The George Strait 2025 Tour began with an unforgettable night that had fans of all ages buzzing. On May 10, under the bright lights of Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field, 52,000 fans witnessed Strait surprise the crowd by performing Waylon Jennings’ 1977 classic, “Luckenbach, Texas.”
Before playing the song, Strait told the audience he and his band hadn’t played it since the ’70s, making the moment feel deeply nostalgic—especially for fans who grew up loving both Jennings and Strait. His smooth vocals paid a heartfelt tribute to Jennings’ outlaw country legacy while bringing new energy to the timeless track.
But that tribute was just one highlight from the evening. Over the course of a two-hour set, Strait delivered 31 songs blending his biggest hits and beloved fan favorites. He also shared that his personal top pick remains the 1982 classic “Amarillo By Morning.”
