Tyler Childers is back at Folsom Field in Boulder next year — with more concerts in store

Get ready for a “Snipe Hunt” at Boulder’s Folsom Field next summer.

That’s the name of country star Tyler Childers’ new tour, which is scheduled to visit the roughly 50,000-capacity home of the University of Colorado Buffaloes’ football team on July 18, 2026.

It will be Childers’ second concert at the venue, following an Aug. 17, 2024 show there. That sold-out show, which was part of his Mule Pull ’24 Tour, proved his draw at one of the state’s biggest outdoor venues amid an already sold-out global tour. (Childers also tapped Denver’s Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats to open two tour-ending shows on that largely sold-out tour — though they took place in Washington and Montana, not Colorado.)

Former “Late Show” band leader and Grammy-winning musician Jon Batiste will open the 2026 Folsom show, along with acclaimed indie rock act Wednesday.

An artist pre-sale for Folsom tickets will begin on Wednesday, Dec. 10, according to CU Athletics, which manages the stadium, with a public on-sale starting on Friday, Dec. 12. Fans must sign up for the presale at tylerchildersmusic.com/pages/tour-dates by 10 a.m. on Sunday, Dec. 7. The public on-sale will be available via ticketmaster.com. Prices were not immediately available.

One dollar from each ticket sale will go toward both Hickman Holler Appalachian Relief Fund, which supports philanthropy in the Appalachian Region, and Reverb, which reduces environmental impacts “in live music, (engages) fans and fund(s) carbon impact programs to address the impacts of the tour that cannot be eliminated,” according to a statement.

Childers’ is just the first of several Folsom announcements, CU Athletics said.

“Tyler Childers’ return to Boulder continues a string of stellar concerts at the University of Colorado’s venerable Folsom Field over the last few years, including Dead & Company, Phish, Odesza, John Summit, and more,” officials wrote. “Next year promises to be another busy year for concerts, with more announcements likely after the New Year.”

Folsom Field over last summer’s Fourth of July weekend held Phish’s first-ever run of shows at the venue, following its years of Labor Day concerts at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City.
