Record-breaking comedian Matt Rife is keeping the momentum going, announcing 40+ new dates for his “Stay Golden World Tour” across North America, Europe, and the UK in 2026. These fresh dates join his already-sold-out run through Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and Canada, proving there’s no slowing him down.
Produced by Live Nation, the new leg kicks off February 28, 2026, in Newark, NJ at the Prudential Center and hits major cities including Washington, DC, Tampa, Louisville, Amsterdam, Dublin, London, Rome, Los Angeles, Nashville, Chicago, and Toronto before wrapping December 29 in Oklahoma City, OK at the Paycom Center. In select markets, Rife will debut a new 360° in-the-round stage design, offering fans an up-close, fully immersive experience.
This leg follows a record-smashing 2025 tour that included two sold-out nights at Madison Square Garden, making Rife the youngest comedian to ever sell out the venue. Along the way, he broke ticket records at Nationwide Arena (Columbus), Climate Pledge Arena (Seattle), SNHU Arena (Manchester, NH), and Van Andel Arena (Grand Rapids, MI) — plus a historic milestone at Anaheim’s Honda Center, where he sold more tickets than any comedian in its history.
Building on the success of his “ProbleMATTic World Tour,” which sold over 600,000 tickets across 250+ showswithin 48 hours of its announcement, Rife continues to prove he’s one of the biggest breakout stars in comedy.
Fans can also look forward to his next Netflix special, “Matt Rife: Unwrapped — A Christmas Crowd Work Special,” premiering December 2, 2025. Directed by Erik Griffin and executive-produced by Rife and Christina Shams, the special—shot in Phoenix, Arizona—dives into the humor of holiday chaos, exploring “gifts, traditions, and who’s made the naughty or nice list this year.”
TICKETS: Tickets for all newly announced dates will be available starting Wednesday, November 12 at 12pm local time with an artist presale. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general onsale beginning Friday, November 14 at 12pm local time at MattRifeOfficial.com.
VIP: Matt Rife is offering fans a variety of ways to elevate their night out on his Stay Golden World Tour. Guests can enjoy enhanced experiences through three exclusive VIP packages designed to make the evening unforgettable.
The Gold VIP Experience includes early venue entry, access to a private pre-show VIP bar with complimentary drink tickets, a photo booth, and engaging activations that set the stage for an amazing show.
