Two years after they were last on tour, the stars of Nashville will be returning to the UK for a 2026 tour, starting in Newcastle on 6th February, and ending on a newly added date of 16th February in Brighton. Tickets are now on sale from Absolute Radio Tickets.

'The Encore Tour' will see stars Clare Bowen, Charles Esten, Jonathan Jackson and Sam Palladio, performing songs from the hit TV show, along with some of their own original material.

Speaking about her role of Scarlett, Clare Bowen said: "It’s rare that an actor gets to play a dream role like Scarlett for so long. Even rarer to have Nashville's beautiful catalogue of music that we get to continue celebrating with audiences around the world.

"The live shows are an evolution of the series. We meet so many new fans of the TV show on the road, and they’re out there singing right along with those who’ve been with us from the start, and it’s such an honour for us. We have the best fans in the world."

Charles Esten, who plays the role of Deacon Claybourne added: "It’s difficult to describe the depth of feeling I have for the show Nashville, the character Deacon, and the amazing people that I got to work with for those beautiful six years.

"That I get to join with some of them, sing these songs, and bring them to the people who made it all possible - the fans of Nashville - is a blessing I will never take for granted. I can’t wait to do it again!"

The TV show first premiered back in 2012, and lasted six seasons with series finale in 2018. The show inspired a massive 22 soundtracks and has been nominated for many awards over the years.
