Jake Worthington is stepping into his own spotlight in 2026 with the newly announced Intent To Tonk Tour, marking one of his first major headline runs in years.
While fans have grown used to seeing him open for Luke Combs, Luke Bryan, HARDY, Parker McCollum and Riley Green, this summer feels different. Worthington is taking center stage in clubs and honky tonks across the country with tickets available from our partners at TicketMaster.
If you’ve been watching his steady climb, this is the moment it shifts.
Tour Overview
The Intent To Tonk Tour kicks off April 2 in Wilmington, North Carolina and runs through June with stops in Chicago, Nashville, Boston, New York and more.
These are barrooms, theaters and true honky tonk rooms. The kind of venues where steel guitars ring louder and the crowd leans in.
Worthington is touring behind his sophomore album When I Write The Song, which earned Album of the Year recognition from Rolling Stone, Billboard, The Boston Globe and others.
Songs like “It Ain’t The Whiskey,” “Hello Shitty Day,” and “I’m The One” have built a reputation for traditional country done without apology.
This headline run also lands in the middle of a stacked year that includes Stagecoach and major stadium support dates.

Jake Worthington has been earning respect the slow way. Real songs. Real rooms. Real country.
These headline shows are not arena capacity. They are intimate. That means fewer tickets and faster sell-through once word spreads.
If you have only seen him as an opener, this is where you get the full set. And in markets like Nashville, Chicago and Texas-adjacent cities, I would not expect tickets to linger long.
How To Prepare for Onsale Day

• Save your payment information in advance

• Join the queue before 10 AM
