One of the most fun things I do for my job is play requests and that's what this is. I had a member of my audience ask if I could compile a list of the concerts coming to the Kansas City, Missouri area in 2026. It was not an easy task, but I have what I believe is a good snapshot of the shows that have been confirmed so far in the new year.

One of the challenges of documenting concerts in the Kansas City area is the fact that there are so many great venues to see shows. What I've attempted to do is break it down by venue with a chronological list of what shows are officially on the schedule for each place. Here's what I came up with:
