America are back on the road, and founding member Dewey Bunnell is carrying the torch with unmistakable resolve. The 2026 “Happy Trails Tour” expands with a significant run of North American dates, following fellow co-founding member Gerry Beckley’s retirement from touring in early 2024. Bunnell addressed the change directly: “After 53 years sharing the stage together and an everlasting, great friendship, I will miss Gerry immensely on the road in 2026, but wish him all the best in his future endeavors. America will be taking the show back on the road this spring and I’m looking forward to a great year.”
The routing is extensive and hits some genuinely iconic rooms. The run includes a stop at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville on May 28, Massey Hall in Toronto on June 25, The Chicago Theatre on June 27, and the Paramount Theatre in both Seattle and Denver in June. The tour also takes in the 70s Rock & Romance Cruise out of Fort Lauderdale in late March, spanning both coasts and Canada through the spring and summer.
For over five decades, America’s catalog has proven remarkably durable. Songs like “A Horse With No Name,” “Ventura Highway,” and “Sister Golden Hair” have connected with generation after generation, and Bunnell’s commitment to bringing that music to audiences in 2026 speaks to the enduring power of what this band built together.
