Clay Walker with BlackHawk
2026-08-29 19:00 - 22:00 | Oshkosh Arena, 1212 S Main St, Oshkosh, WI, 54902, United States
Country music mainstay Clay Walker will bring more than three decades of chart‑topping hits to the Oshkosh Arena when he takes the stage with special guest BlackHawk at 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 29.
“This concert promises a night of country music nostalgia, masterful songwriting and powerhouse performances from two beloved acts whose legacies continue to shape the genre,” said VenuWorks of Oshkosh Executive Director Andy Linton.
Tickets for the concert go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, May 1, and will be available through the Oshkosh Arena box office and Oshkosh Arena’s Ticketmaster page.
Known for his rich vocals and heartfelt storytelling, Walker has built an extraordinary career that includes multiplatinum album sales, 11 No. 1 hits and more than 40 singles on the country charts. Fans can expect an unforgettable evening featuring beloved classics including “If I Could Make A Living” and “She Won’t Be Lonely Long,” along with newer material that reflects both nostalgia and growth.
Diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 1996, Walker has turned personal adversity into purpose, founding the Clay Walker Foundation to support MS research and those living with the disease. His annual Clay Walker Charity Classic at Pebble Beach has raised significant awareness and funding for the cause. Walker continues to release new music, including recent singles “Cowboys in Heaven” and “I Know She Hung The Moon,” and his latest album, Texas To Tennessee, debuted at No. 1 on the iTunes Country Albums chart. A member of the Texas Cowboy Hall of Fame, Walker remains a powerful presence on country music stages nationwide.
Joining Walker is legendary ’90s country group BlackHawk, whose unmistakable harmonies and emotionally resonant songwriting have earned the band more than 7 million albums sold and a loyal fanbase that continues to grow. With iconic hits and a concert experience praised for its musical depth and authenticity, BlackHawk brings a timeless sound that still feels fresh.
Co‑founder and lead vocalist Henry Paul describes the band’s enduring appeal as a commitment to “smart songs and unique harmonies,” a philosophy that continues to shine during their live performances. Alongside bandmate Dave Robbins, BlackHawk delivers performances that are both musically refined and deeply engaging.
