Rod Stewart remains a major live draw in 2026. According to Caesars Entertainment, the two-time Rock & Roll Hall of Famer has added six more The Encore Shows dates at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas between August 18 and 29, 2026, as part of his extended One Last Time tour.
New 2026 Vegas and U.S. dates in detail
The core of Rod Stewart's current live schedule is his One Last Time tour through the United States and Mexico, combined with an extended Las Vegas residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace. A Caesars Entertainment press release from March 16, 2026, confirms six additional Colosseum shows on August 18, 20, 22, 25, 27 and 29, branded as The Encore Shows and promoted as a continuation of the long-running residency. The announcement lists all six August 2026 Las Vegas dates explicitly.
On Rod Stewart's official tour page, these Las Vegas shows appear as part of the 2026 tour block, following U.S. state fair and amphitheater performances. The site lists an Iowa State Fair appearance in Des Moines on August 14, 2026, and a Morton Amphitheater show in Kansas City, Missouri, on August 15, 2026, before Stewart returns to The Colosseum on August 18 to begin the latest Vegas run. The official tour schedule also extends into September with Minnesota State Fair and Mexican arena dates.
How the 2026 itinerary is structured
The 2026 itinerary mixes theater, amphitheater and festival dates with the casino residency, creating a year-long arc that starts in March and stretches into September. U.S. music site Live For Live Music summarized the first wave of dates in November 2025, listing a March 13 opening at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut, and further April stops in Knoxville, Houston, Rogers and Huntsville. That report also highlighted June shows in Phoenix, Los Angeles, Chula Vista, Morrison and Salt Lake City, plus late-summer arenas and amphitheaters on the East Coast and in the Midwest.
Ticketing overviews compiled by major distributors such as TicketSmarter and SeatGeek mirror this structure, showing a block of western U.S. dates in June 2026, a return to the East Coast around July 31 in Wantagh, New York, and an August 1 show in Virginia Beach, Virginia. They then list Bridgeport, Cincinnati and Cleveland before Stewart heads to the Iowa State Fair in Des Moines and the Kansas City date at Morton Amphitheater. Compared with his 2022 "Global Hits" run, which focused heavily on the UK and Europe, the current schedule is markedly North America-heavy, with European festival appearances limited to isolated shows like Rock in Rio Lisboa and Valencia's Roig Arena in late June.

Where Rod Stewart stands artistically
Rod Stewart's current live production leans heavily on his classic rock and pop catalog while also integrating selections from his more recent work. In German-speaking markets, his compilation Ultimate Hits entered the Official German Albums Chart on July 4, 2025, peaking at number 44 and spending one week on the chart, underlining ongoing catalog demand more than five decades after his first entries in Germany's singles rankings.
Earlier in 2024, Stewart underscored his affinity for swing and traditional pop with the collaborative album Swing Fever alongside pianist and bandleader Jools Holland. That record reached number four on the Official German Albums Chart, according to the chart database, and spent two weeks in the rankings. The contrast between a top-five swing album in 2024 and a mid-chart compilation in 2025 illustrates how effectively Stewart can mobilize sales with fresh studio projects while also keeping his evergreen hits in rotation.
What comes next
As of August 25, 2026, the next officially listed Rod Stewart show is on August 29, 2026, at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, part of The Encore Shows run confirmed by Caesars Entertainment.
