Dierks Bentley’s long-awaited Broken Branches Tour officially enters its final countdown this week. In a recent Instagram post, the country star wrote, “The countdown is ON! One week till the #BrokenBranchesTour kicks off in Austin – new show, new production, and of course, new music too 🔥” (https://www.instagram.com/p/DJ9rFruRD2I/). When the tour opens next Friday at Austin’s Moody Center, fans will witness an immersive new stage design, expanded lighting package, and first glimpses of songs from his forthcoming Broken Branches project.
Tour Kickoff In Austin
Bentley’s Austin debut is set for March 15 at the Moody Center, marking the first stop on a 22-city trek across North America. This will be his biggest Austin show to date, following two sold-out Moody Center concerts in 2019. In early February, he hyped the launch in a post that read, “The #BrokenBranchesTour is nearly here. We kickoff in Austin, TX in ONE MONTH! Who’s ready?” (https://www.instagram.com/p/DJCc_TgxkF3/). Local media reports indicate ticket demand remains high, with VIP packages and fan-club pre-sales already close to selling out.
New Production And Music
Beyond the hits that built his career—like “What Was I Thinkin’” and “Somewhere on a Beach”—Bentley promises a revamped visual experience. Tour rehearsals shared on his TikTok channel show a multi-tiered LED video wall and dynamic stage entrances. He also teased new music: several tracks from his upcoming Broken Branches album will make their live debut in Austin. While Bentley hasn’t announced an official release date, insiders confirm he plans to drop the full album this spring.
Behind The Broken Branches Album
On March 1, Bentley honored his Nashville collaborators and unveiled the album’s tracklist on Instagram, writing, “My whole career has been built alongside a community of other Broken Branches… Slide for the track list!” (#BrokenBranches) (https://www.instagram.com/p/DIfFDZCRO7W/). The 13-song lineup includes cuts co-written with hitmakers like Nicolle Galyon and Luke Laird, plus a surprise duet with fellow CMA Award winner Steven Lee Olsen.
Fan Bundles And Special Guests
To coincide with the tour launch, Bentley rolled out a Super Fan bundle featuring signed vinyl, exclusive merch, and a digital playbook. Limited quantities moved rapidly after the April 1 drop, according to his official store update. He’ll also share the stage with rising acts Zac Top and The Band Loula, who join him for select North American dates. In an Instagram story announcing the lineup, Bentley encouraged followers to “grab your pre-sale code” via his Risers Fan Club before general tickets go on sale this Friday.
As March unfolds, all eyes will be on Austin as the springboard for what’s shaping up to be Bentley’s most ambitious live production yet. From stadium-sized sing-alongs to stripped-down acoustic moments, the Broken Branches Tour aims to honor his country roots while branching out with fresh visuals and tracks. Next up after Austin: Nashville on March 22, followed by Los Angeles and New York later this spring.
Whether you’re a lifelong fan or a newcomer to his catalog, Bentley’s blend of classic anthems and new songwriting promises a memorable night under the lights. Keep an eye on his social channels for on-the-road updates, surprise guests, and behind-the-scenes content as the tour unfolds.
