Thomas Rhett Takes the Soundtrack to Life Tour to 24 Cities Starting July 9

Thomas Rhett launches his Soundtrack to Life Tour on July 9, 2026, in Nashville, Tennessee, kicking off a 24-date summer and fall run through October 24, 2026, in Omaha, Nebraska. Produced by Live Nation, this is Rhett’s most extensive headline trek in recent years, bringing his catalog of 22 number-one singles to arenas and amphitheaters across the United States. Tickets are available now at Ticketmaster, with VIP packages and premium seating options through Live Nation.

Emily Ann Roberts Opens Every Date on the Soundtrack to Life Tour

Emily Ann Roberts is confirmed as the featured opener for every single date on the Soundtrack to Life Tour. Roberts first gained national attention as the Season 9 runner-up on NBC’s The Voice, and she has been building one of country music’s most devoted fanbases with her clear-toned, roots-leaning sound ever since. Having her front every city of a 24-date arena run is a significant endorsement and gives Roberts the kind of national platform that can define a career. In rotating support slots across the tour, Rhett is also bringing ERNEST, Conner Smith, Kashus Culpepper, Vincent Mason, and Zach John King, the rising country singer who recently announced his debut album drops August 28, 2026. It is a deep and talented supporting card, and fans who arrive early will be rewarded.

What the Soundtrack to Life Tour Means for Thomas Rhett in 2026

Thomas Rhett has built one of the most consistent hit-making careers in modern country music. Born in Nashville and the son of country songwriting veteran Rhett Akins, he signed with Valory Music Group in 2012 and quickly rose from promising newcomer to bona fide superstar. His 22 number-one singles span Country Airplay, the Billboard Hot 100, and Adult Pop charts, a crossover range almost no other country artist has achieved. He has sold out arenas across North America and headlined major festival stages, and his live show reputation is built on high energy, deep catalog, and genuine crowd connection. The Soundtrack to Life Tour name comes from a philosophy Rhett has spoken about frequently: the best songs are not just the ones that top the charts, they are the ones that attach themselves permanently to the chapters of your life. Fans coming to any date on this tour can expect a full catalog experience, spanning from early singles to his most recent work.
