Tyler Childers Announces Arena Dates on “Mule Pull ’24” Tour
It’s onward and upward for Tyler Childers who is officially graduating to the arena level on his upcoming “Mule Pull ’24 Tour.” Already booked for big appearances during the final months of 2023 including sold out shows at Red Rocks in September and the Rupp Arena around New Year’s, Tyler Childers will now be heading to Europe for some select shows, and then playing arenas in the United States at the beginning of next year.
Childers is set to play arenas in San Diego and Inglewood, California, the BOK Center in Tulsa, The Moody Center in Austin, Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, arenas in Birmingham and Baltimore, as well as the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville for two nights April 18th and 19th, 2024. The tour will end with Tyler playing Madison Square Garden in New York—a bucket list venue for most any entertainer.
Tour support will include S.G. Goodman, 49 Winchester, Allison Russell, Hayes Carll, Sylvan Esso, John R. Miller, Shovels & Rope, Wayne Graham, Abby Hamilton, and Medium Build.
Tyler Childers is readying the release of his latest album Rustin’ In The Rain on Friday, September 8th, and previewed the album on the Tuesday night Grand Ole Opry September 5th, inviting album collaborators and songwriters S.G. Goodman, Margo Price, Erin Rae, and The Travelin’ McCourys with him.
To help limit professional reseller activity, the “Mule Plow” tour will use Ticketmaster’s Face Value Exchange for resale. Fans will be able to use the Exchange to resell tickets to other fans at the original price paid. Tickets for all shows (excluding New York) will be mobile only and restricted from transfer. In New York, tickets will be transferable, but Face Value Exchange is still encouraged to maintain original pricing.
Tickets for the U.S. dates will be available for pre-sale starting next Wednesday, September 13 at 10:00am local time through 10:00pm local time, with general on-sale following Friday, September 15 at 9:00am local time. General on-sale for the Knoxville show will begin September 15 at 12:00pm local time.

Odd that he seems to be almost intentionally alienating his fans around the time he wants to play arenas. I hope he decides to release a good album again.
September 6, 2023 @ 7:01 pm
For every “fan” that is not into his recent releases, there are 100 new fans to take their place. The streaming numbers are growing almost exponentially, and the concerts are selling out everywhere.
September 6, 2023 @ 7:15 pm
100 new fans for every one who preferred his pre-shroom induced music? Cool story bro. I liked him better on the coke and booze.
September 6, 2023 @ 8:42 pm
The fact he IS selling out arenas indicates you wont be missed. Or me either.
I am glad to have seen him when i did. Arenas are not my thing.
September 6, 2023 @ 7:59 pm
This whole Tyler Childers journey is one wild adventure. My brain is trying very hard to process the whole scene, like it’s become a unique entity amongst the movement that is dominating streaming right now.
September 6, 2023 @ 8:07 pm
My only problem with Tyler these days is he’s recording stuff that he’s played for years and releasing it as “new music” even then he’s leaving out some of his heavy hitters like Jersey Giant (even if Elle King covered it recently), Oneida, and Her and the Banks among others. I just want an album where all the stuff is brand spanking new
September 6, 2023 @ 8:42 pm
I’m just hoping he keeps his ticket prices more reasonable than Zach Bryan.
Logged into Zach’s prevalent today and noped out of there after seeing what he was asking (~200 with fees for nosebleed seats, 400 as you got closer to the front, and platinum prices beyond that).
September 6, 2023 @ 8:54 pm
Yeah, it got out of hand really fast. I was in the Buckeye Superfest sale and I’m pretty sure a lot of these ‘platinum’ tickets were raising in price right before my eyes. I think they sold down to 500 tickets and then just called whatever was left ‘platinum’. Not sure how 2nd row nosebleed is platinum.
The demand was incredible though.
September 7, 2023 @ 8:12 am
Agreed. I logged in and the only tickets available were $375 general admission. I like Zach Bryan, but nowhere near THAT much.
September 6, 2023 @ 11:21 pm
Last tour date is end of May, leaving Tyler plenty of time around the 4th of July to hit the upper Midwest, so I’d expect him at the Iowa State Fair, the Maryland Heights, Missouri shed, whatever they do in the Twin Cities, Ravinia or TInley Park, and headlining a night at Milwaukee Summerfest.
September 7, 2023 @ 5:11 am
I wonder if hes gonna do a fall tour and play some shows in the south. I saw him a couple of weeks ago and I’m already wanting to see him again
September 7, 2023 @ 5:41 am
Off topic but did anyone catch Grady Smith’s new YT video where he compares this moment in country music with Nirvana in the early 90s?
Thought it was a point well made, even if I don’t feel the comparison is absolutely true.
September 7, 2023 @ 6:01 am
Yes, he did a very good with that video. I would compare this moment with the Metallica surge (their 5th LP compared to ZB 4th LP); which is similar to the Nirvana surge. Both albums are still in Top 200. I wonder if this ZB will still be hot 30 years from now….
The whole section where he delves into the cyclical nature of music trends is also fascinating and something I think about often.
A SCM/Grady interview would be a great discussion….
September 7, 2023 @ 7:18 am
We’re definitely having a “moment” in country music right now. My only issue with that comparison is that is the exact comparison myself and others made in 2014-2016 with the rise of Sturgill Simpson, which is where all of this really started. This was underscored/emphasized when Simpson covered Nirvana’s “In Bloom” on his album “A Sailor’s Guide to Earth,” which ended up being nominated for the all-genre Grammy Album of the Year. What we’re seeing now I don’t think has a comparable in popular music. It’s unprecedented.
Here’s me writing about “The Nirvana Moment” in 2016:

Great points and great article!
September 7, 2023 @ 7:24 am
I’m going to look for that interview because Trigger has endorsed that comparison in the past. He wrote a great article specifically about Stapleton’s performance on the 2015 (I think) CMA’s and how it lit the spark for all the incredible changes since. I commented on the parallel with the “Teen Spirit” phenomenon of the early 90’s and got a few folks, including Trigger, to back me up. So if Grady Smith is making any money off this theory he owes me some royalties…. Hah
September 7, 2023 @ 7:34 am
Dammit. Trigger beat me to it. Now I owe him any royalties I get from this….
