Chris Stapleton's All-American Road Show comes to the North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre in Chula Vista on Friday, July 10, 2026 at 7:30 p.m. — an open-air summer night of soulful, blues-tinged country from one of the most acclaimed voices in modern music, with bluegrass star Molly Tuttle as special guest.
It's one of the marquee concerts of San Diego's summer — and it's perfect for country and Americana fans, anyone who loves a powerhouse live vocalist, and concertgoers who want a warm-weather night under the open sky at the region's biggest outdoor amphitheater.
The night is headlined by Chris Stapleton, an eight-time Grammy winner known for a voice that bridges country, blues, soul, and rock, and for live shows built around raw musicianship rather than spectacle. His set draws on hits like "Tennessee Whiskey," "Broken Halos," and "Starting Over."
Opening the show is Molly Tuttle, the Grammy-winning guitarist and bluegrass innovator whose virtuosic flatpicking and acclaimed work with her band Golden Highway have made her one of the most exciting acts in Americana. It's a pairing that leans into the road show's roots-music heart.
The All-American Road Show is known for its no-frills, music-first approach — a tight band, a commanding vocal, and a setlist that moves between foot-stomping rockers and aching ballads. On a warm July night in an open-air bowl, it's about as good as a summer concert gets.
On a typical night at the amphitheater:
Friday, July 10, 2026 — showtime 7:30 p.m.
Location: North Island Credit Union Amphitheatre, 2050 Entertainment Circle, Chula Vista, CA 91911.
The amphitheater sits in Chula Vista, just south of central San Diego, with easy freeway access and plenty of surrounding parking. Its open-air design, tiered seating, and large lawn make it the go-to venue for big summer tours in the region.
A Lexington, Kentucky native, Stapleton moved to Nashville and built his early career as one of the most sought-after songwriters in country music — penning hits for other artists long before stepping into the spotlight himself. He fronted the bluegrass group The SteelDrivers before launching a solo career that turned him into one of the genre's defining modern voices, racking up Grammy and CMA awards along the way. His reputation rests on his songwriting and an unmistakable, gravelly powerhouse of a voice.
A few specific reasons this show is worth the trip:
1. The voice is the draw. Stapleton is widely regarded as one of the best live vocalists working today — this is a show built on pure musicianship.
2. Molly Tuttle is a real opener, not an afterthought. A Grammy-winning bluegrass virtuoso worth arriving early for.
3. The setting fits the music. An open-air summer night suits the road show's roots-music spirit perfectly.
4. It's a two-night run. If Friday sells out or doesn't work, Saturday, July 11 is an option.
5. It's a top-tier summer concert. One of the biggest touring acts at the region's biggest outdoor stage.
Ticket prices vary by seat type — from budget-friendly lawn spots to reserved seating and the GA pit near the stage. Buy through official channels to avoid resale markups.
