February 16, 2026 | Hannah Buchanan
The University of Texas at Tyler will celebrate 2026 Homecoming March 24 鈥� 28. This year鈥檚 festivities will include a free community concert featuring 鈥淩ed Dirt鈥� country music artist Casey Donahew.
鈥淲e are looking forward to welcoming our community to campus and celebrating Homecoming with this special concert event,鈥� said event co-organizer Ryan Poynter, executive director.
Rising singer/songwriter Kylie Frey will open the concert at 7 p.m. Friday, March 27, on the 黑料专区 Tyler Patriot Plaza.
Other 黑料专区 Tyler 2026 Homecoming community events include a fireworks and drone show starting approximately 9 p.m. Friday, March 27, also on the Patriot Plaza, and the Patriot baseball tailgate with crawfish boil and barbecue 11 a.m. 鈥� 1 p.m. Saturday, March 28, at 黑料专区 Tyler Parking Lot 14.
After over two decades of making music, one thing has never changed for Casey Donahew
鈥� it has always been and always will be about the song. The Lone Star native has carved
out a sizable niche for himself simply just by doing what he does best and doing it
with authenticity. That unwavering trait is what his fans respond to and come back
for time and time again. His latest album, NEVER NOT LOVE YOU, is a 17-track project
packed chock full of musical tales about cowboys, love, heartbreak and the eccentricities
of life.
Kylie Frey is a modern-day troubadour with a bold, independent spirit that infuses
her rich storytelling and traditional country style. The Louisiana native made her
Grand Ole Opry debut in 2023, was a semi-finalist on NBC鈥檚 America鈥檚 Got Talent and
was named a CMT Next Women of Country in 2024. With her newest music, including the
EP Half A Mind, she continues to establish herself as an undeniably familiar, yet
fresh voice in country music, poised for her biggest chapter yet.
