Koe Wetzel Announces 45-City The Night Champion World Tour

Pollstar’s “firebrand live sensation” Koe Wetzel returns to the road with the aptly named The Night Champion World Tour, making a stop at the South Okanagan Events Centre in Penticton, BC on Friday, July 10th, 2026. Joining him in Penticton as special guest is Bayker Blankenship.

SOEC Cyber Club presale starts Thursday, March 12 at 10:00 AM PT, with general on sale beginning March 13 at 10:00 AM PT. To join the SOEC Cyber Club for, click HERE.

Known for concerts the East Texas native describes fondly as “total chaos,” Wetzel’s live show has grown from Texas dive bars to sold-out amphitheaters and arenas nationwide, drawing more than 250,000 fans on his 2024 Damn Near Normal Tour alone.

“It’s kind of crazy that I’m not dead or in jail with everything that’s gone on in my life,” Wetzel reflects candidly. “Coming into 2026 and this tour, I feel like I’m the best version of myself I’ve ever been. I survived the night side of me. I’m coming out of it a champion.”

The upcoming tour promises to deliver new tracks like “Surrounded” and “Time Goes On” plus 2025’s most-played song at Country radio, the 3x Platinum, five-week No. 1 hit “High Road” and fan favorites including “February 28, 2016” – with the corresponding Koe Wetzel Day unofficial holiday in the midst of its 10th anniversary celebration this week.

Ahead of the celebration a decade in the making culminating at Koe Wetzel’s Riot Room in Fort Worth this Saturday, Feb. 28, fans are encouraged to join Wetzel’s Community by texting 601-563-9895 for an exclusive announcement to come.
