Billy Strings announces Winter Tour 2027: Dates, presales and tickets

A Billy Strings tour announcement rarely means just picking the closest city and calling it a night. His constantly changing setlists, sprawling jams and multi-night runs have made following him from show to show part of the experience for many fans.

That will be especially true for his Winter 2027 tour. Billy Strings has announced a compact 10-show U.S. run built almost entirely around multi-night stands, beginning with five performances in Asheville before continuing to Duluth and ending with three nights in Nashville. The tour arrives the same day Strings releases his new album, So Much for Goodbyes, on August 28, 2026.

The final Nashville weekend has an added twist: after two arena shows at Bridgestone Arena, Strings will close the tour inside the much smaller Ryman Auditorium.

Billy Strings Winter 2027 tour schedule

Billy Strings' Winter Tour 2027 runs from Thursday, February 4 through Sunday, February 21. The announced itinerary includes five nights in Asheville, two in Duluth and three in Nashville.

*The Ryman Auditorium performance uses a separate FAIR AXS Ticketing Request and is not part of the standard general onsale.

ExploreAsheville.com Arena is the arena inside the Harrah's Cherokee Center - Asheville complex, which is why some ticketing listings may display the broader Harrah's Cherokee Center name.

When is the presale for Billy Strings' Winter 2027 tour?

Presales for Billy Strings' newly announced Winter 2027 dates begin in September 2026, giving fans a chance to shop before the general onsale.

Fans can pre-register now for the Billy Strings artist presale, which begins Wednesday, September 9 at 10 a.m. local time. Registering gives fans access to the artist presale when it opens, ahead of the general public onsale on September 11.

• Artist presale: Wednesday, September 9 at 10 a.m. local time

• Local and Ticketmaster presales: Thursday, September 10 at 10 a.m. local time for applicable shows

When do Billy Strings tour tickets go on sale?

Tickets for the Asheville, Duluth and Bridgestone Arena performances go on sale to the general public on Friday, September 11 at 10 a.m. local time.

The February 21 Ryman Auditorium show is the exception.

To be eligible for the Ryman show, fans must first purchase a ticket to Billy Strings' February 19 or February 20 Bridgestone Arena concert. Eligible purchasers will then receive information about registering for the FAIR AXS Ticketing Request. Purchasing a Bridgestone ticket makes a fan eligible to submit a request but does not guarantee a Ryman ticket.

How does the Billy Strings Ryman Auditorium ticket request work?

The Ryman finale is being treated differently from the rest of the Winter Tour because of the venue's much smaller capacity.

Fans who purchase tickets for at least one of the two Bridgestone Arena performances on February 19 or 20 will be eligible for the FAIR AXS Ticketing Request for the February 21 Ryman show. According to the Ryman, eligible customers will receive instructions by email once registration opens.

That means fans hoping to attend all three Nashville shows should prioritize securing a Bridgestone Arena ticket first rather than waiting for a normal Ryman public onsale.

When does Billy Strings' Winter 2027 tour start?

Billy Strings' Winter Tour 2027 begins Thursday, February 4, 2027 at ExploreAsheville.com Arena in Asheville, North Carolina.

That show kicks off a five-night residency running February 4, 5, 6, 8 and 9, with February 7 serving as an off day.

When does Billy Strings' Winter 2027 tour end?

The tour ends Sunday, February 21, 2027 at Ryman Auditorium in Nashville.

Before the Ryman finale, Strings will perform two consecutive nights at Bridgestone Arena on February 19 and 20.

What to expect at a Billy Strings concert

If you've never seen Billy Strings live, here's what you're walking into: a high-energy, improvisational experience that feels more like a communal gathering than a standard concert. Setlists can change dramatically from night to night, pulling from his original catalog, traditional bluegrass, unexpected covers and extended improvisational jams that keep even longtime fans guessing.

Shows typically run two and a half to three-plus hours, including encores. The production scales with the venue. The experience also changes with the room: the Ryman puts fans unusually close to the band, while larger arena dates give the production and extended jams more room to unfold.
