Aaron Lewis has announced a new slate of 2026 tour dates, extending from January through August with coast-to-coast routing across the Midwest, West Coast, Northeast, and South. The schedule includes stops at major venues such as Seminole Hard Rock Tampa, the Ryman Auditorium, Peppermill Concert Hall, and Billy Bob's Texas, as well as multiple casino resorts across several states.

The official kickoff is scheduled for late January at Downstream Casino Resort in Quapaw, Oklahoma. Additional high-profile stops are expected at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium and Las Vegas's Pearl Theater at Palms Casino Resort, reinforcing the tour's blend of historic halls and modern entertainment destinations.

The tour is presented as Aaron Lewis's solo act with his backing band, The Stateliners, rather than Staind performances. Fifteen new dates are included in this rollout, with a press emphasis on raw honesty, stripped-down storytelling, and unapologetic music that aligns with Lewis's country catalog.

Lewis is recognized for traditional country music and personal lyrics, which Lewis promotes through multimedia coverage of the tour. In particular, he showcases his latest solo release, The Hill, which has already achieved significant streaming success. In fact, he has received a Pandora Billionaires Plaque for exceeding one billion streams.

“The best songs come from a place of authenticity,” explained Lewis. “This one started as a conversation with friends as we picked up items around the room with ‘Made In China' stamped on the bottom. And we put pen to paper.”

The setlist is expected to lean heavily on Lewis's country material while also incorporating a handful of crossover favorites, including "Am I the Only One," "Country Boy," "Endless Summer," and selections from The Hill. A secondary feature accompanies the tour announcement, spotlighting 30 outlaw country songs that helped define the movement.

Staind formed in 1995, went on hiatus in 2012, and reunited in 2019. Their latest album, Confessions of the Fallen, was released in 2023.
