MULVANE— Fans of raw, unfiltered country are in for a major summer highlight as Aaron Lewis and the Stateliners take the stage at Kansas Star Arena on Saturday, Aug. 15, 2026. Known for his unmistakable voice and no‑nonsense songwriting, Lewis is set to deliver an evening packed with grit, heart and the kind of authenticity that has defined his solo career.
Vermont-born singer Lewis, who first rose to prominence as the frontman of Staind, has carved out a second chapter as a country artist with a loyal following and multiple chart‑topping releases. Backed by the Stateliners, his live performances blend storytelling, musicianship and the unmistakable edge that has made him a standout across genres.
Lewis’ solo projects have produced two No. 1 debuts on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart — Town Line (2011) and Sinner (2016) — along with a platinum-certified collaboration with George Jones and Charlie Daniels on “Country Boy.” In 2021, he earned a gold-certified No. 1 hit with “Am I the Only One.”
His 2022 album, Frayed at Both Ends, continued that momentum, becoming the best‑selling country album in the United States. But Lewis has long maintained that chart positions are not his motivation. Across genres, he writes and sings to express his truth — a commitment that continues on his forthcoming album, The Hill.
Doors open at 6 p.m., with the show beginning at 7 p.m. Tickets go on sale Friday, Jan. 16, 2026, at 10 a.m. CST.
