Childers is using Ticketmaster’s Face Value Exchange to help fans get tickets at the original price. Tickets can only be resold on Ticketmaster at face value.

The 2026 dates add to yet another triumphant year for Childers, who is nominated for four awards at the upcoming 68th Grammy Awards: Best Contemporary Country Album (“Snipe Hunter”), Best Country Song (“Bitin’ List”), Best Country Solo Performance (“Nose on the Grindstone”) and Best Country Duo/Group Performance (“Love Me Like You Used To Do” with Margo Price).

Released earlier this year to overwhelming acclaim, “Snipe Hunter” earned Childers his highest debut on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart to date (No. 7) and also entered at No. 3 on Billboard’s Americana/Folk Albums, No. 5 Indie Store Albums, No. 6 on Vinyl Albums charts and No. 6 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart.

In celebration of the release, Childers spoke with Marissa Moss for an in-depth profile at GQ, and performed special pop up shows at Nashville’s Turkey and the Wolf and Kentucky’s Dinosaur World, the latter of which The New York Times praised, “The magic was in the happiness of that crowd and in the music itself – the sweet songs and the rocking songs and the searching songs and the funny songs. … The magic was in the love flowing back and forth between the people on the stage and the people standing in the dirt.” 

Produced by Rick Rubin with additional production from Childers and Sylvan Esso’s Nick Sanborn and mixed by Shawn Everett, the project further establishes Childers as “one of country music’s most compelling and unpredictable artists” (Associated Press), as he puts forth a collection that showcases the signature artistry he’s cultivated throughout his esteemed career, while continuing to push his own creative boundaries.

In addition to Childers, the record features his band The Food Stamps: James Barker (guitar, pedal steel), Craig Burletic (bass), CJ Cain (guitars), Kory Caudill (keyboards), Rodney Elkins (drums), Matt Rowland (keyboards) and Jesse Wells (guitar, fiddle).

“One of his generation’s most important voices” (Rolling Stone), the 11-times-Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter, musician and performer has released six acclaimed albums to date, including his 2017 RIAA Platinum debut, “Purgatory”; 2019’s No. 1 “Country Squire” and 2023’s “Rustin’ In The Rain,” which debuted at No. 10 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart. The record features seven tracks, including the two-times-Grammy, VMA and ACM-nominated single, “In Your Love,” which, since its release, has garnered over 13.7 million video views, 215 million on-demand streams, and received overwhelming praise from outlets such as NPR Music, Rolling Stone, Billboard, USA Today, Pitchfork and Stereogum.

Childers has also performed countless sold-out shows across the world and been featured on “CBS Mornings,” “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” plus NPR Music’s “Tiny Desk Concert” series, and “Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown.”

Most recently, Childers launched his limited-edition Snipe Hunter Field Watch, designed in collaboration with Cameron Weiss (founder and master watchmaker of Weiss Watch Co.), which was inspired by his Appalachian roots and sold out in its first day on sale.
