Classic rock mainstays America have unveiled their 2026 touring plans, announcing a Happy Trails Tour that will take the band across North America this spring and early summer with more than 20 stops on the itinerary.

Keeping the Spirit of Classic Rock Alive
Formed in the late 1960s and best known for timeless hits like “A Horse With No Name,” “Ventura Highway,” and “Sister Golden Hair,” America helped define a melodic, harmony-rich brand of folk-rock that resonated across generations. With Beckley now retired from the road, Bunnell has shouldered the touring mantle, maintaining the band’s presence onstage while honoring its legacy.
The Happy Trails Tour continues that legacy, offering fans a chance to hear the band’s classic catalog live and reaffirming America’s enduring place in rock history more than half a century after their debut.
Concertgoers can anticipate a setlist filled with classics from America’s catalog, spotlighting the warm harmonies, intricate acoustic guitars, and breezy melodies that have become synonymous with the band’s sound. The cruise stop in Fort Lauderdale also adds a unique twist to the tour, blending performance with a rock-themed vacation experience.
With additional dates likely to be announced in the coming weeks, the Happy Trails Tour is shaping up as one of America’s most fully realized touring efforts in years — a chance for longtime fans to reconnect with a band whose music has soundtracked countless memories and road trips.
