Chris Stapleton will headline a major stadium concert in Cincinnati as part of an expanded 2026 run of his All-American Road Show, according to venue officials and tour organizers. The Grammy-winning artist is scheduled to perform at Paycor Stadium on Aug. 8, marking one of the largest shows of his career in Ohio and a rare country headliner date at the NFL venue.

The concert will take place at Paycor Stadium, home of the Cincinnati Bengals, with country artist Lainey Wilson announced as a special guest. Bengals officials confirmed the event in a statement, calling it one of the most significant live music bookings in the stadium’s history.

The date is part of Stapleton’s ongoing All-American Road Show, which has been extended into 2026 following strong demand across North America. Tour representatives said the Cincinnati performance was added as the production scales up to larger venues, including select stadiums, after years of sold-out arena and amphitheater dates.

Stapleton, a Kentucky native, has maintained a limited but highly attended touring schedule, often emphasizing fewer dates with larger crowds. Industry analysts note that his move into stadium headlining reflects sustained ticket demand and crossover appeal beyond traditional country audiences.

Ticket sales for the Cincinnati show are scheduled to begin later this month through Ticketmaster, with presale opportunities expected for select cardholders and fan club members. Pricing and seating details were not immediately released by organizers.

Additional 2026 tour dates and cities are listed on Stapleton’s official website, with more announcements expected in the coming weeks. Officials said the Cincinnati concert will follow his summer run through major U.S. markets.
