No summer is complete without a Dierks Bentley tour.
Luckily for fans, the “Drunk On A Plane” singer just announced his 2026 Off The Map Tour. Last summer, Bentley’s Broken Branches Tour was a fan favorite experience with supporting acts including Zach Top, The Band Loula, and, of course, some viral-worthy moments from the Hot Country Knights.
This time around, he’ll be joined by 15-time Grammy-winning artist Ricky Skaggs and his band Kentucky Thunder, along with Cole Goodwin, Kaitlin Butts, Owen Riegling, and Mountain Grass Unit. Skaggs joined Bentley in the announcement video for a bluegrass-fueled performance of “Free and Easy (Down The Road I Go.” Bentley expressed his enthusiasm for this lineup of opening performers, saying, “The band and I are so excited about sharing the road with the one and only Ricky Skaggs, as well as with the other guys and girls on the shows with us this summer.” And excitingly adding, “Going to be some great on-stage collaborations this summer.”
This tour will also be a quick turnaround compared to last summer’s with a lineup of just 11 dates across a six-week run starting in early June. However, Bentley will spend the weeks leading up to his headlining tour as an opener for Luke Combs’ My Kinda Saturday Night stadium tour.
In a recent interview, Bentley said that this ramp-up to the Off The Map Tour as an opener is an extremely exciting opportunity for him, given he hasn’t been an opener for anyone since 2012. He told CMT, “For me, honestly, kind of compressing our whole show down to 50 minutes. It’s pretty awesome, you know. Pack it all in, nothing but the hits.”
Bentley’s amphitheater tour is bound to feature his hits as well as highlight a lot of the songs off of his most recent 2025 album, Broken Branches, including the tour’s namesake, “Off The Map.” While there’s no doubt that this show will be an extension of Bentley’s well-known high-energy performances, he says that following the song’s vibe, this tour will be a relaxing escape for fans via his music. “‘Off The Map’ is a song about going to that place where you take a break from it for a little bit, whether it’s a bar stool sipping something cold, or a back porch down a back road. I like to think that our shows are a place where our fans can go off the map for a few hours, and recharge the batteries.”
For fans hoping to snag tickets for one of the upcoming shows, tickets go on sale Friday, February 20, at 10 am local time, with Bentley’s Risers pre-sale happening beforehand as well.
