Eric Church is officially extending his latest run of shows into next year. The country star has announced 24 additional stops in 2026 for his Free the Machine Tour, which began earlier this month. The expanded schedule is all set to kick off with two nights at The Anthem in Washington, D.C., on January 22 and 23, 2026.
This newly announced extension follows the release of Eric Church's ninth studio album, Evangeline vs. The Machine, which was released on May 2, 2025. On select dates across the 2026 leg, Eric Church will be joined by Kashus Culpepper, Caylee Hammack, Ella Langley, Ashley McBryde, Stephen Wilson Jr., and 49 Winchester. In addition to these new shows, Church is also continuing his ongoing 2025 run, which features support from Marcus King Band and Charles Wesley Godwin.
