How Rod Stewart’s 2026 tour is structured
The 2026 itinerary combines a North American arena run, a Las Vegas residency and a late-summer swing through Mexico. A detailed schedule published by a dedicated tour site shows the U.S. leg running from mid-March through mid-August, branded as a continuation of Stewart’s farewell tour One Last Time alongside support acts like Howard Jones and Richard Marx in selected cities. A 2025 tour announcement lists key dates including March 13, 2026 at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut, April 17 at Orion Amphitheater in Huntsville, Alabama, June 10 at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles and June 15 at Red Rocks Amphitheatre near Denver, all promoted as part of the farewell run.
Key dates, residency block and ticket status
Beyond the spring and early-summer arenas, Stewart’s official site and multiple ticketing platforms highlight a mid-year residency dubbed The Encore Shows at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace. The official tour page lists an August 18, 2026 performance in Las Vegas as part of this residency block, while further dates around late August are available through third-party listings, indicating a cluster of shows there before he heads to the Midwest and Mexico. The official tour dates also confirm an August 14, 2026 appearance at the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines, underlining that the residency is embedded within a broader touring schedule rather than standing alone.
