Lee Brice gave country fans something to get excited about this week. He wrapped a run of Sunriser Tour dates in Canada, and now he’s hinting on Instagram that a U.S. leg might be next.
As of May 9, 2026, no official U.S. dates have been confirmed. Country fans are paying attention, though. The phrasing is casual and a little playful, and it’s hard to read as anything other than a deliberate tease. Brice chose those words, and he chose that emoji. Fans hoping for domestic dates are taking it as a good sign.
The Sunriser Tour has kept Brice busy on the road, and based on this post, the Canada shows were a real highlight. He kept the details vague. But the energy behind that caption is hard to miss.
Canada has grown into a strong market for country music over the past decade. Major artists regularly add Canadian legs to their tours, and the audiences there tend to be vocal and passionate. Brice came away raving about it. That enthusiasm is hard to fake.
Brice has been one of country music’s steadiest presences for well over a decade. His breakthrough came with “Hard to Love.” That song hit country radio hard and stayed there. It helped establish him as an artist with real staying power. “I Drive Your Truck” built on that connection further. Both songs are emotional and lived-in. Audiences tend to know them by heart long before the encore.
He’s built a loyal following over the years. His fans travel to see him, show up early, and stick around after the set. A U.S. run of the Sunriser Tour would give that fanbase exactly what it’s been asking for.
There’s still nothing official. No cities or venues have been named, and no dates are on sale yet. But the way Brice worded that post, it doesn’t sound like he’s still deciding. It sounds like the plan is forming and the announcement is coming.
Canada is a solid indicator. The Sunriser Tour has a lot of road left in it, and American audiences are going to want their turn.
