LEXINGTON, KY (December 2, 2025) –– Five-time GRAMMY® winner and the most awarded artist in Christian music history, Steven Curtis Chapman, is extending Speechless The Tour into spring 2026 after overwhelming fan response and five sold-out shows this fall. The celebrated tour will arrive at the Lexington Opera House on Wednesday, March 18, 2026, offering fans the opportunity to experience the 25th anniversary of Chapman’s iconic, multi-platinum album Speechless.
Back by popular demand, the spring 2026 leg will once again showcase the landmark album performed front to back in its entirety, a touring first for Chapman, featuring classics like “Dive,” “Be Still and Know,” “Fingerprints of God,” and the title track “Speechless.” Each night will also include fan-favorite hits from across Chapman’s storied career, along with special surprises.
“The response to the Speechless tour has been unlike anything I expected,” Chapman said. “It was clear that this album still means so much to so many people, and I’m incredibly grateful and humbled by the incredible turnout and response to the Speechless ‘25 tour. And because of that, I’m very excited to bring Speechless back in 2026 to even more cities this spring! I can’t wait to share these songs and memories with everyone who has asked us to bring the show to their hometown!”
Originally launched to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Speechless, the tour has quickly become one of Chapman’s most in-demand live experiences in years. With high ticket demand expected to continue into 2026, fans are encouraged to secure their seats early.
