by | Jun 10, 2025

They’re back! The beloved cast of the hit TV series Nashville have announced their return to UK stages for the Nashville In Concert – Encore Tour, riding into major cities across the country in February 2026.

The news broke yesterday, sending longtime fans into a flurry of excitement as they prepare to welcome back some of their favourite on-screen (and real-life) country stars for what promises to be an unforgettable run of shows. The tour reunites key cast members Charles Esten (Deacon Claybourne), Clare Bowen (Scarlett O’Connor), Jonathan Jackson (Avery Barkley), and Sam Palladio (Gunnar Scott)—all of whom became breakout music stars through the show’s six-season run.

Nashville, the drama that combined Southern storytelling with original songs, first aired in 2012 and wrapped in 2018. But the music—and the fandom—never faded. After multiple sold-out UK tours between 2016 and 2018, the Encore Tour marks the cast’s long-awaited return to UK stages.

Expect emotional duets, stripped-back acoustic moments, and singalong hits from the show’s soundtrack, as well as solo material from the cast’s individual music careers. Speaking about the upcoming shows, Charles Esten said: “We’ve missed these shows—and we’ve missed our UK fans even more. The love and energy we get when we play in the UK is just unmatched. We can’t wait to get back out there.”

What sets Nashville In Concert apart from other TV show reunions is its authenticity. The cast are real musicians with serious songwriting chops—and their live shows are far more than just a tribute to the series. From Bowen’s ethereal vocals and Palladio’s multi-instrumental finesse, to Esten’s crowd-commanding charisma and Jackson’s emotive power, it’s an electrifying mix of talent that continues to resonate with fans worldwide.

Expect powerful performances of A Life That’s Good, Sanctuary, Fade Into You and more—as well as surprises from their solo releases.
