Making the whole damn country, country, “Nashville wildcard” (Rolling Stone) HARDY continues an electric run with the release of his new studio album, “COUNTRY! COUNTRY!”; its deluxe counterpart, “COUNTRY! COUNTRY! COUNTRY!”; and recent headliner at Madison Square Garden. Today, he announces the “COUNTRY! COUNTRY! TOUR!” set for 2026.

Tickets will be available starting with a HARDY fan club presale. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on-sale beginning at 10 a.m. Friday at HardyOfficial.com. A variety of different VIP packages and experiences for fans will be offered to take their concert experience to the next level. Packages vary but include premium tickets, exclusive meet-and-greet and individual photo with HARDY, VIP-exclusive merchandise and more. VIP package contents vary based on the offer selected. For more information, visit vipnation.com.

The tour, presented by Live Nation, includes a stop at Darien Lake Amphitheatre on May 29. Genre standouts Tucker Wetmore and McCoy Moore will provide support.

HARDY’s new album, “COUNTRY! COUNTRY!”, is a return to his roots. The album and tour take their name literally with songs ranging from celebrations of his youth in the Mississippi mud – “Bottomland” being named for a specific camo pattern HARDY favors for hunting — to commentary on the state of country music at large. In sum, it’s a celebration of what makes HARDY HARDY.

The new collection of songs written by “one of country music’s most talented tunesmiths” (Billboard) includes deluxe-release “Good Ole Boy,” solo penned fan-favorite “Dog Years,” collaborations with ERNEST (“Bro Country”) and Stephen Wilson Jr. (“Bedrooms In The Sky”), and surging radio single “Favorite Country Song” – performed on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”

Wrapping his coast-to-coast rocking “JIM BOB World Tour” last month, HARDY will round out the year with “Country vs. Cancer,” a special show benefiting the American Cancer Society – headlining alongside Miranda Lambert, Dierks Bentley, Lanie Gardner and McCoy Moore at the Pinnacle in Nashville. The charitable show is presented by ACS, his recently launched charity endeavor The HARDY Fund and Whiskey Jam. Find more information here.
