Country Star Announces New Dates for 2026 Tour With Special Guests
Country singer Hudson Westbrook has announced new dates for his 2026 Hits Me Tour, expanding what is set to become the biggest headlining run of his career so far.
The 24-date tour will feature special guests Kenny Whitmire and Ethan Burdick and will bring the Texas native to several major markets for his first-ever headline appearances.
The tour opens with back-to-back sold-out performances at Billy Bob's in Fort Worth, Texas, on Sept. 18 and Sept. 19 before continuing across the United States through Dec. 5, when the run wraps in Nacogdoches, Texas.
Among the biggest milestones for Westbrook are his first headline shows in Los Angeles at The Novo, Washington, D.C. at The Anthem, New York City at Terminal 5, and Boston at Roadrunner.
Tickets for the newly announced dates go on sale Friday, while select fan club and venue presales will take place earlier in the week.
The tour is named after Westbrook's recently released song, "Hits Me," which arrived last week and gives fans an early look at the next chapter of music from the fast-rising country artist.

Westbrook spent time on the road supporting Bailey Zimmerman on the Same Night Different Rodeo Tour while also joining select dates of Morgan Wallen's Still The Problem Stadium Tour. He is also scheduled to appear alongside Wallen later this year at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor and Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
Westbrook recently shared an acoustic version of Morgan Wallen's "Drinking Til It Does" ahead of those stadium appearances.
Outside of touring, the country artist has continued to build his audience through festival appearances at Stagecoach, Windy City Smokeout, Country Concert 2026 and CMC Rocks.
His rapid rise has translated into major streaming success. Westbrook has generated more than 1.5 billion streams globally in less than two years of releasing original music.
The singer also reached a major career milestone with "House Again," which became his first No. 1 song on the Mediabase country chart. The achievement made him the youngest male country artist to earn a solo No. 1 on that chart.
Westbrook followed the success of "House Again" with "Painted You Pretty," the second radio single from his debut album Texas Forever.
Born and raised on a cattle farm in Stephenville, Texas, Westbrook first gained national attention after his song "Take It Slow" went viral on social media. The breakthrough eventually led him to leave Texas Tech University and pursue music full time.
Now, after opening shows for artists including Bailey Zimmerman, Morgan Wallen, George Strait and Miranda Lambert, Westbrook is stepping into the spotlight with his own largest headlining tour to date.
With two sold-out opening nights already on the schedule and first-time headline appearances in some of the country's biggest music markets, the 2026 Hits Me Tour marks another major step in the country singer's fast-growing career.
