Strait returns to Clemson, 26 years later
Strait will be joined by Cody Johnson and Wyatt Flores.
This night will mark the first concert at Memorial Stadium since 1999, which was also headlined by Strait. Tickets go on sale via Ticketmaster.com at 10 a.m. ET on Friday, Oct. 31.
"Going back to Death Valley for the first time in more than 25 years feels pretty special. Can't wait to see you, Clemson," Strait said.
In 2024, Strait only played a handful of one-off stadium shows including Texas A&M's Kyle Field, playing one of the largest single ticketed concerts in U.S. history with 110,905 fans in attendance for George Strait: The King at Kyle Field. He followed that performance with five live shows in 2025: Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Foxborough, Mass. and Inglewood's SoFi Stadium.
