'70s Rock Legend, With Iconic Guitar Solo, Announces Major Update on 2026 Tour

Ted Nugent, an iconic figure in music history, delivered delightful news to his fans amid his ongoing tour.

The 1970s rock legend is making headlines after adding more dates to his Stranglehold 50th Anniversary Tour.

In celebration of his 50 years in the music industry, the award-winning artist expanded the tour schedule, revealing 10 new dates and creating a full-blown summer tour.

Through his post on social media, Nugent is set for a one-night performance in Texas on May 29, followed by a series of additional shows in July, particularly in Missouri, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan and five more concerts in September, which will include cities in Pennsylvania, West Virginia and more.

The 2026 tour kicked off in Missouri on last May 22 and will conclude on Sept. 20 in West Virginia after a 23-date run.

Prior to this, Nugent shared how extremely happy he is for 2026 and declared that this will be his "best year" but "worst" for his enemies.

"I am having the time of my life," the singer-songwriter told The Adam Carolla Show. "Not only is 2026 gonna be the best year in my life, but it's gonna be the worst for my enemies. And I'm not gonna put any energy into pissing off my enemies just by having a good life. It drives them batty. What a dream."
