Eric Church Recruits Ashley McBryde, Hailey Whitters, Ray Wylie Hubbard + More for 2023 Outsiders Revival Tour
Eric Church has a few new tricks up his sleeve for his newly announced 2023 Outsiders Revival Tour . The country star has recruited 18 different acts to join him for his three-month-long trek, which kicks off June 22 in Milwaukee.
He'll be joined by many familiar faces, including newly-inducted Grand Ole Opry member Ashley McBryde , Lainey Wilson , Parker McCollum , Travis Tritt , Midland , Elle King , Cody Jinks , Morgan Wade , Hailey Whitters and Jelly Roll on select dates.
Some lucky concertgoers will also be treated to opening sets from an array of burgeoning acts and established artists from the alt-country, Americana and Red Dirt scenes.
"Desperate Man" co-writer Ray Wylie Hubbard , Whiskey Myers , Muscadine Bloodline , Paul Cauthen , Koe Wetzel , Jackson Dean , Shane Smith & The Saints and The Red Clay Strays round out Church's curated list of openers for his lengthy headlining trek.
This eclectic mix of opening acts is just one of many fresh new elements of Church's upcoming live shows.
"When I approach touring, I'm always inspired by a new experience, a new way to gather, to express ourselves sonically and visually. Whether it's solo, in the round, double down; being able to bring a different perspective has always brought out our best creatively," shared Church. "Well, we have never done an outdoor summer tour. Never headlined amphitheaters. Never brought a summer experience to your town that featured artists we want to share the summer with. Until now. See you in the season of sunshine with some fellow outsiders that shine brightest when the sun goes down."

Eric Church Officially Announces ‘The Outsiders Revival Tour,’ Featuring Cody Jinks, Whiskey Myers, Ashley McBryde, Koe Wetzel And Many More
LET’S GO.
As first reported by Whiskey Riff, Eric Church officially announced The Outsiders Revival Tour .
Set to kickoff this summer in Milwaukee with Elle King and run through September in Tampa, Florida, Chief is bringing along an incredible cast of 18 different rotating openers with him on his first headlining amphitheater tour, with the likes of:
Whiskey Myers, Cody Jinks, Jelly Roll, Ashley McBryde, Koe Wetzel, Lainey Wilson, Midland, Parker McCollum, Travis Tritt, Elle King and Paul Cauthen, plus Jackson Dean, Morgan Wade, Muscadine Bloodline, Shane Smith & The Saints, Hailey Whitters, Ray Wylie Hubbard and The Red Clay Strays rotating as openers on select dates.
I mean, I knew he was already planning to bring along some heavy hitters, but damn… this is gonna be insane.
View this post on Instagram A post shared by Eric Church (@ericchurchmusic)
Needless to say, it’s going to be a helluva run for the North Carolina native, who is constantly pushing the envelope when it comes to his live shows and the live music experience for fans.
Of course, the original Outsiders World Tour occurred in 2014, following the release of his 4th career studio album, The Outsiders.
However, after quite a few years of running solo, playing 3-hour sets all on his own, Chief is finally getting back to having some openers on his upcoming summer tour. And not just any regular opener… some of the best artists in country music right now, which is one of the coolest parts about this announcement.
Eric says it will be a whole new ballgame for his team on this outdoor summer tour trek, headlining outdoor amphitheaters across the country for the very first time:
“When I approach touring, I’m always inspired by a new experience, a new way to gather, to express ourselves sonically and visually.
Whether it’s solo, in the round, double down; being able to bring a different perspective has always brought out our best creatively. Well, we have never done an outdoor summer tour. Never headlined amphitheaters.
Never brought a summer experience to your town that featured artists we want to share the summer with. Until now. See you in the season of sunshine with some fellow outsiders that shine brightest when the sun goes down.”
In one of the previous teasers, he included a clip from his 2013 Caught in the Act live album, where he details his first amphitheater concert in Charlotte, North Carolina, so this venture seems to also be some sort of nod to that early inspiration in a way:
“I still remember my first amphitheater concert. I was 16-years-old.”
With 27 cities on the schedule, if he’ll be anywhere near you with any one of his incredible openers, don’t miss it. He is truly one of, if not the, best live performers in all of country music.
This is easily the tour of the summer in my opinion, and I can only hope an album announcement won’t be too far behind… he released his most recent triple album, Heart & Soul , in April of 2021.
Tickets for Eric’s Church Choir members will be available starting Tuesday, January 17th at 10 a.m. (which is definitely the best route if you want to avoid a Ticketmaster fiasco trying to buy tickets), with all tickets going on sale to the general public next Friday, January 20th at 10 a.m.

About Eric Church
Eric Church’s most recent critically acclaimed and chart-topping project, his Heart & Soul triple album, is available everywhere now. Featuring the results of a marathon session during which he spent nearly a month writing and recording a song per day while sequestered in rural North Carolina, the trio features his latest Gold-certified No. 1 “Hell of a View” and recent Top 5 hit “Heart On Fire” as well as his latest single, “Doing Life With Me,” climbing the charts at Country radio now.
Just as unique as Church’s approach to recording and releasing music is his tenacity on the road. His latest outing, the 55-city The Gather Again Tour , offered fans an in-the-round show and earned the Billboard Music Award for Top Country Tour. Church also performed one-of-a-kind headlining stadium shows at Milwaukee’s American Family Field and Minneapolis’s U.S. Bank Stadium in 2022 and took the field at Tampa Bay’s Raymond James Stadium to perform the National Anthem with R&B star Jazmine Sullivan ahead of Super Bowl LV in 2021. During 2019’s Double Down Tour he played back-to-back nights of two unique shows in each market sans opening act, giving every city’s fans six-plus hours of his iconic music. The tour also featured a massive stop at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, where he broke the venue’s concert attendance record with more than 56,000 fans in attendance and became the first artist to sell out the venue with a solo lineup.
A seven-time ACM Award winner, four-time CMA Award winner (including the 2020 award for Entertainer of the Year) and 10-time GRAMMY nominee, Church has amassed a passionate fanbase around the globe known as the Church Choir as well as a critically acclaimed catalog of music. His previous project, the Gold-certified Desperate Man , earned a GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album (his third nod in the category). Prior releases include the Platinum-certified Sinners Like Me (“How ’Bout You,” “Guys Like Me”) , Carolina (“Smoke a Little Smoke,” “Love Your Love the Most”) and Mr. Misunderstood (“Record Year,” “Round Here Buzz”), the Double-Platinum certified The Outsiders (“Like a Wrecking Ball,” “Talladega”) and the 3x Platinum-certified Chief (“Springsteen,” “Drink In My Hand”) , as well as 30 Gold, Platinum and multi-Platinum certified singles.

Eric Church Concert Review | Blossom Music Center | Cuyahoga Falls, OH | 06.24.23
The man, the myth, the legend, the country megastar rode into Blossom Music Center for a sold-out show on Saturday, June 24! Fans rolled in, too, but at a much slower pace.
The venue once again embarrassed itself with the worst traffic management in the biz. Yes, this reviewer has traveled to at least a dozen Blossom-sized amphitheaters across the country, and traffic, by nature, is horrible. Blossom consistently wins first place for ‘Absolute Worst.’ Once the 2023 votes are tallied, it is undoubtedly a win for Blossom (by a landslide).
The fun side of things is that folks stuck in said cluster F* know how to make the most of a less-than-desirable situation. Blasting music (many choosing Eric Church), passengers drinking “road pops” (NOT CONDONED BY CLEVEROCK STAFF!), and of course, hundreds, if not a thousand people make their way to a not-so-private area to urinate while waiting LITERALLY 2-3 hours to park (When you’ve gotta go, you’ve gotta go!)
After an impressive set from up-and-comer Ashley McBryde, the anticipation began for Mr. Church to take his place on stage. Last time through town, the big-timer played two shows in downtown Cleveland. He could have easily sold-out two nights at Blossom but chose to give more markets some love, too.
Yes, at the outset, Church was called a “legend.” He played homage to perhaps the biggest legend produced in Northeast Ohio, the late, great Mr. Michael Stanley. Church dedicated the show to Stanley and even wore a shirt bearing his name. A touching tribute, indeed.
The headliner kicked off the evening with “Chattanooga Lucy” from his 2015 record, ‘Mr. Misunderstood.’ The record edged out the most prominently featured album on his setlist with six tunes from it performed, barely edging out 2011’s ‘Chief,’ of which five songs were included.
Eric’s most recent projects were two back-to-back releases that dropped one week apart in April of 2021 titled ‘Heart’ and ‘Soul’ respectively.
His first new(ish) term reared its head right after the opening number as he ripped into “Bad Mother Trucker” from ‘Soul.’ The song is a salute to female truck drivers but could celebrate the women making an impact in any male-dominated industry.
Perhaps this is why a clever shirt at the merch stand read “Good girls never miss Church.”
Out of the gate, Church’s stage presence and the way he commanded the full attention and energy in the crowd showed why he’s one of the top names in country music and sells out venues everywhere he plays. Maybe it is his voice; perhaps it is his good looks; the way he makes his guitar ‘talk’; his dry humor in his between-song banter; the way he moves on the stage…Or, ALL OF THE ABOVE. Pick a reason. Any reason. Come up with your own. This guy is REAL country while also appealing to the fans of classic rock or even pop song lovers.
This reviewer’s favorite song “Drink in My Hand” came just five songs into the set. I stopped jotting down notes and observing things for my review and dance my butt off while singing along to every word. I didn’t have a care in the world as Church belted out:
“No need to complicate it, I’m a simple man / All you got to do is put a drink in my hand”
*Of note, by estimation, about half of the folks in the audience could relate to this song in the moment because they did, in fact, have a drink in their hand!
Other highlights for this writer included the title track from ‘Mr. Misunderstood,’ “Smoke a Little Smoke” (from 2009’s ‘Carolina’ record) and “ Cold One.”
McBryde returned to join Eric on “Drowning Man.” Damn, these two sound good together!
The lone cover of the note was Little Feat’s “Sailin Shoes.” The song was released in 1972, but was new to me!
Set-closer “Pledge Allegiance to the Hag” brought the audience begging for more as Church exited the stage. This was one “Church” service where attendees wanted to stay long after the man on stage was done delivering the good word.
Of course, few shows are complete without an encore! The three-song ending included another one of this writer’s favorite tunes, “Springsteen,” (the song that first introduced me to Mr. Church’s music) followed by “Livin’ Part of Life” and “Holdin’ My Own.” (Country singers sure do love shortening with apostrophes!)
I forgot to check my watch (probably because I don’t wear one) but my internal clock since the show was around 100 minutes. Great, but only about 1/3 of the time I spent in traffic combining the time coming in and leaving. (Do better, Blossom!)
As for Eric Church…Could he even possibly do better? Probably not.

By Maxim Mower

All week long, Eric Church has been teasing a big announcement with a series of cryptic posts across his socials. Today, The Chief has confirmed fans’ suspicions by announcing a blockbuster 2023 summer tour, The Outsiders Revival.
Since the original Outsiders World Tour in 2014, Church has been a lone wolf when it comes to playing live. But his 2023 The Outsiders Revival tour will feature a star-studded line-up of special guests, including Lainey Wilson , Midland , Whiskey Myers and more.
Also joining the sprawling tour will be Cody Jinks , Hailey Whitters , Jelly Roll, Ashley McBryde , Koe Wetzel, Parker McCollum , Travis Tritt, Elle King and Paul Cauthen.
Completing the line-up will be Jackson Dean, Morgan Wade, Muscadine Bloodline, Shane Smith & The Saints, Ray Wylie Hubbard and The Red Clay Strays.
Coming off the back of receiving the Billboard Music Award for Top Country Tour, Eric Church is charging into his 2023 set of shows with a tank full of momentum.
The tour kicks off with a special Summerfest performance in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on June 22, which will be supported by Elle King. This is set to be followed by a show the next night in Detroit, Michigan featuring Ashley McBryde and The Red Clay Strays.
Commenting on the mammoth tour, The Chief underlined his determination to try a new approach, “When I approach touring, I’m always inspired by a new experience, a new way to gather, to express ourselves sonically and visually.
Whether it’s solo, in the round, double down; being able to bring a different perspective has always brought out our best creatively”.
The tour's eclectic mix of supporting artists will make each night truly distinct, with the opening acts varying from show to show.
The line-up features a number of established country heavyweights, such as Midland and Ashley McBryde, along with a suite of rising stars, from Parker McCollum to Jelly Roll, who will no doubt be performing his first ever Country Radio No. 1, ‘Son of a Sinner’ .
