In a post captioned “Between us 👀“, Billy Strings teased his upcoming 2026 summer tour dates. Among the most eye-catching revelations is a two-day camping event in Bethel, NY, site of the 1969 Woodstock festival.

Although Tuesday’s post didn’t include on-sale times or the typical tour announcement trappings, it was much more direct than Strings’ word search or crossword puzzle tour previews. Alongside his previously announced winter and spring tour dates, Strings listed an eight-city, 12-show run. Set to kick off July 14th in Roanoke, VA, the tour will visit Portsmouth, VA (7/17–7/18), Boston (7/21), Portland, ME (7/24–7/25), and Hartford, CT (7/28).

Then on July 31st and August 1st, Strings has a visit to Bethel, NY penciled in, with the added notation of “Camping” and a check mark. Following Bethel, there is a trip to Billy’s hometown of Ionia, MI, on August 28th and 29th, though these dates are annotated with question marks. Finally, the last date Billy has listed is for simply “Kentucky” on September 11th. The new summer dates also hint at another taping for Austin City Limits, following his 2021 debut on the program. As the current presidential administration slashes funding for public media, forcing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to close earlier this month, Strings noted on his tour schedule, “support PBS”.

These new 2026 summer dates supplement Billy Strings’ winter tour, set to begin next month with a sold-out two-night run in Athens, GA (2/6–2/7). More sold-out shows will follow in Asheville, NC (2/10–2/11, 2/13–2/14) and Nashville (2/20–2/22). Billy hinted at the usual guest-filled nature of his adopted hometown shows in Nashville, writing “plan something to get freaky → invite some friends?”

Then, in spring, Strings and his band will visit Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, and Indiana through April. In this latest illustration, Strings also hinted at recording an album following the spring dates: “get with the boys and nail it down.”
