Dallas: Thomas Rhett at American Airlines Center

Country hitmaker Thomas Rhett plays American Airlines Center in Dallas on Friday, September 18, with tickets starting at $33.

The son of country singer Rhett Akins, Thomas Rhett has become one of Nashville’s most consistent chart-toppers since his 2013 debut, blending traditional country songwriting with pop and R&B influences on hits like “Die a Happy Man,” “Marry Me,” and “Life Changes.” His albums frequently top the country charts, and his live shows lean into a party-friendly, crowd-interactive energy that’s helped him become one of the format’s most durable arena and stadium headliners over the past decade, regularly bringing his wife and young children on stage during hometown-style banter between songs.

American Airlines Center has anchored Dallas’s Victory Park development since it opened in July 2001, a roughly $420 million arena built on the former site of a downtown power plant. Owned by the City of Dallas and operated by a joint venture of the Dallas Mavericks and Dallas Stars, the arena reconfigures for basketball, hockey, or a full concert setup, drawing crowds of up to 21,000 for touring shows.

Doors typically open around 6 PM ahead of a 7:30 PM start, with Victory Park’s restaurants and bars nearby. Given the popularity of this tour, arriving with plenty of time to find parking and get settled before the opening act is a good idea. Fans planning the night out should check current showtimes and any last-minute schedule updates directly with the venue before heading over, since large touring productions occasionally adjust set times close to the date.
