Country Artist Chase Rice is widely known for rocking the stage with his high-energy performances. If you’ve ever attended one of his shows, you are well aware of the intensity he puts out show after show. Over the years, Rice has built a loyal fan base as listeners gravitate towards and related to his music. He released his latest album, Eldora, on his birthday in September 2025, stating: “I believe it’s the best album I’ve ever made.”
The singer-songwriter has spent the past thirteen years consistently touring, but now he’s ready to step back. Rice recently shared on social media that he needs to take a break from the road. While he does have a handful of previously scheduled shows in 2026, he will not be touring at full capacity. Chase did not indicate when he plans to return, so for now, we wish him well and look forward to seeing him back on the road when he’s ready.
Chase Rice’s heartfelt post to fans on his social media:
Alright everybody, I wasn’t sure whether I was gonna talk about this or not but here we are. I’ve been touring for 13 years and I’ve lived a dream far greater than I could’ve ever expected. This isn’t a goodbye thing or anything like that to be clear upfront, although it may feel like that, but I’m exhausted. I haven’t been able to be myself on stage in quite a while and really enjoy music and why I got into it in the first place. I love songs, I love living them, hearing stories from other people, and figuring out how to put that life into music. After 13 years it’s finally beat me up to the point where I need to step away for a while. I need to go live life so that I have more real experiences to write down. I won’t be touring this year and it wasn’t even really a decision, it was something I know that I just have to do for myself. A lot of artists do this all the time, but it’s new for me so it’s kind of a big deal in my life. To my band and crew, I love y’all. You’ve seen me at my worst yet you still love me back like I’ve lived my best. I hope we can all get together in the coming years and get back to enjoying life on the road again. To any fans that have followed me along this journey, I love y’all too, you have truly made a dream of mine come true. I’ve got a handful of shows this year, but it will not look like anything like what I’ve done the last 13 years of my life. I hope this year brings new experiences for me to put into songs that will make y’all happy. Until then, thanks for the ride
