GREENVILLE, S.C. (WSPA) – Popular political commentator Tucker Carlson will make a stop in Greenville in September.
Carlson is embarking on his first live tour, and will appear at Bon Secours Wellness Arena on Thursday, Sept. 26.
The tour is Carlson’s first live outing since being fired from Fox News in 2023.
The network announced it was parting ways with Carlson, who had one of the most watched shows on the network, after settling a defamation lawsuit with Dominion Voting Systems. Carlson, among other anchors, repeatedly made false claims about the 2020 election and about voting machines made by Dominion.
Carlson’s role in the suit was reportedly small, though text messages he sent to others at the network made headlines.

Following his exit at Fox News, Carlson inked a deal with social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, for a new show on the platform.
Joining Carlson at Bon Secours Wellness Arena will be Marjorie Taylor Greene, a far-right representative of Georgia’s 1th congressional district.
Greene, like many far-right Republicans, once made headlines for claiming space lasers caused a wildfire, and in recent years critical of America’s investment in aiding Ukraine in its war against Russia, and has made multiple attempts to impeach President Joe Biden over his handling of the country’s southern border.
Also expected to appear is Kevin Roberts, president of The Heritage Foundation, a far-right political think tank and lobbying group.
The group has made headlines in recent months for its Project 2025, a collection of proposals including national restrictions on abortion, removing anti-discrimination protections for LGBTQ people and eliminating efforts to combat climate change.
