Eric Church has a few new tricks up his sleeve for his newly announced 2023 Outsiders Revival Tour. The country star has recruited 18 different acts to join him for his three-month-long trek, which kicks off June 22 in Milwaukee.
He’ll be joined by many familiar faces, including newly-inducted Grand Ole Opry member Ashley McBryde, Lainey Wilson, Parker McCollum, Travis Tritt, Midland, Elle King, Cody Jinks, Morgan Wade, Hailey Whitters and Jelly Roll on select dates.
Some lucky concertgoers will also be treated to opening sets from an array of burgeoning acts and established artists from the alt-country, Americana and Red Dirt scenes.
“Desperate Man” co-writer Ray Wylie Hubbard, Whiskey Myers, Muscadine Bloodline, Paul Cauthen, Koe Wetzel, Jackson Dean, Shane Smith & The Saints and The Red Clay Strays round out Church’s curated list of openers for his lengthy headlining trek.
This eclectic mix of opening acts is just one of many fresh new elements of Church’s upcoming live shows.
“When I approach touring, I’m always inspired by a new experience, a new way to gather, to express ourselves sonically and visually. Whether it’s solo, in the round, double down; being able to bring a different perspective has always brought out our best creatively,” shared Church. “Well, we have never done an outdoor summer tour. 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.”

A general on-sale for all tour dates listed below will kick off Friday, Jan. 20, at 10AM local time.
