ERIC CHURCH IN THE ROUND: THE GATHER AGAIN TOUR
Tickets On Sale Friday, May 7 at 10 a.m.
Reigning Country Music Association (CMA) Entertainer of the Year and current Academy of Country Music (ACM) Entertainer of the Year nominee Eric Church announced this morning he is returning to the road with a full arena tour. As first shared with the Church Choir (fan club) and by Billboard magazine earlier today, The Gather Again Tour kicks off this fall visiting 55 cities throughout the U.S. and Canada and includes his debut performance at Orlando’s Amway Center on Friday, March 4, 2022. Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, May 7 at 10 a.m.
Making the most of the long-awaited opportunity to “gather again,” for the first time in his career, Church will perform in an in-the-round setup, with the stage at the center of each arena floor in order to accommodate as many fans as possible. Church Choir members may access tickets early via pre-sale on Tuesday, May 4 at 10 a.m. local time.
Church, praised by Rolling Stone in the lead review of the April 2021 print issue for how he “has maneuvered the Nashville system, remaining dedicated to the power of down-the-center hit making even as he has helped expand the parameters of the genre,” has passionately taken a leadership role in the industry’s return to touring.
“It became very clear to me that the only way to really get back to normal is through vaccinations. You’ve got to get needles in arms,” he shared with Billboard in the April 3 cover story depicting the superstar getting his own second dose of the vaccine after consulting with epidemiologists and industry experts.
“I just want to play shows,” he continued. “Politics’ job is to divide – that’s how you win elections. Those things that unite us are music and sports. The times when, whether you’re a Democrat or Republican or whatever, you throw your arm around the person next to you. We need that. I need that.”
Additionally, Church will appear in an upcoming PSA promoting vaccine education, produced by ACM Lifting Lives, The Ad Council and COVID Collaborative. During the ACM Awards broadcast on Sunday, April 18, the PSA premieres where Church will also perform a song off his forthcoming “Heart & Soul” triple-album project.
The trio is set for release in the coming weeks, with “Heart” available everywhere Friday, April 16, “Soul” available everywhere Friday, April 23, and the middle album, “&,” available exclusively to the Church Choir on Tuesday, April 20.
