Reigning 2025 CMA Male Vocalist of the Year, Cody Johnson launched The Cody Johnson Live ‘26 Tour over the weekend, with two sold-out shows in Alabama. Building on the momentum, Cody has announced his debut headline UK tour for the autumn of 2026, with shows in Manchester, London, Birmingham, and Glasgow.
Special guest Parker McCollum will join Cody Johnson as main tour support, marking his highly anticipated first performances in the UK and Ireland. With his first four singles topping the charts and an impressive collection of awards already to his name, Parker has quickly risen to country‑music stardom, selling out arenas and major festivals worldwide. Emily Ann Roberts will also join the tour as opening support for all UK dates (except Manchester), bringing her powerhouse vocals and rising start energy to the tour.
Cody Johnson, who “just might be the future of real country music,” continues to live up to those expectations as his reputation and popularity grow among fans, the media, and the music industry. His career now boasts six highly successful albums, including the 2024 CMA Album of the Year, Leather. Among those projects are four RIAA Platinum-selling No.1 radio singles, ‘’Til You Can’t’, ‘The Painter’, ‘Dirt Cheap’ and ‘I’m Gonna Love You’ with Carrie Underwood, numerous Gold and Platinum certifications, and 10 billion global career streams. His current radio hit, ‘The Fall’ from his Leather Deluxe Edition, has more than 150 million streams and is climbing. Last fall, Cody released a studio version of his fan-favorite ‘Travelin’ Soldier’ which debuted at No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart, becoming the highest-charting song of his career.
In 2025, Cody sold an impressive 400,000 concert tickets and landed on Billboard’s Top 100 Tours list. Last year’s tour took him to exciting places like Australia, New Zealand, and Europe, and across the U.S., including two back-to-back sold-out shows at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena. The Tennessean called ‘the evening’s biggest superstar’ Johnson’s voice and said, ‘As a crooner, Johnson may have one of the underrated best vocal styles in music overall. When he grounds his feet and sets his mind to it, he unleashes a stunning instrument that leaves his crowd in awe.’
His industry awards and honors include recognition as a CMT Artist of the Year, four CMA Awards, two ACM Awards, plus the ACM Honors Spirit Award, three CMT Music Awards, and being named “Best New Country Artist” at the iHeart Music Awards. His television appearances have entertained fans on the Today Show, the Kelly Clarkson Show, and the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, in addition to outstanding live tv performances at the iHeart Music Awards, the ACM Awards, CMA Awards, CMT Music Awards, CMT Giants honoring Vince Gill, and the CMT Artist of the Year Special. Last summer, Cody co-hosted the three-hour CMA Fest Presented by Sofi with Ashley McBryde.
