The Cody Johnson Live '26 Tour is set to visit Manchester, London, Birmingham, and Glasgow this autumn. The tour kicked off in Alabama with two sold-out shows, and now Cody is bringing his electrifying performance to the UK for the first time

Parker McCollum will join Cody as main tour support, making his highly anticipated debut in the UK and Ireland. With chart-topping singles and multiple awards, Parker has quickly risen to international country-music fame. Emily Ann Roberts will open for all UK dates except Manchester, showcasing her powerhouse vocals and rising star energy.

Cody Johnson, hailed as “the future of real country music,” continues to impress fans and the industry alike. His career includes six successful albums, including the 2024 CMA Album of the Year Leather, four RIAA Platinum No.1 singles, and over 10 billion global streams. His current radio hit, 'The Fall', has amassed more than 150 million streams, while his latest single 'Travelin’ Soldier' debuted at No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100—the highest-charting song of his career.

In 2025, Cody sold 400,000 concert tickets, reaching Billboard’s Top 100 Tours list. His previous tours spanned Australia, New Zealand, Europe, and the U.S., including back-to-back sold-out shows at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena. Praises for his voice have been unanimous, with The Tennessean calling him “the evening’s biggest superstar.”

Cody’s accolades include CMT Artist of the Year, four CMA Awards, two ACM Awards, the ACM Honors Spirit Award, three CMT Music Awards, and “Best New Country Artist” at the iHeart Music Awards. Fans have enjoyed his performances on The Today Show, The Kelly Clarkson Show, and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, as well as live award-show performances and co-hosting CMA Fest Presented by Sofi.
