Dierks Bentley is bringing the Off the Map Tour 2026 to Turning Stone Resort Casino in Verona on July 11 — and if you know anything about Bentley’s live show, you know this is going to be a big night in a room that can actually contain the energy. Show time is 7:00 PM.
About Dierks Bentley
Bentley has been one of country music’s most consistent artists for over two decades. Since breaking through with “What Was I Thinkin'” in 2003, he’s racked up over 20 number-one hits, multiple platinum albums, and a reputation as one of the hardest-working live performers in the genre. He’s not a pop-country crossover act — Bentley leans into the traditional side of the format while keeping enough modern edge to stay current. Songs like “Drunk on a Plane,” “Somewhere on a Beach,” “I Hold On,” and “Living” span the full range of what country radio can be — rowdy party anthems next to deeply personal ballads.
What separates Bentley from a lot of his peers is authenticity. He’s a bluegrass nerd at heart — his side project with his band Hot Country Knights is a loving parody of ’90s country, and his bluegrass album Up on the Ridge showed real depth. For a pre-show deep cut, Up on the Ridge is worth your time, even if you think you know what Dierks Bentley sounds like.
The Off the Map Tour
The Off the Map Tour 2026 is hitting venues across the country this summer, and the Turning Stone date is a separate stop from Bentley’s previously announced CMAC show. That’s two upstate NY dates on the same tour — which tells you something about how well Bentley draws in this part of the country. If the CMAC show is more your style with its outdoor amphitheater setting, you’ve got options. But the Turning Stone Event Center offers a different experience — tighter, louder, and with the energy that comes from being closer to the stage.
Venue Info
Turning Stone Resort Casino sits just off the Thruway in Verona, about 30 minutes east of Syracuse. The Event Center is the resort’s dedicated concert space, and it delivers solid sound and good sight lines for a room its size. The real advantage of a Turning Stone show is the full-resort experience — you can make it a whole evening or a whole weekend. Restaurants, bars, a golf course, a spa, and a casino floor are all on-site. Parking is free and plentiful, which is a welcome change from venue parking in most cities. If you’re driving from Syracuse, Rochester, or Utica, the Thruway access couldn’t be easier.
Tickets
Tickets are available now through Live Nation. Bentley has a loyal following in upstate NY, and between this show and the CMAC date, demand is going to be strong. If Turning Stone is your preferred venue — or you want the indoor experience — grab your tickets before they thin out.
