RUSSELL DICKERSON HEADLINES VALSPAR LIVE PRESENTED BY CHICK-FIL-A ON SATURDAY, MAY 8
For Immediate Release: October 6, 2026
Multi-Platinum entertainer Russell Dickerson, whose hits have topped country chart six times, will headline the 11th edition of Valspar LIVE, a part of the 2027 Valspar Championship, on Saturday, May 8. The concert, free to all tournament attendees that day, will be held on the Osprey Driving Range at Innisbrook Resort in Palm Harbor.
Dickerson is the latest in a line of top Country artists who have appeared on the Valspar stage beginning with The Band Perry in 2015. The headliners since then have been Rascal Flatts (2016), Toby Keith (2017), Jake Owen and Dustin Lynch (2018), Brad Paisley (2019), Chris Young and Big & Rich (2022), Darius Rucker (2023), Cole Swindell (2024), Jordan Davis (2025) and Lee Brice and Tyler Hubbard (2026).
Dickerson has built a career defined by heart, grit, and explosive live performances. He burst onto the scene with a remarkable run of # 1 hits — “Yours” (3X Platinum), “Blue Tacoma” (2X Platinum), “Love You Like I Used To” (2X Platinum), “Every Little Thing” (Platinum), “God Gave Me a Girl,” and the 2X Platinum-certified “Happen to Me” — cementing his reputation as one of country music’s most consistent hitmakers. Dickerson has paired genre-blending sonics with heartfelt songwriting, from the soul-infused 3X Platinum duet “She Likes It” (with Jake Scott) to arena-ready anthems that showcase both swagger and sincerity.
His most recent album, “Famous Back Home”, was released in 2025 and furthered his reputation for heartfelt authenticity. He has generated more than four billion live streams in his still growing career. Dickerson’s performances are known for feel-good lyrical brilliance and raw energy.
On the Copperhead Course at Innisbrook, Matt Fitzpatrick will defend his 2026 Valspar Championship title against a top field of PGA Tour pros. Tickets for the 2027 Valspar Championship, including Valspar LIVE, will go on sale in January for all tournament days, including Saturday, at ValsparChampionship.com.
The Valspar LIVE presented by Chick-fil-A concert is produced by the Valspar Championship in conjunction with Ruth Eckerd Hall On The Road.
About Russell Dickerson
Long admired for lyrics inspired by his happy home life, Dickerson has fully stepped into the spotlight as a powerhouse entertainer. His sold-out live show became the driving force behind his fourth studio album, FAMOUS BACK HOME, a high-energy, confidence-fueled project that mirrors the electricity of his SOLD-OUT RUSSELLMANIA TOUR. Blending country-soul, ‘80s rock, and modern pop, FAMOUS BACK HOME captures Dickerson at his boldest and most personal. From dance-floor-ready moments to tender family-man reflections, the album delivers sonic swagger without sacrificing the heart-on-sleeve authenticity that has defined his career from the very beginning.
