Vince Gill’s 50 Years From Home Tour opens tonight, June 18, 2026, at the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts in Orlando, Florida, launching a 34-date run across the United States. The tour honors a personal milestone: five decades since the 22-time Grammy winner and Country Music Hall of Fame inductee left his home in Oklahoma as a teenager to pursue a career in music. Central Florida fans get the first show tonight, with six Florida performances spread across the next 10 days. Tickets are on sale now at Ticketmaster and venue box offices.
A Half-Century of Country Music Excellence
Few careers in country music stand alongside Vince Gill’s. The Oklahoma native has earned 22 Grammy Awards, 18 CMA Awards, and 8 ACM Awards, with inductions into the Country Music Hall of Fame (2007), the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame (2005), and the Musicians Hall of Fame (2022). He holds a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and received the 2025 CMA Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award. His breakthrough came in 1990 with “When I Call Your Name,” which won CMA Single and Song of the Year and a Grammy for Best Country Vocal Performance, Male. Over 30 million albums sold and 45 charted singles later, Gill remains one of country’s most decorated and most respected live performers. Billboard has called him “a Nashville country virtuoso,” and that assessment still holds.
Since 2017, Gill has also served as a touring member of the Eagles, performing to sold-out crowds at venues including Sphere in Las Vegas. The 50 Years From Home Tour runs alongside that ongoing commitment. To mark the milestone, Gill launched a monthly EP series under the same title, releasing brand-new music throughout 2025 and into 2026. Three EPs are already available: I Gave You Everything I Had (October 17, 2025), Secondhand Smoke (November 14, 2025), and Brown’s Diner Bar (January 9, 2026). Each includes six original songs and one previous hit.
