Church hinted at this diverse group of guests through a series of social media posts featuring snippets of their music. Cody Jinks will open four shows in August, and later in the run, guests include red-hot Lainey Wilson, Jelly Roll, and Jackson Dean, as well as Hailey Whitters, Paul Cauthen, and Whiskey Myers. Ashley McBryde, Parker McCollum, and Morgan Wade will appear at various June dates, while Koe Wetzel, Travis Tritt, and Muscadine Bloodline will be onstage at July shows. Where Church has eschewed opening acts on recent tours, instead playing marathon shows with two sets, the Outsiders Revival Tour will offer a plethora of guests changing from show to show. Stops include Cincinnati’s Riverbend Music Center, Washington’s Gorge Amphitheatre, and a two-night stint at the Wharf in Orange Beach, Alabama, on Aug. (although California is notably absent from the itinerary).
Kicking off June 22 in Milwaukee, the Outsiders Revival Tour runs through the end of September and finds Church visiting virtually every part of the U.S.
Calling back to the title of his 2014 album Outsiders, the trek will focus exclusively on open-air venues in North America (his first outdoor tour in 13 years) and showcase a rotating group of opening acts. Eric Church is taking things outdoors this summer: The country singer-songwriter launches the Outsiders Revival Tour in June.
