George Strait.
George Strait will return to Clemson, South Carolina’s Memorial Stadium for one night only, in-the-round on May 2, 2026. Strait will be joined by Cody Johnson and Wyatt Flores.
The performance will mark the first concert at Memorial Stadium since 1999, which was also headlined by Strait. Tickets go on Oct. 31.
“Going back to Death Valley for the first time in more than 25 years feels pretty special,” he shares. “Can’t wait to see you, Clemson!”
In 2024, Strait played a few one-off stadium shows including A&M’s Kyle Field, marking one of the largest single ticketed concerts in U.S. history with 110,905 fans in attendance. He followed that with five live shows in 2025 with stops in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Foxborough and Inglewood’s SoFi Stadium.
In addition to this show, Strait will be celebrated at the 47th Annual Kennedy Center Honors this December. Early next year, he will also be inducted into the Texas Songwriters Hall of Fame.
