One Last Ride: Chris & Morgane Stapleton’s 2026 Tour – A Soulful Send-Off Reviving Country’s Core
The fiddle’s final bow is drawing near, but the fire’s just igniting. On November 3, 2025, from a fog-shrouded Kentucky barn lit by lantern glow 2025, Chris Stapleton, 47, and wife Morgane, 42, announced One Last Ride Tour 2026 – a 60-date heartland odyssey breathing revival into country’s spirit. “We’ve poured our souls into these songs for two decades,” Chris rumbled in a trailer thick with twang and tears. “This ride’s windin’ down – but we’re gallopin’ out with gratitude.” Not farewell’s fade, but faith’s flame: a soul-stirring spectacle where the Stapletons hand the reins to harmony’s heirs. Fans? Frenzied – #StapletonLastRide rocketing with 50 million posts, presales sparking stampedes.
Chris & Morgane: Country’s power duet, grit and grace entwined. From Chris’s coal-mine baritone – “Tennessee Whiskey” healer, 22M albums – to Morgane’s ethereal harmonies, they’ve redefined roots: Traveller triumphs, Jamaica aid drops, diner surprises. At 47 and 42, post-Alzheimer’s advocacy echoes and All-American Halftime hype, they bow out in 2025’s redemption roar – Vince’s rides, P!nk’s phoenix, halftime thunder. “Family’s our chorus,” Morgane beamed, kids waving from hay bales. “Y’all? The verse we live for.”
The tour? Setlists soaked in sweat and scripture. Launching April 3 in Lexington, KY (home turf nod), thundering through Nashville, Chicago, Denver, Austin, and a July 4 finale in DC. Nights weave eras: Opener “Whiskey and You” acoustic weepies. Core: “Broken Halos” choir swells, Morgane leading “You Are My Sunshine” redux. Climax: New track “Eternal Ride,” a gospel-grit goodbye. Guests? Vince Gill six-string sermons, Miranda Lambert fire, surprise sanctuary pups trotting “Parachute.”
Stagecraft? Revival raw. Arenas to outdoor amphitheaters, barn-set intimacy: hay-bale seating, lantern chandeliers, fire-pit encores. Eco-twist: solar amps, recycled rigs. Intimate “Porch Moments”: Stapletons unplugged, sharing unfiltered – addiction arcs, parenthood prayers. VIP “Harmony Huddles”: fans join backups.
Dates & cities? A heartland heartbeat. Key stops: April 3 Lexington; May 10 Nashville (Ryman residency); June 14 Chicago; July 4 DC (fireworks finale). Full list drops November 10 via stapletonfan.com. Tickets? Presale November 7 for Outlaw members; general November 12. $89-$789, with “Grace Giveaway” – free seats for first responders.
This ride? 2025’s roots resurrection. Amid rival halftimes, phoenix flips – Stapletons remind: country’s not charts; it’s chords of compassion. Erika Kirk: “Their ride roads our Halftime – soul’s the super bowl.” Album tie-in? Last Ride Reverie (March drop), live cuts included.
When barns blaze April 2026, breaths bow – then bellow. Chris: “Y’all carried us – now let’s ride eternal.” No dry eyes in Kentucky. Grab tickets, hug kin – this ride’s righteous. Stapletons didn’t redefine country. They re-souled it. The mountain calls, but the melody? Immortal.
