Matt Rife Expands “Stay Golden World Tour” With 40+ New 2026 Dates

Comedian Matt Rife is set for the biggest year of his career as he expands his Stay Golden World Tour with more than 40 newly announced dates across North America, Europe, and the United Kingdom. The additions transform the already‑massive run into a full‑year global schedule stretching from February through December 2026.

A Major 2026 Expansion

• 40+ new tour dates added across North America, Europe, and the UK
• Tour launches February 28, 2026 in Newark, NJ at Prudential Center
• Stops include major cities such as Washington DC, Amsterdam, Dublin, London, Rome, Los Angeles, Nashville, Chicago, and Toronto
• Select venues will feature 360° in‑the‑round staging for an immersive audience experience
• Expansion builds on his sold‑out 2025 momentum across Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and Canada

A Global Comedy Phenomenon

Rife’s rapid rise continues to reshape what’s possible for arena‑level stand‑up. His 2025 shows sold out at record pace, and the expanded 2026 itinerary confirms sustained worldwide demand. The tour’s in‑the‑round stage design — used in select major markets — places Rife at the center of the venue, offering fans a closer, more dynamic performance environment.

International Reach

After opening in Newark, the tour moves through a packed North American slate before heading to Europe in April for arena shows in Amsterdam, Dublin, London, Rome, and additional cities. Rife then returns to the U.S. for a summer and fall run, ultimately closing the tour on December 29, 2026, in Oklahoma City.

Momentum From a Breakout Year

The expansion follows Rife’s record‑breaking 2025, which included sold‑out runs across Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and Canada, as well as major U.S. venues. His previous “ProbleMATTic” tour sold more than 600,000 tickets in under 48 hours, setting the stage for the even larger Stay Golden era
