The wide-ranging headline run gets underway with a two-night stand at Durham, NC’s DPAC on April 24-25, 2026 and then travels North America through early October. Highlights include shows at such historic venues as Vienna, VA’s Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts (July 16), two-night stands at Shipshewana, IN’s Blue Gate Performing Arts Center (June 9-10) and Bonner, MT’s KettleHouse Amphitheater (August 20-21), and a three-night residency at Nashville, TN’s famed Ryman Auditorium (September 18-20).
Support on most dates comes from Theo Lawrence, with The Cox Family appearing as special guests at Shreveport, Louisiana’s Shreveport Municipal Auditorium on April 29. In addition, Alison Krauss & Union Station Featuring Jerry Douglas are set for a number of top-billed festival appearances, including Wilkesboro, NC’s MerleFest (April 26) and Cumberland, MD’s DelFest (May 24).
Artist Presales for all Arcadia 2026 Tour headline dates begin Tuesday, December 9 at 10:00 am (local). Local Presales start Thursday, December 11 at 10:00 am (local).

Alison Krauss & Union Station Featuring Jerry Douglas are thrilled to be joined by new touring member Jacob Burleson, a Nashville-based multi-instrumentalist who has gained renown for his work with such ensembles as Volume Five, East Nash Grass, Bronwyn Keith-Hynes, the Jason Carter Band, and Appalachian Roadshow.
The upcoming dates follow Alison Krauss & Union Station’s hugely successful Arcadia 2025 Tour, a sold-out headline run that marked the legendary group’s first tour together in over a decade. The marathon tour – which saw the live debut of award-winning vocalist and guitarist Russell Moore among the esteemed ranks of Union Station – was met by critical applause across the United States and Canada, with The Dallas Observer declaring, “Alison Krauss and Union Station provided an embarrassment of riches… (their) performance was simply a peerless collection of artists doing what they do best, conjuring an alchemy so transporting that time almost becomes irrelevant.”
The Arcadia 2025 Tour celebrated the arrival of Alison Krauss & Union Station’s eighth studio LP and first new release in over 14 years, Arcadia, available everywhere now via Down The Road Records. Self-produced by Alison Krauss & Union Station, the album collects ten new songs that transcend time, reveal beautiful and tragic truths, and serve as contemporary reflections of history, penned by Robert Lee Castleman, Viktor Krauss, Jeremy Lister, Bob Lucas, JD McPherson, Sarah Siskind, and other modern masters. With new member Russell Moore – frontman for the chart-topping group IIIrd Tyme Out and the International Bluegrass Music Association’s most awarded male vocalist of all time – on co-lead vocals, guitar, and mandolin, Krauss (fiddle, lead vocal), Jerry Douglas (Dobro, lap steel, vocals), Ron Block (banjo, guitar, vocals), and Barry Bales (bass, vocals) once again bring their extraordinary individual talents together into a singularly unstoppable force. Highlighted by songs like “Looks Like the End of the Road” and “Granite Mills,” Arcadia further expands the immaculately crafted, endlessly surprising sound that Alison Krauss & Union Station have long been known and loved for, reaffirming why the group remains one of the most influential, widely celebrated acts of the past four decades.

Arcadia – which like its 2011 predecessor, Paper Airplane, debuted at #1 on Billboard’s “Top Bluegrass Albums” chart upon its March release – was greeted with worldwide critical praise along with three 2026 GRAMMY® Award nominations for Best Bluegrass Album, Best American Roots Performance (honoring the standout track, “Richmond on the James”), and Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical. “Arcadia reconvenes and reconfigures a band that has transformed the sound of modern bluegrass by constantly drawing new subtleties from old-time roots,” wrote the New York Times. “Union Station can easily muster the quick-fingered virtuosity required for upbeat, foot-stomping bluegrass tunes that punctuate its albums and live sets. But what makes the band so distinctive is its quietly incandescent restraint: the hushed concentration it summons behind Krauss’s pristinely melancholy soprano, which can sound haunted even when she sings about true love.” “As ever, the sonic palette is richly clean, the harmonies stacked, and Jerry Douglas’s Dobro an empathetic, keening presence in constant dialogue with the singers,” declared MOJO in its four-starred rave. “(Krauss’s) plaintive, crystalline soprano alternating songs with Moore’s high lonesome tenor evokes what D.H. Lawrence memorably called ‘the essential American soul… hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer.’” In addition, Alison Krauss & Union Station recently sat down with CBS News’ Anthony Mason for an exclusive CBS Mornings feature interview discussing Arcadia, their long-awaited reunion, and more (streaming HERE).
