The Snipe Hunt Tour Finale—Tyler Childers in Portland
Portland has the honor of hosting the final night of Tyler Childers' epic 2026 Snipe Hunt Tour! The four-time Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter will close out his most ambitious tour to date at the Moda Center on Saturday, October 3, 2026. As the tour's grand finale, this Pacific Northwest show promises to be an unforgettable celebration of everything that makes Tyler Childers one of the most compelling artists in American music.
Tour closers are legendary in live music—the culmination of months on the road, the last chance to perfect every song, and an opportunity for artists to leave it all on stage. With his band The Food Stamps and special guests Wednesday and Scott T. Smith, Childers will deliver a Portland performance that sends the Snipe Hunt off in spectacular fashion. If you've been waiting for the right moment to see Tyler Childers live, this is it.
Why Portland for the Tour Finale?
The Pacific Northwest has long been a stronghold for roots music and Americana, and Portland's reputation as a city that embraces authentic, boundary-pushing artists makes it the perfect setting for Tyler Childers' tour finale. The Moda Center—Portland's premier indoor arena with a concert capacity of approximately 20,000—offers the scale and production capabilities befitting a tour-ending celebration.
Located in the Rose Quarter along the Willamette River, Moda Center has hosted everyone from David Bowie (who played the venue's very first concert in 1995) to Taylor Swift, Elton John, and Garth Brooks. Its state-of-the-art "acoustical cloud" of 160 adjustable ceiling panels ensures exceptional sound quality—perfect for capturing every nuance of Childers' intricate arrangements and powerful vocals.
Snipe Hunter—The Album Behind the Tour
The Snipe Hunt Tour supports Tyler Childers' seventh studio album, Snipe Hunter, released July 25, 2025. Produced by Rick Rubin, the album debuted at #7 on the Billboard 200 and earned four nominations at the 68th Grammy Awards: Best Contemporary Country Album, Best Country Song ("Bitin' List"), Best Country Solo Performance ("Nose on the Grindstone"), and Best Country Duo/Group Performance with Margo Price.
The 13-track album weaves together Appalachian folk, outlaw country, psychedelic rock, and global influences including Indian devotional music. Critics have called it "mythic," "restless," and "a damn masterpiece." At the Portland finale, expect Childers to pull out all the stops—deep cuts, fan favorites, extended jams, and perhaps surprises saved specifically for the tour's final bow.

About Tyler Childers
Timothy Tyler Childers was born June 21, 1991, in Lawrence County, Kentucky, deep in Appalachia. Raised along Kentucky's Country Music Highway—home to legends like Loretta Lynn, Dwight Yoakam, and Chris Stapleton—Childers absorbed country and bluegrass traditions from childhood. His father worked in coal; his mother was a nurse.
After learning guitar from his grandfather and writing songs from age 13, Childers achieved his breakthrough with the 2017 album Purgatory, produced by Sturgill Simpson. That earned him the 2018 Americana Music Award for Emerging Artist of the Year. Seven studio albums and seven Grammy nominations later, he's recognized as one of the most important voices in American music. His songs tackle addiction, faith, love, and working-class struggle with unflinching honesty. For news and music, visit TylerChildersMusic.com and follow @TTChilders on X.
What Makes Tour Finales Special?
Tour closing shows carry a unique energy in live music. After months of performances, bands are at their tightest, and artists often take creative risks they might not earlier in a run. There's emotion in the air—gratitude, nostalgia, and the bittersweet feeling of ending a journey. For Tyler Childers, the Portland show represents the culmination of a tour that spanned Europe and crossed North America, from Dallas to Chicago to Boulder to Portland.
Tour finales often feature surprises: rare songs, extended encores, heartfelt speeches, and special guests. If you've never experienced a tour closer, the Moda Center on October 3 is your chance. These are the shows fans talk about for years.
