Rising star Braxton Keith to perform at 2026 Raising Cane’s Concert for Legends

Texas native to take stage before show headliner Lainey Wilson

Braxton Keith, a rising country star whom both Amazon Music and Rolling Stone have named as one of their “Artists to Watch” this year, will perform at the 2026 Raising Cane’s Concert for Legends.

Keith will take the stage at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton on Sunday, Aug. 9, prior to event headliner Lainey Wilson’s performance.

“To add a talent like Braxton Keith to this year’s Concert for Legends makes an already exciting event even better,” said Jim Porter, president & CEO of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. “Braxton’s truly unique style is helping him become more recognized, appreciated and sought-after. It won’t be long until he’s a household name in the music industry who’s gaining widespread acclaim.”

Keith’s debut album “Real Damn Deal,” coming out this Friday (May 15), includes 15 tracks that showcase his ability to perform every classic country sound from Texas honky-tonk to Western swing. 

Performing at more than 130 shows in 2025, Keith supported such artists as Cody Johnson, Gavin Adcock and Luke Bryan. He also played his own “This Ain’t My First Tour” tour and made his debut at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. His extensive list of tour dates for 2026 can be found here.

Wilson was announced as the 2026 Concert for Legends headliner moments after the conclusion of the 2025 concert in Canton. She was named Entertainer of the Year and Female Artist of the Year at the 60th annual Academy of Country Music Awards last May and has been nominated in both categories again this year. The awards will be presented May 17 in Las Vegas, with Wilson as one of the show’s live performers.
