Produced by Live Nation, the outing consists of a 33-date run spanning the United States and Canada. The tour is designed as a “massive live spectacle,” featuring a setlist of classic anthems and chart-topping hits.
The tour officially kicks off on Friday, June 26, at Empower Field at Mile High in Denver. From there, the duo will hit several major metropolitan hubs, including:
- Detroit
- Chicago

One of the highly anticipated stops includes a performance at AT&T Stadium in Arlington on September 10, 2026. The tour will conclude its North American run on Friday, December 11, at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa.
