Vincent Mason's 2026 opened with a sold-out headline run and then got much bigger, fast. He was on seven of Morgan Wallen's Still the Problem stadium shows that spring, including both Minneapolis nights and Bryant-Denny Stadium in Tuscaloosa. The ACMs nominated him for New Male Artist of the Year, and he made his late-night debut on The Tonight Show.
The new songs went quieter. "Don't Ask Me," out in April and written with Luke Laird, Hillary Lindsey and Jack Rauton, sits in the unsettled part after a breakup. He sang the second verse on Stella Lefty's "Something To Lose," and "What You Want," another Rauton co-write, came out over the summer with little more than an acoustic guitar under it.
Summer meant amphitheaters with Parker McCollum, The Wharf in Orange Beach, Alabama among them, and October meant Tucker Wetmore dates ending at Red Rocks, where he and Wetmore told Jacob Hackworth he'd be making his Grand Ole Opry debut. His own When You're Not Around Tour starts February 11, 2027 in St. Louis, plays the Tabernacle in Atlanta in March, and ends May 8 in Wilmington, North Carolina.
