Dierks Bentley at CMAC | July 11, 2026
The Off The Map Tour 2026 has the feel of an artist who’s stopped auditioning for a wider audience and started playing to his strengths. Dierks Bentley launches this run on June 12 in Arkansas and works through roughly a dozen dates before landing at CMAC in Canandaigua on a Saturday night in July — a venue that has become reliable country territory, and one that suits an artist of this particular weight: substantial enough to anchor an outdoor amphitheater, rooted enough to feel like more than a summer production.
About Dierks Bentley
Bentley arrives in the Finger Lakes behind Broken Branches, his 11th studio album for Capitol Records Nashville (June 2025), produced by Jon Randall and Ross Copperman. The record’s organizing idea is embedded in the title — “We’re all broken branches out of the family tree” — and it leans into the kind of imperfection and outlier identity that has kept Bentley’s career intact through more than two decades of country music cycles. The collaborator list is eclectic and deliberate: Miranda Lambert, John Anderson, Riley Green, Stephen Wilson Jr. The lead single, “She Hates Me,” arrived in February 2025 and reportedly debuted higher than anything he’d previously released. A Broken Branches Extended edition followed in October with additional tracks. An award-winning artist cycling into his second year behind this material tends to perform it with more authority than ambition — which, for a live show, is usually the right trade.
The supporting lineup deserves a mention before we get to ticket logistics. Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder bring genuine bluegrass credibility to the bill — Skaggs is a living connection to pre-commercial country, and his sets reward the audience members who arrive before the lawn fills. Kaitlin Butts rounds out the night; a Texas songwriter whose voice carries the kind of weight that doesn’t need production to land. This is not a bill assembled for spectacle. It’s assembled for music.
About CMAC
CMAC — the Constellation Brands–Marvin Sands Performing Arts Center — sits on Marvin Sands Drive in Canandaigua, set against the western edge of Canandaigua Lake country. It is an outdoor amphitheater, which means July weather is part of the contract. Doors open at 5:30 PM; if you’ve been here before, you already know the Finger Lakes at golden hour makes its own argument for arriving early. The show is presented by The Bowery Presents and is the ninth booking in CMAC’s 2026 summer season. Whatever the rest of that calendar promises, this is a flagship night.
