Friday and Saturday’s shows were already sold out, according to Johnson’s website.
Cody Johnson’s next scheduled tour date is set for Thursday, August 18 at Citi Field in New York, New York with the Zac Brown Band.
The Texas native is scheduled to make two appearances on the Today Show in the coming weeks. First, he will perform his current single “Human” for television viewers on August 17 and on Labor Day, September 5 fans can catch his appearance to perform his platinum-selling, multi-week #1 song “’Til You Can’t.”
