Eric Church has played in massive venues all over the country, but this year he will headline amphitheaters, for the first time. The North Carolina native announces his The Outsiders Revival Tour, kicking off on June 22 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Church is bringing more than a dozen opening acts with him for select dates, including Ashley McBryde, Jelly Roll, Lainey Wilson, Parker McCollum, Travis Tritt, Midland and more.
“When I approach touring, I’m always inspired by a new experience, a new way to gather, to express ourselves sonically and visually,” Church says. “Whether it’s solo, in the round, double down; being able to bring a different perspective has always brought out our best creatively.
“Well, we have never done an outdoor summer tour,” he continues. “Never headlined amphitheaters. Never brought a summer experience to your town that featured artists we want to share the summer with. Until now. See you in the season of sunshine with some fellow outsiders that shine brightest when the sun goes down.”
Church has plenty to do in 2023 besides get ready to tour. The North Carolina native is hard at work on Chief’s, located in downtown Nashville, a six-story restaurant, bar and music venue. Church is opening Chief’s in partnership with real estate and hospitality mogul, Ben Weprin.
“I’ve had a blast working with Ben on the design of Chief’s,” Church says of the new space. “Like everything we do with our music, the same care and consideration has gone into every detail of this place. It will be unrivaled downtown. I can’t wait to play here..”
See a list of all of Church’s upcoming shows below. Tickets for The Outsiders Revival Tour will be available on Friday, January 20, at 10:00 AM local time via Ticketmaster. Find more information at EricChurch.com.
