A country music icon is coming back to Kentucky. The Beaver Dam Amphitheatre just announced that Hank Williams Jr. is returning to their stage for the first time since a record-breaking show in 2022.

THE FASTEST SELLOUT IN BEAVER DAM AMP HISTORY

That year, Hank Williams Jr. made DAM history with the venue's fastest sellout in history. **That record was eclipsed in 2024 by Oliver Anthony, who sold out the venue in just 15 hours.** Now, due to overwhelming demand, Hank Jr.'s coming back to western Kentucky for what's being hailed as "the region's biggest concert event of the year."

Save this date! Hank Williams Jr. will be in Beaver Dam on Friday, May 29th. The show is part of the 2026 First United Bank and Trust Concert Series.

Paul Sandefur, the Mayor of Beaver Dam, says, "Welcoming Hank Williams Jr. back to Beaver Dam is a tremendous moment for our city and for all of Ohio County." He continues, "When a global name and living legend like Hank Williams Jr. returns to Beaver Dam, it sends a powerful message about who we are and what we have built here."
