Matt Rife is deep in his Stay Golden era, and he’s clearly not ready to slow down. Originally kicking off in 2024, the Stay Golden Tour was officially extended into 2026 after a killer run of shows, and since then the comedic king has basically been living on the road, bouncing from continent to continent with a schedule that hasn’t let up.

Fresh off a string of dates in Australia and Singapore, Rife is now turning his focus back to the U.S. The next wave of his North American takeover kicks off next week, February 24th, in Newark, NJ at the Prudential Center, marking the start of yet another leg of shows that will keep him busy through the end of the year. From there, he’ll continue crisscrossing the country, hitting major cities and markets that have been begging for more dates.

Fans stateside can expect him in spots like D.C., Jacksonville, Tampa, Cincinnati, Hollywood, Charlotte, Atlantic City, Rogers, Nampa, Portland, Buffalo, Toronto and more, before he brings this chapter of the Stay Golden saga to a close on December 29th in Oklahoma City. It’s the kind of run that feels less like a tour and more like a marathon… except the energy onstage hasn’t dipped once.

Adding to the excitement, select shows will be filmed, making this leg even more special for the cities that make the cut. If you’re hoping to be part of the footage (or just want the chance to point yourself out when a special eventually drops), you’ll want to head to Matt’s official site to check if your date is one of the lucky ones.

Unsurprisingly, most standard tickets are already sold out, no shock given how fast he’s been moving tickets the last few years. But there’s still hope for late planners: platinum and resale tickets are available, and more official seats continue to be added at random as production holds release. Translation: stalk those ticket pages, because new inventory can quietly appear without warning.

With even more shows being added and rooms still selling out nearly as soon as they go on sale, Matt Rife’s Stay Golden Tour has cemented itself as one of comedy’s biggest ongoing success stories, and 2026 is shaping up to be his most golden year yet.
