Kick off 2026 with an amazing concert

A Stroll Down Memory Lane in the Capital Region
Believe it or not, this January show marks at least the sixth time Rascal Flatts will perform in the area—including Albany and Saratoga Springs. Their past visits include:
-
November 2006 – Pepsi Arena (Albany): The Me and My Gang Tour, featuring a then-rising Taylor Swift.
-
January 2008 – Times Union Center (Albany): Part of their Still Feels Good Tour.
-
January 2012 – Times Union Center (Albany): During the Thaw Out Tour.
-
August 2014 – Saratoga Performing Arts Center (SPAC): Summer concert—well-received and full of the hits fans know and love.
-
July 2018 – SPAC, again: A packed summer night of Flatts favorites.
So this appearance brings things full circle—Albany is no stranger to their soundtrack, and this tour adds another chapter to that story.
What to Expect
Expect an energetic night packed with their greatest hits—songs like “Bless the Broken Road,” “Fast Cars and Freedom,” and, of course, “Life Is A Highway.” With Chris Lane and Lauren Alaina supporting, you're in for a night of top-tier country entertainment.
