Ahead of the release of his highly anticipated album, Evangeline vs. The Machine, Eric Church has announced his “Free The Machine” tour.
“From front to back, these shows will be different than anything you’ve ever seen or heard from us before,” shared Church in a video message sent directly to Church Choir members. “I cannot wait to see you on the road for this tour.”
The 22-stop arena tour will kick off in September and run till the middle of November. Church will be joined by Elle King, Marcus King Band, and Charles Wesley Godwin; support will vary by market.
Tickets to all the shows will be available on May 9th, except for the Philadelphia date which will be May 16th. Purchasing will begin at 10 a.m. local time on their respective dates. To combat ticket scalpers and computers, Church is taking measures to ensure all pit tickets are available only to his “Church Choir Members” and will be picked up at the will-call office, where eligible.
