Country music fans are in a frenzy as George Strait hints at a 2026 announcement with a throwback festival poster.
Although Strait ended his long tour runs after the Cowboy Rides Away tour in 2014, he continues to perform, albeit at a reduced pace. This year, he did a limited number of shows with Chris Stapleton, a collaboration they also did in 2024.
