Kelsea Ballerini Coming to Upstate New York for a Night You’ll Never Forget

This is big news for country fans in Upstate New York. The Dick’s Sporting Goods Open has officially announced its Friday night concert, and it’s one you won’t want to miss- Kelsea Ballerini is coming to Endicott next summer. The Grammy-nominated singer and songwriter, known for blending heartfelt storytelling with a modern country edge, will take the stage on Friday, June 26th, 2026.

The Rise of a Relatable Country Powerhouse

Kelsea’s story is the kind that reminds us how far passion and perseverance can take someone. She started writing songs as a young girl and signed her first record deal at just 19. Her debut single, “Love Me Like You Mean It,” not only climbed straight to No. 1 but also made her the first woman since Carrie Underwood to top the Country Airplay chart with a debut release.

What followed were years of steady success. “Dibs,” “Peter Pan,” “Legends," each one a reflection of Kelsea’s growth both as an artist and a woman navigating life in the spotlight. Her songs have a way of striking that rare balance between polished and personal, speaking to anyone who’s ever loved deeply, lost hard, or just tried to make sense of it all.

An Artist Growing, Evolving, and Inspiring Beyond the Music

Through every era of her career, Kelsea has found ways to evolve while staying true to herself. From Unapologetically to Subject to Change, and her latest album Patterns, she’s continued to open up about love, independence, and what it means to find your footing in a world that’s always changing.

Kelsea has also made her mark beyond the studio. Invited to join the Grand Ole Opry by Little Big Town and officially inducted by Carrie Underwood, Kelsea became part of country music history. And earlier this year, she took on a new role as a coach on The Voice, guiding a new generation of talent and proving that her influence now stretches far beyond the stage.

One Unforgettable Summer Night in Endicott

There’s something special about live music on a summer night, and this one promises to be a standout. Kelsea Ballerini will headline the Dick’s Sporting Goods Open Friday night concert on June 26, 2026, bringing a mix of hits, heart, and that unmistakable Kelsea energy to the Southern Tier. Expect a night filled with great music, good company, and that incredible moment when thousands of voices join in on every chorus.
