Record-Breaking Comedian Matt Rife Expands 'Stay Golden World Tour' With 40+ New Dates Across North America, Europe and the UK

Wichita, Kansas – Today, record-breaking comedian Matt Rife announced an extension of his highly successful Stay Golden World Tour, with a run of 40+ new dates playing off next year across North America, Europe and the UK. These add to his previously announced shows across Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Canada. The run of new shows, produced by Live Nation, kick off on Saturday, February 28 in Newark, NJ at Prudential Center, before continuing with shows in Washington, DC, Tampa, Louisville, Amsterdam, Dublin, London, Rome, Los Angeles, Nashville, Chicago, Toronto and more before wrapping up on Tuesday, December 29 in Oklahoma City, OK at Paycom Center. The tour stops in Wichita, KS at INTRUST Bank Arena on December 13, 2026.
 
In select markets, Rife will introduce a new 360° in-the-round stage design, giving fans a completely immersive experience. With the addition of these shows, Matt will be heading to 10+ countries next year with a total of 60+ shows.
 
The 2026 leg follows this year’s Stay Golden Tour, which saw Rife play shows across San Diego, Austin, Philadelphia, and more — including two sold-out nights at New York’s Madison Square Garden, making him the youngest comedian to sell out the venue. Rife has shattered multiple venue records across the country on this tour, including the most single-event tickets ever sold at both Columbus’ Nationwide Arena and Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena, as well as the all-time ticket sales record at Manchester’s SNHU Arena and the paid seat record for the Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, MI. He also set a new benchmark at Anaheim’s Honda Center, breaking the record for most tickets sold by a comedian in the venue’s history.
 
His Stay Golden era builds on the success of his ProbleMATTic World Tour, where Rife sold over 600,000 tickets across 250+ shows in under 48 hours following its 2023 announcement. That global run included stops across North America, Europe, the UK, and Australia, solidifying his status as one of comedy’s biggest breakout stars.
 
Rife’s next special for Netflix premieres globally on December 2nd, 2025. Matt Rife: Unwrapped — A Christmas Crowd Work Special, “explores gifts, traditions and who’s made it on the naughty or nice list this year.” Directed by Erik Griffin, the special was taped in Phoenix, Arizona. Rife also executive produced along with Christina Shams. His company, Carpe Noctem, produced the special along with Avesta Entertainment and Above Average.
