THE OSMONDS ANNOUNCE 2026 TOUR “ONE LAST RIDE” — A FAREWELL CELEBRATION FOR THE AGES
NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE — In what may be one of the most emotional announcements of the year, legendary family group The Osmonds have unveiled plans for their highly anticipated 2026 tour, titled “One Last Ride.” Slated to span multiple cities across the United States and potentially international stops, the tour promises to be a celebration of the group’s enduring legacy and musical impact spanning six decades.
According to insiders familiar with the project, this will be an emotional farewell performance series for the band’s remaining original members and longtime collaborators. Fans have followed The Osmonds since their rise to fame in the late *1960s and early 1970s, when hits like “One Bad Apple,” “Crazy Horses,” and “Love Me for a Reason” dominated charts and became household classics.
“The Osmonds have always been more than just performers — they are storytellers whose music has bridged generations,” said a representative for the group in a statement released to media outlets. “With ‘One Last Ride,’ they aim to honor their extraordinary journey and thank fans who have supported them through every era of their remarkable career.”
Although tour dates and venues are expected to be announced in the coming weeks, speculation is already rife about iconic stops including Nashville, Los Angeles, and New York — cities that hold special significance in the band’s long and storied history. Organizers are also evaluating possible international dates, recognizing the group’s deep global fanbase.
One emotional subplot to this farewell tour comes in the wake of the recent passing of Wayne Osmond, a founding member of the family act who died in early 2025 at age 73. His legacy, along with the contributions of other family members across the years, is expected to be a central theme of the shows and promotional materials.

Donny, Marie, Merrill, and Jay Osmond — all veteran performers with decades of experience on the world’s largest stages — are said to be deeply involved in shaping the tour’s creative vision. Longtime fans are hoping for intimate storytelling moments interspersed with classic hits, showcasing not just the music but the personal journey behind it.
In addition to live performances, the group is reportedly planning special multimedia segments and surprise guest appearances to underscore the family’s musical influence and cultural impact.
For many fans, “One Last Ride” won’t just be a concert — it will be a final opportunity to celebrate a singular musical dynasty whose songs have soundtracked family road trips, radio mornings, and moments of joy for generations.
