Ruel made another exciting comeback to Atlanta! Arthur Hill opened for Ruel’s tour. The show took place at the Buckhead Theatre in Atlanta, GA, USA, at 8:00 P.M. on February 17, 2026.

As Ruel fans gathered around the venue, the lights dimmed and the show was about to begin: a large door on stage flickered under the stage lights, then suddenly opened, and Ruel appeared. The crowd cheered loudly!

The show began with his song “Only Ever,” then smoothly transitioned to “Not What’s Going On.” This got the crowd moving, dancing, and singing along! The stage lighting was bright and vivid, and Ruel’s stage presence was on point!

Ruel continued the show with beloved songs from his earlier era, like “Dazed & Confused” and “Younger.” He sang with such passion and soul.

Ruel did an acoustic breakdown on guitar and keys for his songs “No News Is Good News” and “Even Angels Won’t.” His fans listened to every lyric while singing along and waving their flashlights in the air. You could feel the connection to the music.

When Ruel performed “YOU AGAINST YOURSELF,” the whole crowd was so energetic! Ruel also mentioned during the show that Atlanta might be his favorite show so far on the tour!

Ruel also sang “Growing Up Is__…,” “Don’t Say That,” and “Painkiller.” He wrapped up the show with an encore of “Japanese Whiskey” and “Kicking My Feet.” Ruel thanked all his fans for coming to the show and thanked his band and crew members too!
