Headlining for the BMO Pavilion on Saturday, July 4, 2026 is SAM BARBER!
With more than 2B global streams to date, SAM BARBER claimed his space in the country spotlight with the breakout success of his RIAA Gold-certified 2024 debut album, Restless Mind.
A truly enthralling live performer, Barber marked his meteoric rise by spending much of his time on the road, including the massive Restless Mind World Tour 2025, a marathon international run that saw sold-out headline dates and festival appearances across North America, the United Kingdom, Europe, and Australia. Through it all, Barber has showcased a remarkable gift for raw honesty and youthful enthusiasm that has forced him into nearly every conversation about the future of country music. Now, in the wake of Music for the Soul – and more stirring new music to come – that future may well belong to SAM BARBER!
