Tyler Childers Snipe Hunt Tour 2026: Where to buy tickets, schedule

Tyler Childers has officially scoped out his 2026 ‘Snipe Hunt Tour.’

The nationwide jaunt will take the country icon to stadiums, ballparks, arenas, amphitheaters and pavilions all over North America from April through October with special guests Jon Batiste, Wednesday, Evan Honer and Scott T. Smith joining him on select dates.

All shows come in support of the “Nose on the Grindstone” crooner’s seventh studio album that shares a name with the tour.

That includes a gig at Darien Center, NY’s Darien Lake Amphitheater on Wednesday, June 10.

In addition to the tour, Childers is also slated to lend his talents to a pair of big-name music festivals. Come June 7, fans can catch the seven-time Grammy nominee at Lexington, KY’s Railbird Festival with The Lumineers and Zach Top; then, a week later, he’ll co-headline Columbus, OH’s Buckeye Country Superfest on June 13 alongside Red Clay Strays and Lord Huron.

Prior to the forthcoming trek, the 34-year-old Kentuckian has traveled the world as part of his 2025 ‘On The Road Tour,’ which included a pair of concerts at Queens’ Forest Hills Stadium.

At both shows, he performed 21 songs but nights one and two weren’t exactly identical even though they were structured as such.

“Both nights got plenty of ‘Snipe Hunter’ material, but Childers mixed up the set lists some too, playing ‘Shake the Frost’ and ‘Universal Sound’ on night one, and ‘In Your Love’ and ‘Gemini’ on night two,” Brooklyn Vegan reported. “He also did a trio of songs each night from a smaller b-staged positioned towards the back of the venue, one solo acoustic and two with Jesse Wells and Craig Burletic from his band.”

Fans Copperheads can purchase tickets for all upcoming Tyler Childers shows on sites like Vivid Seats; the official on-sale for the ‘Snipe Hunt Tour’ is Friday, Dec. 12.

Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.

They have a 100% buyer guarantee that states your transaction will be safe and secure and will be delivered before the event.

Tyler Childers new music

On July 25, the prolific vocalist released his seventh studio album “Snipe Hunter.”

The rollickin’ record is a blast of Americana, blues and country with a dash of rockabilly and a whole lot of attitude. Opening track “Eatin’ Big Time” is an angry rocker full of expletives; it’s a cosmic blast to the jugular and shows that the redheaded singer isn’t messing around.

He slows things down right after with the gentle “Cuttin’ Teeth” and stripped-down “Oneida.” Things pick back up once the opening strings of the jaunty, unhinged “Bitin’ List” sound. From there, the soaring “Nose on the Grindstone” makes a case to stay in Childers’ repertoire for the rest of his career.

Don’t stop there though. The upbeat “Poachers” may be the album’s highlight. Imagine Jack White singing with his britches hiked up in a swamp but…better. This one’s a keeper.

Closing out the record are the urgent title track “Snipe Hunt,” laid-back line dancer “Tirtha Yatra,” cinematic “Tomcat and a Dandy” and spaced-out singalong “Dirty Ought Trill.”

Sound like fun? Give “Snipe Hunter” a spin here.
