Turnpike Troubadours Scheduled for Three Consecutive Nights at Billy Bob’s Texas in 2026
The Turnpike Troubadours have officially announced a three-show engagement at Billy Bob’s Texas in Fort Worth, set to take place from January 30 through February 1, 2026. This triple-header is part of the band’s ongoing “Wild America Tour,” which sees the Red Dirt icons extending their road schedule well into the new year. Support acts for the Fort Worth dates have been identified as Noeline Hofmann for the Friday night performance and Jesse Daniel for Saturday.
The Oklahoma-based band, fronted by Evan Felker, has maintained a rigorous touring pace since returning from an indefinite hiatus in 2019. Billy Bob’s Texas, frequently cited as the “World’s Largest Honky Tonk,” serves as a familiar stronghold for the group, having hosted them for multiple sold-out runs in previous years. The band continues to support their 2023 comeback album, A Cat in the Rain, while recent reports indicate they are touring behind new material slated for 2025.
While the announcement has been welcomed by the fanbase, the logistics of a three-night stand in the Fort Worth Stockyards present valid concerns. Traffic congestion in the historic district is often severe during high-capacity events, complicating parking and access for attendees. Furthermore, the high demand for tickets frequently triggers immediate sell-outs, forcing many fans to rely on secondary markets where prices are significantly inflated by scalpers. From a performance standpoint, audio critics sometimes note that consecutive shows can strain vocal durability, potentially affecting the consistency of the final performance in the series. Despite these logistical hurdles, the demand for the Turnpike Troubadours’ live performances remains high across the region.
