Following the July 25 release of the long-awaited Happy Gilmore sequel, Adam Sandler is headed back to North Carolina on his You’re My Best Friend Tour — hitting Raleigh’s Lenovo Center on September 11. Coming off his 2024 Netflix special Adam Sandler: Love You (and after sold-out stops in Charlotte in 2023 and Raleigh in 2022), Sandler brings his signature comedy-and-song show back to North Carolina.

Nearly 30 years after the original film debuted, Sandler reprises his role as Happy Gilmore alongside Christopher McDonald, Julie Bowen, and Ben Stiller, joined this time by Travis Kelce, Bad Bunny, Eminem, and PGA stars Rory McIlroy, Bryson DeChambeau, and Brooks Koepka.

Presale for the tour starts today at 12 p.m. (code TREBLE) with tickets going on sale to the public on Friday, June 27 at 12 p.m.
