Country singer-songwriter Ernest is officially set for a new headline run, the Live From The South Tour, for 2026. The trek will kick off at the start of the next year. The shows will cover the United States and will span more than 20 cities from January through April before wrapping up in Minneapolis.

Ernest has penned multiple hit tracks, including collaborations with Morgan Wallen, Post Malone, and Diplo. His own music, including the 26-track album Nashville, Tennessee, has also gained notable recognition from fans and enthusiasts.

Ernest took to his official Instagram page to announce the 2026 Live From The South Tour, captioning:

"The “Live From The South Tour” is gonna be a night full of sounds from the south. Born and raised in Nashville Tennessee and a lover of the south land… even further south where I find so much inspiration in the Virgin Islands."

The post continued:
