Eric Church is going big for his 2017 tour: 50-plus stops, no opening acts, new ways to limit scalper access and more.
Announced Tuesday night (Aug. 9) just prior to Church’s first of two shows at Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado, Church’s 2017 Holdin’ My Own Tour is set to begin on Jan. 13, 2017, in Lincoln, Neb., at the Pinnacle Bank Arena. The trek will run through late May, wrapping up with two back-to-back nights at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn. For the first time, Church will not be bringing a support act on tour with him; instead, he will play two full sets, with an intermission in between.
“The way this album came together mandated we release it as a surprise, straight to our fans, as it was important for me to deliver the music the same way the creativity hit me — directly and swiftly. What I didn’t anticipate is that it left me scratching my head a little, as this year was supposed to be spent writing.” Church says in a press release. “What this year’s open schedule did afford us was time to think through the way the fans experience our music live, and it was important to us that we find a way to stick to these same principles when it came to approaching our shows, down to the way they go on sale.”
