Record-breaking comedian Matt Rife announced an extension of his highly successful Stay Golden World Tour, with a run of 40+ new dates playing off next year across North America, Europe and the UK. These add to his previously announced shows across Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Canada. The run of new shows, produced by Live Nation, kick off on Saturday 28th February in Newark, NJ at Prudential Center, before continuing with shows in Washington, DC, Tampa, Louisville, Amsterdam, Dublin, London, Manchester, Glasgow, Rome, Los Angeles, Nashville, Chicago, Toronto and more before wrapping up on Tuesday 29th December in Oklahoma City, OK at Paycom Center.
In select markets, Rife will introduce a new 360° in-the-round stage design, giving fans a completely immersive experience. With the addition of these shows, Matt will be heading to 10+ countries next year with a total of 60+ shows.
The 2026 leg follows this year’s Stay Golden Tour, which saw Rife play shows across San Diego, Austin, Philadelphia, and more — including two sold-out nights at New York’s Madison Square Garden, making him the youngest comedian to sell out the venue. Rife has shattered multiple venue records across the country on this tour, including the most single-event tickets ever sold at both Columbus’ Nationwide Arena and Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena, as well as the all-time ticket sales record at Manchester’s SNHU Arena and the paid seat record for the Van Andel Arena in Grand Rapids, MI. He also set a new benchmark at Anaheim’s Honda Center, breaking the record for most tickets sold by a comedian in the venue’s history.

A recipient of the Goya Award – the highest honour within Spanish cinema, as well as recently becoming Oscars 2026 qualified, Lorena and Carlos tell us more about exploring the film’s timely topic further, what they’ve learned from creating the film and what audiences can expect.
