9 and 11 dates mark a return to Austin for Strait, building on his successful 2022 Moody Center grand opening shows.
