About The Snipe Hunt Tour
Tyler Childers’ seventh studio album, Snipe Hunter, arrived July 25, 2025 on Hickman Holler Records/RCA Records and anchors his 2026 touring. The 13-track record blends country, bluegrass, folk, gospel, and psychedelia with Appalachian storytelling.
It debuted at #7 on the all-genre Billboard 200, #1 on Americana/Folk Albums, and #2 on Top Country Albums. Childers also earned his first Grammy for “Bitin’ List”, with additional nominations for Best Contemporary Country Album and Best Country Solo Performance for “Nose On The Grindstone.”
The tour features a rotating cast of support acts, including Wednesday, Jon Batiste, Evan Honer, and Scott T. Smith, each tied to specific dates. Two June 2026 shows, June 10 at Darien Lake Amphitheater and June 11 at Hersheypark Stadium, moved to August 13 and 14, 2026 as Childers and his wife, singer-songwriter Senora May, prepared to welcome their second child.

What To Expect At A Snipe Hunt Tour Show
According to setlist.fm, Tyler Childers’ Snipe Hunt Tour sets average about one hour and fifty-five minutes. Some sources report closer to one hour and fifty minutes. Shows often open with “Eatin’ Big Time,” the first track on Snipe Hunter.
A recurring feature is a mid-set acoustic B-stage segment. There, Childers performs stripped-down versions of “Lady May,” “Nose on the Grindstone,” and “Follow You to Virgie,” sometimes solo and sometimes as a trio with CJ Cain and Jesse Wells. His backing band, The Food Stamps, appears throughout the set and on his studio recordings.
Per setlist.fm’s Snipe Hunt Tour album statistics, setlists draw most heavily from Snipe Hunter (16 songs), followed by Purgatory (9) and Country Squire (3). Covers vary by city. The Hershey show included Sammy Davis Jr.’s “Candyman” for band introductions, while Childers covered the Goo Goo Dolls’ “Iris” at the August 13 Darien Lake show, nodding to the band’s Buffalo, NY roots. The Wrigley Field date featured a custom South Park–themed Cithara electric guitar.
Each ticket sold on the Snipe Hunt Tour includes a $1 donation split between the Hickman Holler Appalachian Relief Fund (HHARF) and REVERB. REVERB is a 501c3 environmental nonprofit founded in 2004 that partners with musicians, festivals, and venues to reduce the carbon footprint of touring and engage fans on environmental and social issues.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why Were The June 10 And June 11 Snipe Hunt Tour Shows Postponed?
Tyler Childers postponed his June 10, 2026 show at Darien Lake Amphitheater in Darien Center, NY, and his June 11, 2026 show at Hersheypark Stadium in Hershey, PA, because he and his wife, singer-songwriter Senora May, were preparing to welcome their second child. The announcement came through Hickman Holler Hunting Club, Childers’ official Instagram account for information and updates, the day before the Darien Lake show.
Both concerts were rescheduled, with Darien Lake moving to August 13 and Hersheypark Stadium to August 14, and Evan Honer remaining on the bill for each date. Existing tickets were honored, and fans unable to attend had 30 days to request refunds through their original point of purchase.
Who Are The Support Acts On The Snipe Hunt Tour?

Smith, as well as the June 10 Darien Center and June 11 Hershey dates, which later moved to August 13 and 14, 2026.
