“I stand here still proud to have been Hannah Montana because she made Miley Cyrus in so many ways,” Miley Cyrus expressed during her acceptance of the Disney Legend Award in August 2024. As many Millennials and Gen-Z fans can attest, both Miley and her iconic character have played pivotal roles in shaping their childhoods and adolescence. This deep connection has sparked desires for a potential Hannah Montana 2026 tour, especially with the 20th anniversary of Miley’s beloved blonde alter ego approaching. Miley has even hinted at creative ways to commemorate this significant milestone, igniting the hopes of her dedicated fan base.
“It really was the beginning of all of this,” Miley reflected during a July 2025 interview with Sirius XM. “It’s astonishing to think that I started as a character that I believed I would struggle to move on from. Now, Hannah Montana is seen as a nostalgic figure when I enter spaces, yet I’ve seamlessly integrated into people’s lives beyond the character itself.” Her words resonate with fans who have watched her journey from child star to a multifaceted artist, highlighting the lasting impact of her portrayal of Hannah.
So, is there any chance we might witness a Hannah Montana revival, even if it’s just a limited event? Discover all the insights Miley has shared about this intriguing possibility below.
Are We Expecting a Hannah Montana Tour in 2026?
Unfortunately, for all the enthusiastic Hannah Montana fans out there, there hasn’t been any official confirmation regarding a tour in 2026. During her Sirius XM appearance, Miley mentioned, “I want to design something really special” for the 20th Hannah-versary. This statement leaves room for interpretation, but Miley has indicated that she isn’t particularly keen on touring in the immediate future. While the chances of a full-fledged tour seem slim, there may still be a possibility of a special concert event to honor this milestone.
Is Miley Cyrus Planning to Revive Hannah Montana?
Miley has not announced any formal plans to reboot the Hannah Montana series, yet she hasn’t completely dismissed the idea either. In a September 2020 guest appearance on the “Capital Breakfast with Roman Kemp” radio show, the talented artist mentioned, “Hannah’s in storage.” This enigmatic comment leaves fans wondering if there’s still a chance for a revival of the beloved character.
“You know when something’s like a good vintage T-shirt? Enough time has to go by, and it’s good again,” Miley elaborated. “It goes through that phase where it’s just considered old and undesirable, but eventually, it reaches a point where it becomes cherished once more. That’s why we need to be patient. Hannah is like a fine wine; we must wait until she’s truly ready again.” This analogy reflects Miley’s understanding of nostalgia and how the right timing can rekindle interest in her iconic character.
Is There Interest from Disney for a Hannah Montana Reboot?
As it stands, no representatives from the Walt Disney Company have officially expressed a desire to revisit the Hannah Montana sitcom. However, many of the original cast members remain open to the idea. Jason Earles, who played Miley’s brother, previously revealed that he pitched a “reimagining” of the show during the summer of 2024, although he acknowledged that it wasn’t “the right time” for such a project.

“It was conflicted with some other stuff in development or whatever,” the actor explained to Deadline at the October 2024 premiere of Wizards Beyond Waverly Place. “And it seems that if Wizards does well, it would be a logical next step to revisit the Hannah Montana universe as well.” This statement suggests that there may still be hope for fans yearning for a return to the world of Hannah Montana.
What Are Miley Cyrus’s Reservations About Touring?
Miley has mentioned that she certainly possesses “the physical ability” and has had “the opportunities” to embark on a global tour, yet she simply lacks the desire to do so at this time. Her honesty reflects a deeper contemplation about her career and priorities.
“I wish I had the desire, but I don’t,” the acclaimed Grammy winner shared during a July 2025 appearance on Good Morning America. “I also don’t think that there’s actually an infrastructure that supports artists.” Her insights shed light on the challenges artists face in the current musical landscape, emphasizing her thoughtful approach to her career choices.
