About Wheeler Walker Jr. and the Pullin' Out Farewell Tour

Wheeler Walker Jr. is the satirical-but-deadly-serious country project that took the Nashville establishment to task starting in 2016 with the cult-favorite debut Redneck Shit. Over six studio albums recorded with Grammy-winning producer Dave Cobb, Wheeler has built a reputation as country music's last real outlaw -- raw lyrics, classic-country instrumentation, and a complete refusal to sand off any of the edges that mainstream radio would never touch. Plenty of background on the project can be found on his Wikipedia page.

The 2026-27 run, dubbed the Pullin' Out: The Farewell Tour, marks the end of the road. The new album Pullin' Out drops September 25, 2026, and the tour kicks off October 15 in Grand Rapids at the Intersection. From there it threads through some of the most beloved theaters and clubs in American music -- the Roxian in Pittsburgh, The Fillmore in Detroit, the Egyptian Room in Indianapolis, House of Blues in Boston, the Agora in Cleveland, The National in Richmond, the Troubadour in West Hollywood, the Roseland in Portland, First Avenue in Minneapolis, and the storied Ryman Auditorium in Nashville on May 15, 2027 for the final show.

Producer Dave Cobb has shaped every Wheeler Walker Jr. record going back to Redneck Shit, and the partnership continues on the new album. Fans should expect classic-country production -- pedal steel, fiddles, plenty of twang -- paired with the unmistakable Wheeler songwriting style. Setlists across the tour are being tracked on setlist.fm, where fans have been logging every show since the run began. Expect a mix of cuts from the new record alongside fan favorites that built the legend.

Coverage of the announcement has spanned everywhere from Concert Addicts to Parade and beyond. Multiple outlets have noted that this is genuinely the end -- Wheeler has been clear that Pullin' Out is the last album and the farewell tour is the last tour. After May 15, 2027, the Wheeler Walker Jr. project is over for good.

Tour stops include venues across nearly every region of the country. Headline rooms on the schedule include The Sylvee in Madison, The Fillmore in Detroit, the Egyptian Room at Old National Centre in Indianapolis, Citizens House of Blues in Boston, the Agora Theatre in Cleveland, the Marquee Theatre in Tempe, the Troubadour in West Hollywood, Treefort Music Hall in Boise, Roseland Theater in Portland, First Avenue in Minneapolis, and the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville for the closer. With 45-plus dates on the books, every region of the country gets at least one shot at the farewell.
