If you missed country star Chris Stapleton’s 2017 Tampa show, then break out the calendar and circle October 11. That’s when the 40-year-old injecting authenticity back into a genre that so desperately needs is also inserting his “All-American Road Show” into the MidFlorida Credit Union. Songwriter Kendell Marvel (who has penned songs for Stapleton himself) and a yet-to-be-announced special guest will open the gig.
Fan Club pre-sales for the show will begin at 10 a.m. EST on Tuesday, January 29, and the public can nab tickets at 10 a.m. EST on Friday, February 1. Ticket prices have yet to be announced.
Also coming back to Tampa for the 14th time in 16 summers? Dave Matthews Band. The July 24 show at MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre marks the jam band’s first trip back since… well, 2018, and the public can start buying tickets on February 22.
Tickets to both shows are available via livenation.com, and I bet these shows are included in that Live Nation Lawn Pass.
