George Strait is making headlines this week with a major concert announcement that's already sending fans into a frenzy. The King of Country revealed he's returning to Clemson University's Memorial Stadium, known as Death Valley, on May 2, 2026. This marks a full-circle moment since Strait was the last artist to perform there back in 1999, making it 27 years between shows. He'll be joined by Cody Johnson and Wyatt Flores for what's being billed as a historic in-the-round performance at the 81,000-seat venue, with Clemson officials estimating roughly 90,000 fans will pack the stadium.
Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Eastern Time this Friday, October 31, and early access sign-ups began on October 27. The announcement was made at the Clemson Board of Trustees fall quarterly meetings and comes as part of a new partnership between Clemson Athletic Ventures and Does Entertainment to bring concerts back to the stadium under the Death Valley Nights series. Strait dropped a teaser for the show on social media earlier this week that has fans buzzing with excitement.
Just days ago, Strait made a surprise appearance at the Country Music Hall of Fame ceremony in Nashville on October 21, honoring longtime producer and friend Tony Brown who was inducted in the Non-Performer category. Strait performed his hit Troubadour at the CMA Theater, and fans online couldn't stop raving about how amazing the 73-year-old legend still sounds. Brown worked extensively with Strait throughout his career and spoke emotionally about their collaboration during his acceptance speech.
Looking ahead to the end of the year, Strait is set to be celebrated at the 47th Annual Kennedy Center Honors this December, recognizing his lifetime contributions to American culture through the performing arts. He'll also be inducted into the Texas Songwriters Hall of Fame early next year. These honors cap off an incredible period for Strait, who broke the U.S. concert crowd record in June 2024 when over 110,000 fans attended his show at Texas A&M's Kyle Field.
