Lauren Daigle announces 2026 Behold Christmas Tour
Lauren Daigle will bring her Behold Christmas Tour back for a tenth run this December, returning to a selection of cities with a holiday set built around her best-selling Christmas album.
The two-time Grammy winner and multi-platinum selling artist announced the 2026 edition of the seasonal tour, which has become an annual fixture since it launched. The new dates mark the tenth anniversary of the series, which Daigle has used in past years to pair her catalog with Christmas standards and songs from her holiday record.
The tour takes its name from that album, "Behold," which Daigle released in 2016. The record featured her takes on classics like "O Holy Night" and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," alongside original material. It has since become one of the best-selling Christmas albums of the past decade, going platinum and helping turn the accompanying tour into a yearly tradition for the singer and her audience.
Daigle's holiday shows have typically mixed a full-band production with the more intimate, stripped-back arrangements that define the album. The December run will stop in select cities, with the full routing and on-sale dates expected to be announced in the coming weeks. The announcement did not specify which venues or markets are included in the 2026 itinerary.
The tour news arrives at the end of a busy period for Daigle. She spent much of the past year on the road behind her 2023 self-titled album, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and extended her streak of chart-topping releases. That record followed 2018's "Look Up Child," which made her a crossover star on the strength of the single "You Say," a song that spent 45 weeks at No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Christian Songs chart.
Daigle's mainstream reach has grown since then. She has performed on network television, collaborated with artists outside the Christian music sphere, and built a touring base that now includes arena dates. The Christmas tour has run parallel to that rise, returning each December since its debut and giving her a chance to close out the year in a different register.
The 2026 edition will be the first since the tour's tenth anniversary was confirmed, and Daigle's team framed the upcoming dates as a continuation of the series rather than a reinvention. The announcement described the shows as special holiday performances inspired by the album, the same framing used in previous years.
Daigle has not released a new Christmas album since "Behold," and the upcoming tour is expected to draw again from that record. She has said in past interviews that the holiday project remains a favorite because it lets her sing songs with a weight and history that her own material does not carry. The live show has typically leaned into that sentiment, with Daigle often speaking between songs about the meaning of the season.
The December dates will follow her regular touring schedule, which runs through the fall. Daigle has a string of non-holiday shows booked into late 2026, and the Christmas run will begin after those wrap. Specific dates, venues, and ticket details for the Behold tour have not yet been released.
The tour announcement was first reported by GMusicPlus. Daigle's team has not yet confirmed presale information or VIP packages, which have been a component of the tour in previous years. Fans holding out for a full routing will have to wait for the official announcement, which typically arrives with the on-sale date.
For Daigle, the tenth edition of the tour is a milestone in a career that has moved steadily from church stages to arenas. The Christmas shows have become a reliable part of that trajectory, a December ritual that now returns for another year.
