Rising country star Cooper Alan has announced his first-ever headlining show at Nashville’s legendary Ryman Auditorium, set for March 28, 2026. The performance marks a major milestone in the fast-rising artist’s career, celebrating his journey from small-town roots to one of country music’s most dynamic new voices.
Pre-sale tickets go live on Tuesday, October 21 at 10:00 a.m. CT, followed by general on-sale beginning Wednesday, October 22 at 10:00 a.m. local time at cooperalanmusic.com. Fans can expect Alan’s signature high-energy performance, blending classic country storytelling with rock-driven enthusiasm and a modern edge.
Known for his electric stage presence, Billboard praised that “Alan brought the party with him in a ridiculously high-energy, fun set,” while iHeart Country noted, “Alan is no stranger to throwing a ‘party’ for his live audiences.” His Ryman debut promises to be a night of celebration, connection, and gratitude for fans who’ve followed his rise.
“As a lifelong country music fan, the Ryman has always been a bucket list venue to play,” said Alan. “This is the kind of stuff you dream of when you move to Nashville. It will be such an honor to be in that building and on a stage that’s been rocked by so many of my heroes. So thankful to my fans that have supported me for years to be able to reach this milestone!”
The special performance will also coincide with the release of Alan’s highly anticipated debut album, ‘Winston-Salem,' arriving November 7. The 20-track collection highlights the duality of Alan’s artistry—'Winston' delves into family, fatherhood and homegrown values, while ‘Salem' captures the rowdy, feel-good energy that has defined his sound.
Already drawing critical acclaim, Grammy.com praised Alan as “a pure entertainer in the classic sense,” while PEOPLE declared, “Cooper Alan has had a whirlwind few years, and has only gone up from there.” With his debut album on the horizon and a landmark Ryman show ahead, 2026 is shaping up to be a defining year for one of country’s brightest new stars.
