Sturgill Simpson Announces 2nd Leg of “Living The Dream” Tour
Okay all you Texas, Rocky Mountain, and West Coast Sturgill Simpson fans that were bitching you had no tour dates on the left side of the Mississippi, the Sturgill Simpson train is going to be coming your direction hard and heavy, so stretch out your ticket ordering fingers because he’s just announced a new slew of dates and many of the shows will be selling out fast.
Following up a sold-out theater tour earlier this year, Sturgill announced the first leg of the “Living The Dream” tour in mid-June covering most of the eastern U.S. and some Europeans stops. Now Sturgill will be bringing his live show out west ahead of his highly-anticipated major label release on Atlantic Records.
Included in the new dates are two appearances at the historic Ryman Auditorium on October 30th & 31st, so plan to get your trick or treat on early, appearances during both weekends of the Austin City Limits Festival in early October, and a show for lucky bastards in Tuscaloosa, Alabama on October 15th that will include Jason Isbell and Brandy Clark—now there’s a lineup you can’t screw with.
It was also recently announced that Sturgill Simpson has signed a publishing deal with Downtown Music Publishing, meaning the Kentucky-born songwriter is now fully vested in the industry and will be ready for a big push with his upcoming record. Downtown Music Publishing represents Old Crow Medicine Show, Rosanne Cash, and Brandy Clark among others.
You won’t want to wait until the last minute on this one because many dates will sell out.

Well, I guess I’ll be the guy to complain about the lack of a Calgary (or Alberta) show. I’ll have to see if I can make it out to the Vancouver show.
July 20, 2015 @ 9:35 pm
Beat me to it. I’m tempted to make the drive to Vancouver though just for this.
July 21, 2015 @ 8:43 am
Come down to Spokane and see the show here! I am not sure how big the venue in Vancouver will be but the Spokane venue is pretty small
July 20, 2015 @ 7:11 pm
Guess we’re just skipping over New Mexico then huh?
July 20, 2015 @ 7:17 pm
Well I hate that will not be home in Georgia for the Atlanta show. Will be in Greenville NC on 10/22 watching my alma mater play Temple. Hate that I have to miss the Show but I’m looking forward to see East Carolina in prim time.
July 20, 2015 @ 8:28 pm
Pirate here too Chris!
July 21, 2015 @ 6:57 am
It fell perfectly for me. On a UGA off weekend. I will be there!
July 21, 2015 @ 6:59 am
Yeah a crappy football game will be better
July 20, 2015 @ 7:22 pm
I want to see him live, but gosh…I don’t know if I can stomach having to go to the ACL festival to make that happen. I’ll cross my fingers that he performs somewhere outside the park while he’s in Austin.
July 21, 2015 @ 4:48 pm
I moved from Austin to Denton a few months back, so I’m bummed he’s not playing in Dallas or Ft. Worth. I’m a huge fan, but I haven’t seen him play since he was still in Sunday Valley.
July 27, 2015 @ 7:54 am
I got to see him at WinStar with Jason Isbell and he played Billy Bob’s earlier this year. The sound at Billy Bob’s was not great. He’ll be back around soon. You should come out and see Cody Jinks at Boondocks on August 8.
July 20, 2015 @ 7:22 pm
Hey, we need some Mississippi dates! Specifically, on the Gulf Coast near Biloxi!
July 20, 2015 @ 7:27 pm
Yes an L.A. show! His last show sold out months before the show so I’m going to find out how to get presale tickets this time.

Good for him! I remember a comment he left here on SCM a long time ago about financial woes as he tried to release Metamodern. Looks like he’s doing alright.
July 20, 2015 @ 7:44 pm
Got my tickets to seem him next week in Pittsburgh with old crow. Can’t wait
July 20, 2015 @ 7:58 pm
Gladly I’m one of those lucky bastards in Tuscaloosa that will get to see Isbell, Sturgill and Brandy Clark haha!
July 20, 2015 @ 8:03 pm
Holy shit! Buffalo NY! We hardly get anything non-mainstream up here, so I’m definitely going to try to get tickets for that show. Fingers crossed!
July 20, 2015 @ 8:38 pm
Can’t wait! I’ll be there
July 21, 2015 @ 2:17 am
Same here
July 22, 2015 @ 3:43 pm
Will be there with bells on. Can’t fucking wait…
July 22, 2015 @ 3:53 pm
You know, to anyone that replied to me, do you know if you have to be at least 21 to get into the Town Ballroom? Thats what i heard from a friend. If so I’m unfortunately out 🙁
July 22, 2015 @ 3:56 pm
16 and under need an adult
July 22, 2015 @ 4:04 pm
Great! I’m 18 so it works. There’s still the issue of not having a car and living 45 minutes away but I’ll figure it out lol
July 22, 2015 @ 4:17 pm
Well where abouts you located?
July 20, 2015 @ 8:28 pm
Goddamn it…all I read was “Sturgill Simpson Announces” and I was hoping it was the next release. So happy and then so sad, all so very quickly…goddamn it…
July 21, 2015 @ 12:00 am
Spokane, just after my birthday- can’t wait!
July 21, 2015 @ 6:07 am
I have a ticket for the 9/23 show at the Lincoln Theatre (capacity 1,250) in DC. Apparently, that show sold out in hours, so they added a second show for 9/24. There are still tickets available for the 9/24 show.
Kacey Musgraves is playing the same venue on 10/16. There are still tickets available for that one. The tickets are a little more expensive than the Sturgill shows ($45 vs $35), but it would seem that in the DC area, even though Kacey Musgraves’s profile is higher, Sturgill might be the bigger live draw.
July 21, 2015 @ 6:07 am
Tuscaloosa is my show. I live in Montgomery and Tuscaloosa is only 90 miles away.
I can also easily hit the Atlanta and Nashville shows.
July 21, 2015 @ 1:55 pm
Tuscaloosa show is opening for Jason Isbell. SS and JI on the same night. HellYeah!!
July 21, 2015 @ 6:22 am
got 6 tickets to the ashvegas show! It is sold out but not yet shown as that on sturgills site but no tickets found on ticketmaster that is for sure
July 21, 2015 @ 7:01 am
Just saw him for the second time at Forecastle over the weekend. Amazing show.
July 21, 2015 @ 7:42 am
Already bought tickets to the Asheville Show
July 21, 2015 @ 8:06 am
Purchased my tickets for the Maryville, TN show back in the spring. Can’t wait.
July 24, 2015 @ 10:30 am
Looking forward to this one as well myself!!!

[…] of which, Simpson added more dates to his current […]

Living in Humboldt I’m used to this; would you rather drive to portland/eugene, or the bay area?
*sigh*
still worth it.
July 22, 2015 @ 9:37 am
Humboldt is much closer to the Bay Area than to Portland.
July 22, 2015 @ 10:51 am
true, but I don’t always get a choice in the matter
July 21, 2015 @ 4:53 pm
I’ll be seeing him in Edinburgh next month.Can’t wait.I really do appreciate artists such as Sturgill,Ryan Bingham,Old Crow Medicine Show,Steve Earle and others regularly coming over here.
July 24, 2015 @ 8:47 am
I just bought my ticket for the Atlanta show. The Tabernacle is the best smaller music venue in the country.
July 24, 2015 @ 9:08 am
Got mine too! Agreed on Tabernacle, really good venue. Always love going to shows there.
July 24, 2015 @ 11:37 am
I’ve seen many shows there over the last six years. From Sammy Hagar to Guns N Roses to The Flaming Lips to Lenny Kravitz to Alice in Chains. Always a great time.
July 24, 2015 @ 10:29 am
I am such a lucky girl – I have tix to the Maryville show at the Shed, and now tix to Ryman on Halloween!!!!! WOOOHOOOO!!!!!!
