If life is a highway, then get ready to ride it all night long with Rascal Flatts, as the country superstars add new 2026 dates to their Life Is a Highway Tour.
On the heels of their sold-out return to touring this year, country music icons Rascal Flatts will hit the road again for their LIFE IS A HIGHWAY TOUR and will make a stop at Tampa’s Benchmark International Arena, formerly known as AMALIE Arena, on Friday, Feb. 13, 2026 at 7 pm.
The Live Nation-produced, 21-stop trek will bring “the harmonies and charisma that made them one of the biggest country groups” (American Songwriter) to fans nationwide. Fellow country stars Lauren Alaina and Chris Lane will continue to support the trio across this new run.
The tour will also offer a variety of different VIP packages and experiences for fans to take their concert experience to the next level. Packages vary and may include premium tickets, invitation to the Rascal Flatts VIP Lounge, autographed tour posters, VIP exclusive gift items and more. For more information, visit vipnation.com.
“What a ride the past year has been! We’re so excited to continue this tour, the response we’ve received from everyone has been overwhelming and humbling,” said Jay DeMarcus. “We’ve truly had such a blast over the past year getting back in front of our fans out on the road, and we thought, ‘Why not keep the party going?’”
Tickets for the show in Tampa on February 13 are on sale now.

“Celebrating their 25th anniversary as if no time had passed at all,” (Billboard), Rascal Flatts made their historic return to the spotlight this year for the first time since 2019, commemorating the milestone with capacity crowds nationwide grooving to their iconic two decades-spanning catalog of hits. “Rascal fans who wanted to party were no doubt satisfied,” (Arkansas Times). The country stars’ “nostalgic” setlist – including fan favorites “Me and My Gang,” “Fast Cars And Freedom,” “Life Is A Highway” and more – has every arena, fair and festival singing along night after night, with the trio putting concertgoers into “a state of energetic euphoria," with their headlining set at CMA Fest praised for receiving “the most robust sing-along yet of CMA Fest's Nissan Stadium shows," (The Tennessean).
Rascal Flatts released their much-anticipated LIFE IS A HIGHWAY: REFUELED DUETS collaboration album earlier this summer, praised as "a bold, celebratory reimagining of the band’s storied back catalogue" (Entertainment Focus). The project features nine reimagined, beloved Rascal Flatts hits – including the “immediate bestseller” (Forbes) reimagination of “What Hurts The Most” with Backstreet Boys – as well as their record-breaking new track, “I Dare You” with Jonas Brothers. The trio “sensibly allow a string of pop, rock and country vocalists to change the oil, whilst they rest easy on a backseat built on their trusted formula of honeyed vocals and major key chirpiness,” (Holler) creating all-new arrangements of timeless hits from their acclaimed catalogue.
