Little Big Town brings It's A Dying Art to the McKnight Center on Feb. 18

Fresh off a fall arena-and-theater run behind their 12th album, the country harmony quartet plays OSU's 1,098-seat McKnight Center on Thursday, Feb. 18.

Little Big Town have spent this fall in big rooms: Atlanta's Fox Theatre, Boston, Philadelphia, a run that wraps in Toronto in late November. In February they're coming somewhere a lot smaller and a lot closer. Little Big Town play the McKnight Center for the Performing Arts in Stillwater on Thursday, Feb. 18, 2027, at 7:30 p.m.

The date, announced Oct. 19, is on the band's own tour page, and tickets go through the McKnight Center, the hall at 705 W. University Ave. on the Oklahoma State campus. The center's event listings are the place to watch for on-sale details; single tickets for its 2026-27 season started going on sale in August, but we couldn't confirm the on-sale date for this show, so check the box office rather than resale sites.

The room is the story here. The McKnight Center seats 1,098. For a band that has spent this fall in places like the Fox, that's a rare chance to hear those four-part harmonies close enough to see who's taking which line.

A band that just toured 26 big rooms is playing one with 1,098 seats in Stillwater.

The show follows the release of It's A Dying Art, Little Big Town's 12th studio album, out Aug. 28 on MCA. According to MCA's press room, it was co-produced by Gena Johnson and band member Karen Fairchild, and it brings in Ashley Monroe, Jason Isbell and Kelsea Ballerini. Ballerini sings on "Closing Time," and "Hey There Sunshine" debuted on the 61st Academy of Country Music Awards.

That album launched the For The Art Of It tour, a 26-show Live Nation run that opened Sept. 24 in St. Petersburg, Fla., and, as MusicRow reported, heads through Louisville, Milwaukee, Chattanooga, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Boston and Philadelphia before closing Nov. 22 in Toronto. 313 Presents has the Detroit stop at the Fox Theatre on Nov. 20. Stillwater isn't on that fall itinerary, which makes the February date its own thing.

For Payne County, it's a chance to see one of country's best-known harmony groups without the drive to Tulsa or Oklahoma City. A Thursday night on campus, a 7:30 start, and a band touring a new album. That fits a hall this size.

Watch the McKnight Center's site for the on-sale, and don't wait long once it opens.
