TULSA, Okla. (Oct. 6, 2026) — One of country music’s most recognizable voices of the ‘90s, honky-tonk legend Mark Chesnutt makes his return to the Hard Rock Live stage inside Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa on Friday, Jan. 15, 2027, at 8 p.m.

Mark Chesnutt continues to captivate audiences with his signature honky-tonk sound and an impressive catalog of chart-topping hits. Now on his 2025-26 Redemption Tour, Chesnutt returns to the stage with renewed energy following an inspiring personal comeback.

After signing with MCA Nashville in 1989, Chesnutt quickly became one of the decade’s most successful country artists, earning 14 No. 1 singles and 23 Top 10 hits. He has sold more than 12 million albums, earned a CMA Horizon Award and been recognized by Billboard as one of the most-played country artists of the ’90s.

Fans can expect an evening of country classics, including “Bubba Shot the Jukebox,” “Too Cold at Home,” “Brother Jukebox,” “Going Through the Big D,” “It Sure Is Monday,” “It’s a Little Too Late” and “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing.” Throughout his career, Chesnutt has also collaborated with country music legends, including George Jones, Vince Gill, Alison Krauss and Tracy Byrd.

Chesnutt’s current tour marks a new chapter following significant health challenges, including major back surgery, alcoholism and emergency quadruple bypass surgery in 2024. After embracing sobriety and restoring his health, he has returned to touring with a renewed appreciation for performing and a commitment to delivering the strongest shows of his career.

Today, Chesnutt brings the same unmistakable voice and authentic honky-tonk style that made him a country music mainstay while sharing a story of resilience, perseverance and redemption that continues to resonate with fans across generations.
