“COWBOYS, ONE LAST TIME…” — George Strait & Brooks & Dunn Ride Into 2026 Farewell Tour
The lights of 2026 are about to blaze brighter than ever, as three of country music’s most enduring names — George Strait, Kix Brooks, and Ronnie Dunn — prepare to take their final bow together. The tour, titled “One Last Ride,” is more than a farewell; it is a homecoming, a victory lap, and a living history lesson wrapped into a single journey across America.
When the stage lights flicker on that first night, Strait will begin where it all started — with “Unwound” (1981–2026), the song that transformed a San Antonio kid into the King of Country. And when Brooks & Dunn charge forward with “Brand New Man” (1991–2026), the crowd will rise, not just to sing along, but to celebrate three decades of anthems that turned rodeos, honky-tonks, and stadiums into sanctuaries of country grit.
But behind the excitement lingers something heavier: this is the last ride. Every note will carry the weight of goodbye. Every lyric will feel like a page torn from the book of country music itself.
Fans already whisper about what might happen on the final night. Will Strait and Brooks & Dunn share the stage for one more unannounced collaboration? Will they bring out surprise guests — legends or heirs to the throne? Or will they save something so intimate, so unforgettable, that it redefines what a farewell in country music can mean?
What is certain is this: the finale promises to go down as one of the greatest farewells in country history. The kind of night people will tell their grandchildren about — where they were, what song played, and how the air itself seemed to carry the weight of an era ending.
For George Strait, this isn’t just another tour. It is the closing of a circle. From dusty Texas dancehalls to sold-out stadiums, he has carried his cowboy code with humility, never chasing trends, always staying true. For Brooks & Dunn, it is the culmination of a partnership that blended fire and steel — two voices so different they shouldn’t have worked, yet together became unstoppable.
“Cowboys, One Last Time” is not just a slogan. It’s a promise. That when the curtain falls, it will fall with dignity, gratitude, and the roar of thousands singing the songs that shaped their lives.
And when the very last chord fades into silence, it will mark more than the end of a tour. It will mark the moment when legends rode together one last time — leaving behind not just music, but a legacy too vast to ever truly say goodbye.
