Chris Stapleton announced another leg of his acclaimed “All-American Road Show” on Wednesday. For a third consecutive year, the Grammy-winning country artist will spend his summer playing arenas and amphitheaters throughout North America.
Stapleton has a smattering of dates slated for February, March and April, included a March 30 gig opening for George Strait at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium. But the bulk of this year’s “All-American Road Show” dates kick off July 9 at Allentown, Pa.’s PPL Center and conclude Nov. 2 at Louisville, Ky.’s KFC Yum! Center.
Along the way, Road Show alums Margo Price, Brent Cobb and Brothers Osborne will join Stapleton as openers, as will newcomers The Marcus King Band and Kendall Marvel.
Stapleton expansive 2019 tour follows recent road success. He grossed $38.3 million and $32.7 million worldwide in 2017 and 2018, respectively, earning him a spot on Pollstar‘s Year End Top 100 Worldwide Tours both years. In the third-to-last show of his 2018 tour, a Nov. 2 gig at Madison Square Garden, Stapleton sold 13,072 tickets for a gross of $1.14 million.
The 40-year-old musician has matched his live popularity with critical and commercial achievements. His triple-platinum debut album, 2015’s Traveller, won the Grammy Award for Best Country Album, as did its follow-up, 2017’s platinum From A Room: Volume 1. The five-time Grammy winner is up for three honors at next month’s awards, including Best Country Album for From A Room: Volume 2 and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for “Say Something,” his collaboration with Justin Timberlake that marked Stapleton’s first appearance in the top 10 of Billboard‘s Hot 100.
Represented by WME and Red Light Management, Stapleton — who co-wrote smash hits for years for country stars including Kenny Chesney, George Strait and Luke Bryan – has become one of country’s biggest draws since releasing Traveller in 2015.
“I think we’re doing better than what we could have hoped for right now, putting out this record,” Stapleton told Pollstar when he was named as a Hotstar that year. “We’re just going to keep walking through the doors that are open and keep making progress out there on the road. I don’t have a crystal ball.”
