But for those who want a different Eric Church experience, there is a really unique thing happening on the big screen! IMAX theaters are about to become giant honky-tonks in 2026.

The concert season really has no end. In fact, as more and more stars are announcing shows for 2026, there are still some shows remaining this year! From Buffalo, to Albany, there is no shortage of big shows. Country Music seems to be the king of the concert list and it in only getting bigger.

IMAX and Eric Church have announced a cool partnership for 2026. "Evangeline vs. The Machine Comes Alive" the concert film was recorded during Church's two nights at the Pinnacle in Nashville, Tennessee! Fans will have a chance to see it on the big screen in February!

As far as shows that will be in person in New York State, so far we know he will bring the Free The Machine Tour to Buffalo on February 13 and to Albany inside MVP Arena February 14th!

One of the most unique Eric Church shows that I have ever seen was hands down the night he played at a bar called The Buckin' Buffalo after being removed from the Rascal Flatts concert list in 2006. Church is one of the stars that has had a huge following here in Western New York since the start of his career and seems to have had the same love for the fans in this area.

On the IMAX website, it only mentions "coming soon" but Evangeline vs. The Machine Comes Alive" is expected to be at IMAX theaters starting February 13th.

Here is my chat with Eric Church from the Country Music Awards in 2013.
