Country star Tim McGraw will take his show outdoors, with the help of some friends, when he headlines Target Field Aug. 23.
Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday via Ticketmaster. Citi cardholders have access to a presale that runs from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Thursday.
McGraw, who’ll be 59 when he gets to the Twins ballpark, first hit No. 1 with 1994’s “Don’t Take the Girl” and has landed back in that spot more than two dozen more times over the years, with smashes like “I Like It, I Love It,” “Unbroken,” “Live Like You Were Dying,” “Last Dollar (Fly Away),” “Felt Good on My Lips,” “Shotgun Rider” and “Humble and Kind.”
In his more than three decades-long career, the Louisiana native has been a frequent visitor to the Twin Cities. He’s headlined the former Xcel Energy Center, Target Center and Minnesota State Fair Grandstand numerous times and played multiple shows with his wife Faith Hill. Most recently, McGraw drew a capacity crowd to the X in 2024.
McGraw released his 16th album, “Standing Room Only,” in 2023 and the title cut gave him yet another hit.
At the time, he said he had worked on the record for three years and that it had “some of the most emotional, thought-provoking and life-affirming music I’ve ever recorded.”

At Target Field, McGraw will be joined by veteran acts the Chicks and Lady A as well as 49 Winchester and Timothy Wayne.
The Chicks are likely to help McGraw move some tickets. The trio formerly known as the Dixie Chicks have only toured sporadically over the past two decades, but sold out the Grandstand the three times they’ve played there.
