H2: Detroit show details
Chris Stapleton will return to Ford Field on Aug. 8, 2026, for a headline appearance on his All-American Roadshow. Promoters announced that country superstar Lainey Wilson will join Stapleton for the Detroit date. Allen Stone is billed as the opening act.
The announcement follows other major Ford Field concert reveals this week, including Bruno Mars, and joins previously announced 2026 stadium stops by Foo Fighters and Ed Sheeran.
H2: Tickets and presale information
Tickets for the Ford Field concert go on sale Jan. 16 through Ticketmaster. Pre-sales begin Jan. 13 at 10 a.m. for Citi card holders, Verizon customers and members of Stapleton’s fan club. Fans should check Ticketmaster and the artists’ official channels for seat maps, pricing and accessibility info.
H3: What to expect at the show
Stapleton’s All-American Roadshow blends his signature country-soul — think “Tennessee Whiskey” — with rootsy and rock-leaning arrangements. Lainey Wilson, a chart-topping country star known for songs like “Watermelon Moonshine,” brings high-energy stagecraft that complements Stapleton’s deep-voiced set.
Ford Field will host a large-scale production suitable for stadium audiences, with room for full-band arrangements and extensive lighting and video elements. The pairing of Stapleton and Wilson signals a set that will appeal to traditional country fans and more mainstream festival crowds alike.
H2: Tour snapshot
The Detroit date is one of nine stadium stops across Stapleton’s 24-city tour. Other confirmed stadium and major-venue dates include Nashville (Nissan Stadium), Tampa (Raymond James Stadium), Charlotte (Bank of America Stadium) and Boston (Fenway Park).

H2: Why this matters to Detroit music fans
Stapleton has a strong Detroit history, having headlined Comerica Park in 2022 and shared a bill at Ford Field in 2024. Wilson previously performed at Ford Field in 2023 opening for Luke Combs. Their return engagements underscore Detroit’s appeal as a stop on major touring routes and add another large-scale summer concert for local fans.
H3: How to prepare
Sign up for Ticketmaster alerts, register for any artist fan-club presales, and confirm Citi or Verizon presale eligibility to get early access. Expect a typical stadium show checklist: arrive early, review venue policies, and plan for traffic and parking around Ford Field.
