Cody Johnson Announces Highly Anticipated 2026 Des Moines Show
In a thrilling announcement for country music fans, award-winning artist Cody Johnson is officially scheduled to return to the stage, with a major performance set for Des Moines. The concert is slated for Saturday, May 9, 2026, at 7:30 p.m. at the downtown Casey’s Center, marking a significant comeback for the beloved singer.
From Health Crisis to Headliner
The announcement carries extra weight as it follows a concerning period for the artist. Earlier in October, Johnson had to make the difficult decision to cancel all remaining 2025 concerts. He was diagnosed with a “severe upper respiratory and sinus infection” and suffered a ruptured eardrum, forcing an immediate and indefinite pause on performing.
Despite these health setbacks, Johnson’s career momentum has not waned. He remains a dominant force in country music, earning four nominations at the upcoming 2025 Country Music Association (CMA) Awards, including a nod for the coveted Entertainer of the Year. It remains uncertain if his recovery will permit him to attend the ceremony on November 19.
