Eric Church Announces Arena Tour with Elle King, Marcus King Band And Charles Wesley Godwin this Fall

On the boot heels of his new album Evangeline vs. The Machine arriving Friday, Eric Church is releasing tickets for his “Free The Machine Tour” a week later on May 9

The fall tour includes 22 arena dates beginning Sept. 12 at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and ending Nov. 15 at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, California. Church will be joined across various dates by special guests Elle King, Marcus King Band and Charles Wesley Godwin.

 “From front to back, these shows will be different than anything you’ve ever seen or heard from us before,” shared Church in a video message sent directly to Church Choir members. “I cannot wait to see you on the road for this tour.”
 
Tickets to most shows are available to the general public beginning May 9 at 10:00 AM local time (the Philadelphia date will be on sale May 16). Premium members of the Church Choir will have early access to tickets through the Church Choir presale beginning May 5 at 10:00 AM local time. A registration presale via Seated, available to non-premium Church Choir members and the general public, kicks off May 6 at 10:00 AM local time.

Thwarting scalpers and keeping tickets in the hands of the faithful continues to be a priority for Church, who is reserving all pit tickets on the “Free The Machine Tour” for premium Church Choir members. Pit tickets will be will-call only to deter resale (except where prohibited by state law). Messina Touring Group is the promoter, Jay Williams at WME is the agent and management/tour are handled by Q Prime South’s John Peets and Fielding Logan.

Out Friday, Evangeline vs. The Machine is Church’s first new music since 2021’s Heart & Soul triple album. One of the format’s most fearless and respected storytellers, the new record features the lead single “Hands of Time,” which debuted as the most-added song at country radio and earned Church a new personal record for first-week impact with 135 stations.

 In addition to the fall run, Church has a busy schedule of shows this spring and summer beginning with two “To Beat The Devil” residency shows at London’s Royal Albert Hall on May 16-17. He will then take over Nashville’s Pinnacle for a sold-out, two-night installment of “Evangeline vs. The Machine Live” on May 23–24. Church recently celebrated the first anniversary Chief’s, his six-story venue on Nashville’s famed lower Broadway.
