Australian country artist Wade Forster is heading back to the US next year, this time teaming up with Texas favourites Treaty Oak Revival for a run of select tour dates. The pairing comes after the two acts built a strong connection on Australian soil, where they toured together and shared stages in 2025, including a standout appearance at the brand new Strummingbird Festival, which introduced Treaty Oak Revival to a new wave of local fans.
Forster has been steadily carving out his place as one of Australia’s most exciting and export ready country voices. Loved for his straight-shooting lyrics, rowdy live shows and no-frills approach to songwriting, touring alongside Treaty Oak Revival proved to be a natural fit.
Strummingbird Festival in 2025 marked a major moment in that relationship. Bringing together Australian and US country talent, the festival gave fans a glimpse of how seamlessly Forster’s sound aligned with the Red Dirt energy Treaty Oak Revival are known for back home. The response was immediate, and the idea of taking that partnership stateside quickly followed.
Next year’s US dates will see Forster stepping into Treaty Oak Revival’s home territory in February for the West Texas Degenerate Tour, playing to crowds already primed for honest songwriting and high energy performances. For Forster, it’s another important step in building momentum overseas, following multiple US trips and growing streaming traction across North America.
It’s not going to be Forster’s only US appearances in 2026, he’s also slated to perform at the iconic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN with Shane Smith and the Saints as well as the Two Step Inn Festival in Georgetown, TX headlined by none other than Brooks & Dunn and Chris Stapleton.
Forster has also announced his own headline shows The Aftermath Tour for which tickets are on sale now.
