(CARTERET, NJ) -- Multi-PLATINUM entertainer Trace Adkins will bring his 30th Anniversary Tour to the URSB Carteret Performing Arts & Events Center on Friday, September 18, 2026, for one night only. The show is part of Adkins' nationwide headline tour celebrating 30 years of chart-topping hits and powerhouse live performances. Showtime is 8:00pm.
Kicking off January 16, 2026, the 24-date tour spans cities across the U.S. and commemorates three decades since Adkins released his PLATINUM-certified debut album Dreamin’ Out Loud. The Carteret performance marks one of the final stops on the first leg of the milestone tour.
Tickets start at $68 and are available for purchase online. Carteret Performing Arts & Events Center is located at 46 Washington Avenue in Carteret, New Jersey.
“I recently read that if you lined up all the Country music artists who ‘break through at all,’ the majority cluster tightly around five to seven years of an active career. Only about 10% have a career spanning 20 years,” shares Adkins. “As I embark on my 30th year of touring, I find myself in the single-digit percentile of artists. I am humbled that my fans and promoters have let me do this for so long. Hope to see you one more time in 2026.”
Known for his commanding baritone and hard-charging live show, Adkins will serve up a crowd-pleasing setlist packed with fan favorites, heartfelt ballads, and other timeless standouts from his hit-packed catalog.
Released in 1996, Dreamin’ Out Loud launched Adkins’ storied career, producing the No. 1 hit “(This Ain’t) No Thinkin’ Thing” and Top 5 single “Every Light in the House.” Since then, he has earned 40 Country radio hit singles, including PLATINUM and multi-PLATINUM classics like “Ladies Love Country Boys,” “You’re Gonna Miss This,” and “Honky Tonk Badonkadonk.”
Following a busy year touring and releasing new music, including his recent holiday single “One More Christmas,” Adkins continues to prove why he remains one of Country music’s most enduring and beloved performers.
