A new year means a whole new Green Bay concert calendar to get stoked about, and while a certain “Beer Never Broke My Heart” country singer with a stadium tour has the two biggest dates, there’s plenty of other shows already on the books that point to an entertaining year ahead.
From country and Americana to shock rock and pop parody, here’s 15 of them in 2026 at venues large and small.
Shaun Cassidy: Feb. 17 at Meyer Theatre
His cover of “Da Doo Ron Ron” was a roller skating rink staple, he starred alongside fellow Teen Beat heartthrob Parker Stevenson on TV’s “The Hardy Boys” and his mom is Shirley Jones of “The Partridge Family.” How’s that for 1970s nostalgia at its finest? Pony up for a $197 VIP ticket and the perks include an “I Love Shaun” temporary tattoo, a group Q&A and a “Shaun Cassidy My First Crush” wine koozie. $64.75-$88; ticketstaronline.com.
Trisha Yearwood: March 14 at Meyer Theatre
That’s a mighty big name in Green Bay’s coziest concert venue, which is why it sounds like it has all the makings for an exceptional night. The celebrated country singer as both a solo artist and frequent collaborator with husband Garth Brooks is making a stop on The Mirror Tour: An Intimate Acoustic Evening of Stories and Songs – her first time back in Green Bay since playing the Weidner in 2002. Sold out.
Hardy: March 19 at Resch Center
If you’re a Hardy fan, what could be better than having him back at the Resch Center for another headlining tour? How about it being the first U.S. stop of the tour? The acclaimed country singer-songwriter who headlined the Resch Center in November 2023 with The Mockingbird & The Crow Tour, with a little help from a fast-rising star by the name of Lainey Wilson, returns for The Country! Country! Tour! with guests Cameron Whitcomb and McCoy Moore. Never forget he once played the patio at Stadium View Sports Bar. $51 and up; ticketstaronline.com.
Horseshoes & Hand Grenades: March 27 at Meyer Theatre
Hey, remember when Horseshoes & Hand Grenades played the Meyer Theatre’s late, great Near Water Concert Series for the first time as a $10-a-ticket emerging act? That’s soon to be 12 years and and eight albums ago for the high-energy Americana band that got its start at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point. Adam Greuel, David C. Lynch, Collin Mettelka, Russell Pedersen and Samual Odin will celebrate 15 years as a band and the forthcoming Jan. 16 release of “Living Room,” a 13-track album they recorded in Greuel’s living room in the hill country of Wisconsin. $42; ticketstaronline.com.
Bailey Zimmerman: April 17 at Resch Center
Country music fans on a budget had some hard choices to make this fall when the 2026 Resch Center concert announcements started coming one after another, but no need for Bailey Zimmerman to worry they wouldn’t show up for him. Just two albums into his young career, the former meat processing plant worker from Louisville, Illinois who launched his career on TikTok is already an arena headliner with his Different Night Same Rodeo Tour. Only a smattering of tickets remain. $35 and up: ticketstaronline.com.
The Rock Orchestra by Candelight: April 19 at The Weidner
If you ever wanted to bust out the headbanging and the sign of the horns during an orchestral concert, here’s your chance. The touring production boasts 14 classical musicians performing the music of Metallica, AC/DC, Papa Roach, Guns N’ Roses, Rage Against the Machine and other metal and rock acts – some instrumentals, some with vocals and all with hundreds of LED candles and other eerily beautiful effects. $76.63-$165.24; weidnercenter.com.
Alter Bridge: May 5 at EPIC Event Center
After getting a voracious reception for his opening set for Wolfgang Van Halen’s Mammoth at EPIC in November, expect more of the same when Myles Kennedy returns to the venue with his own band for the What Lies Within Tour. The stop, with openers Filter and Tim Montana, is in support of the riff-heavy rock quartet’s self-titled eighth studio album due out on Jan. 9. $56.93-$108.51; etix.com.
Marilyn Manson: May 10 at EPIC Event Center
It’s an event whenever shock rocker Marilyn Manson hits your town … even if it is on Mother’s Day. Green Bay made the list for an eight-city round of U.S. dates beginning in April. The shock rocker is still touring behind his November 2024 album, “One Assassination Under God – Chapter 1,” and he’ll head to Europe in July to keep all that dark energy going strong. Death-pop duo VOWWS opens. $85.81-$147.71; on sale at 10 a.m. Dec. 19; etix.com.
Luke Combs: May 15-16 at Lambeau Field
Seven years since Lambeau Field last hosted a concert, and it’s getting two by one act in 2026. Combs will make Green Bay history as the first performer to play back-to-back nights at the stadium for his My Kinda Saturday Night Tour. Something tells us he’s up for the challenge. The two-time Country Music Association Entertainer of the Year with a stack of beer-drinkin’ songs became the highest Recording Industry Association of America-certified country artist in history in October with 168 million units sold.
He’s bringing along Dierks Bentley, Ty Myers, Jake Worthington and Thelma & James to assure it’s an all-out party, Lambeau tailgating and all. It’s the biggest event of the summer, even though it’ll technically still be spring, which reminds us, is it too early to start checking the forecast?…
