Miranda Lambert will open Nashville's newest venue, The Truth, with a special one-night-only performance on October 1, MusicRow reported on August 18, 2026. The show comes one day before her new album, Crisco, arrives via MCA.

The 4,400-capacity room will welcome Lambert as its first-ever artist, backed by a 12-piece string section for a set that mixes her catalog of hits with early cuts from Crisco. Tickets go on sale to the public this Friday, August 21, at 10 a.m. CT.

Crisco leans into a long-overlooked link between country's dance hall tradition and disco, according to MusicRow, and Lambert has already previewed several tracks, including the California-flavored "Sunset Marquis," the title track and "Till The Going's Gone." The album also includes a Grammy-nominated duet with Chris Stapleton, "A Song To Sing."

The Truth becomes one of several new venues opening in Nashville this year, giving Lambert's country fans an early listen to Crisco before its release with a rare full-band string arrangement most of her shows do not carry.

MusicSuey has more on the venue's opening night announcement from earlier this week and Lambert's recent Sturgis appearance with Gretchen Wilson and Lainey Wilson as the Crisco rollout continues.
