Tyler Childers Releases New Tour Dates Amid Rising Demand & Sold-Out Shows

Don’t look now, but reigning Saving Country Music Album of the Year winner Tyler Childers is beginning to blow up as a live act. He’s starting to sell out larger venues across the country, and folks are remarking on the swelling numbers they’re seeing at his shows. Two night stints at the Manchester Music Hall and Headliners Music Hall in Kentucky have been sold to capacity, as have his two shows coming up the first weekend of June in North Carolina, and both of Tyler’s shows coming up in Texas in July.
After the response to the Sturgill Simpson-produced record Purgatory, it’s all beginning to fall into place for the Kentucky-based songwriter. To meet demand, Tyler Childers has just released a new batch of tour dates, which include a couple of junkets over the Canadian border, and a run up the West Coast for those who’ve been bellyaching for it.
Tyler is also playing the Tumbleweed Festival, and the Blue Ox Festival, Newport Folk Fest, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, taking a run over to Sweden, and all kinds of other stuff during his busy 2018 schedule. He’s going to be all over the place, but you may want to get on dates early before they sell out, and before he gets so big you miss your chance to see him in an intimate setting.

Saw him last year just absolutely steal a show from Colter Wall.
I’m devastated that Charlotte sold out over a month ago and I was too stupid to jump on it. Hopefully I can find a scalper that was a little too optimistic when buying.
June 5, 2018 @ 10:21 pm
I think it’d be sick if they did an album together one day.
June 4, 2018 @ 11:46 am
Still trying to figure out why the Tumbleweed festival is being billed at Kansas City, MO, when it’s an hour away in La Cygne, KS.
June 4, 2018 @ 11:55 am
Yep, I stupidly did not buy tickets early to his show here in Charlotte this week. The venue, which I’m familiar with, has a capacity of about a thousand. Cody Jinks sold out the same venue (a year or so ago) but not until the week of the show. Tyler sold out several weeks ago. So, yeah, he’s definitely in demand.
As an anecdote, when I was watching Midland / Pardi at another venue in Charlotte earlier this year, I got to talking with a couple other guys, rather young, in front of us about our favorite shows we’ve seen lately. And one of the guys said that he loved Tyler Childers and that I had to see him live. Oh well, I’ll have to wait until next time.
June 4, 2018 @ 11:56 am
Stone cold, right there. Can’t wait for the new record.
June 4, 2018 @ 12:03 pm
Good for him. So much deserved.
June 4, 2018 @ 12:27 pm
The Ticketfly hack has pretty much shut down new shows and ticketing onsales for the Troubadour. Hope there’s time to get a ticket once that settles.
June 4, 2018 @ 1:00 pm
Counting down for Seattle!
June 4, 2018 @ 1:08 pm
There are still some tickets to a post-Lollapalooza show at Schuba’s Tavern in Chicago, August 2.
June 4, 2018 @ 8:59 pm
Dude – Good post. I just grabbed 2! This is gonna be a good one! Those Lola after-shows are always fun.
June 4, 2018 @ 1:51 pm
Will see him in Goteborg, Sweden 🙂
June 4, 2018 @ 3:13 pm
I’ve been waiting for him to come to Montana for the past few years. I guess today is my lucky day!
June 5, 2018 @ 5:25 am
I’ll be at the Pub Station show, I just pray the crowd shuts up so I can hear. That place is notorious for being full of people buying a ticket to talk to their friends.
June 5, 2018 @ 8:38 am
The crowd is usually quiet enough at the Top Hat, but I’ve only really seen Lucero there so it could be different for Tyler. The Pub Station kinda has a reputation for having a regular crowd who buys tickets just to talk over the music and get blackout drunk.
June 5, 2018 @ 9:41 am
I’ve always been jealous of Missoula’s venues, we’ve seen Isbell and the Truckers at the Wilma in the past two years, but 11 hours one way is a hell of a road trip for a concert. I’m happy the Pub Station is trying to build a good live music scene in Billings but they’ve got an uphill climb.
June 4, 2018 @ 4:34 pm
NY and NJ! What is this life of luxury?! Yesss.
June 4, 2018 @ 5:13 pm
P.S. I just bought a ticket and when i saw it was 21 bucks, I said “wow, that’s a great price!”
Come to find out it was actually 16 bucks, and the service charges were 5 something…
This boy was raised right. He could easily fetch double that and still sell this tour out.
June 7, 2018 @ 3:29 pm
I first saw him right after he released his album for $12, then a two month later i saw him again at a venue twice as large for $20. im not complaining one damn bit ill pay whatever he charges, its worth it. i just find it awesome how fast this dude is taking over. seeing him in july at Newport folk with literally all of my favorite artist sans colter whos playing the next day but i couldnt get tickets
June 4, 2018 @ 4:43 pm
It’s just amazing that this is happening on the back of a relatively inaccessible album for people without refined mature taste.
Which leads me to believe that there are more developed, mature listeners out there than we could have realistically estimated. That is a great, great sign for the future of country music.
June 5, 2018 @ 6:25 am
Actually, I’m of the opinion, that it is a really accessible album and once people start listening more, they then are hit with how deep it is. That is staying power and a strength of his with all his music.
June 4, 2018 @ 7:49 pm
Thinking of getting Louisville tickets on the secondary market to make up for my bad night in Morgantown.
June 4, 2018 @ 11:44 pm
Yeah Scoot Inn and Delmar Hall!
June 5, 2018 @ 1:10 am
This kid is such a hipster.
June 5, 2018 @ 8:36 am
Sorry Honky but I think you got your wires crossed. I believe you meant to leave this comment on my last Midland article.
June 5, 2018 @ 3:15 pm
And you are contrarian
June 5, 2018 @ 4:48 pm
This kid is the opposite of a hipster. Go look at his social media and you’ll see pictures of him checking traps and holding dead animals. Something hipsters are not into.
June 5, 2018 @ 5:10 am
Tyler is the one to see if u want a real person not a fate..I saw him in a little club in fayettville,wv over a year ago when only about 20 people showed up that nite,then again that summer at mountain fest(bout 2200 people). Got to meet him,and talked a little while,Tyler and my son Cecil,his wife Tina have become friends,so much so that Tyler wrote song about them. No not going to tell which one..lol..Make sure that u go see him u will not be sorry..he is a true wordsmith,his voice is going to save country music ( this is the real country music that started it all ) he is doing what Hank did back in the early days. Tyler is bringing a all new and also younger crowd to the music see in the way the Grateful Dead or Phish has done over the past 30 years..yes he does have followers to his shows..next Tylerheads or Phishheads..lol. Just go buy his music listen then see a show u will understand all the buzz..Doc ????
June 5, 2018 @ 5:18 am
Sorry bout the spelling ..sometime it put up words it wants when u type..lol
June 5, 2018 @ 5:39 am
In the DC area, it looks like he’s jumped from the Rock and Rock Hotel to the 9:30 Club (the big rock club – capacity 1,200). Typically, the next venue has been the mid sized listening room like The Birchmere or The Hamilton. Even Isbell and Sturgill headlined one show at The Birchmere before quickly going on to the 9:30 Cub and then bigger venues.
June 5, 2018 @ 6:12 am
I’m seeing him with John Prine on Saturday. I cannot wait. Should be an incredible night of music.
June 5, 2018 @ 6:23 am
Thank you Trigger for keeping us informed! I didn’t want to get my hopes up too high, but when you mentioned Canada and the West Coast I had a hard time not scrolling to the bottom looking for a Missoula date. I just signed up for presale tickets that go on sale tomorrow for the Top Hat Bar. It hold maybe 300. I’ve gotten to see Corb Lund, James McMurtry, Parker Milsap and Whitey Morgan from less than 10 feet away. I can’t wait for October 30!! Thanks again for all you do Trigger!
June 5, 2018 @ 6:27 am
What a year it has been for him and completely deserved.
June 5, 2018 @ 6:27 am
Mine too! Missoula is starting to get some great music coming through in the last few years
June 5, 2018 @ 8:43 am
I really hope the show stays at the Top Hat, it would be cool to see Tyler in such a small intimate location. Logjam Presents has moved several shows of similar artists to the Wilma if there’s a ton of demand. Not that the Wilma is a bad venue, but I wanna see Tyler Childers at a bar before he gets too big for it.
June 6, 2018 @ 4:20 am
Agreed. I’ll gladly see him at the Wilma the next time he comes through Missoula. Top Hat is so intimate. Some of the most memorable shows I have seen have been there since Logjam took over
June 5, 2018 @ 8:42 am
That wolf shirt is sick as fuck.
June 5, 2018 @ 4:51 pm
Seeing him Thursday night in Asheville! Been looking forward to it for a long time!
June 7, 2018 @ 12:02 pm
Find it kinda odd he’s traveling to Vancouver of all places in Canada. I mean, I’ve got my tickets and will be making the 13 hour drive from Alberta. But I really feel like he would have been better received in the actual country provinces of Canada. Alberta/Sask./Manitoba.. oh well, always enjoy checking out all the weirdos and hippies in Van City anyway.
June 8, 2018 @ 8:17 am
Austin was sold out so just got tickets for St. Louis. Woot!
June 13, 2018 @ 5:02 pm
Sadly it looks like the 11/7 Fillmore show in San Francisco has been canceled.
