Chris Stapleton has had to postpone the opening date of his All-American Road Show Tour after key production equipment was damaged en route to the first show, originally scheduled for June 4, in Greenville, South Carolina.
According to an update from Stapleton’s official social media accounts, the show has been rescheduled to Wednesday, July 9.
“Critical pieces of our tour production were damaged beyond repair while en route to Greenville. Unfortunately, without that equipment, we are unable to put on the show,” the statement reads.
The message didn’t specify how the production was damaged.
The superstar’s team assured fans, “All previously purchased tickets will be honored for the new date.”
Fans who are unable to attend the rescheduled date should contact their original point of purchase. For Ticketmaster orders, refund requests must be submitted by Tuesday, June 24.
Chris Stapleton’s 2025 All-American Road Show will now start in Charlottesville, Virginia on Friday, June 6.
“Greenville, we appreciate your patience and apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. We look forward to seeing you on July 9,” the message reads.
Mike Campbell & The Dirty Knobs, Marcus King, Nikki Lane, Grace Potter, Maggie Rose, Brittney Spencer, Allen Stone, Marty Stuart & His Fabulous Superlatives and The War & Treaty will appear as special guests on select dates of the All-American Road Show.
This leg of the All-American Road Show is set to wrap up on October 11 in Hollywood, Florida.
Chris Stapleton has been hitting the road this year with George Strait, bringing their powerhouse live show to stadiums across the country. The country legends recently took the stage at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on May 10 and Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh on May 31.
The stadium run will come to a close with three final shows: June 14, 2025, at Highmark Stadium in Buffalo, NY; June 21, 2025, at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, MA; and July 19, 2025, at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA.
Stapleton was recently recognized by Billboard for having the No.1 country album of the 21st century (for the first 25 years) with his landmark 2015 LP, Traveller.
Since its debut in May 2015, Chris Stapleton’s Traveller has logged an impressive 525 weeks on the Top Country Albums chart (as of the May 31, 2025 chart). It’s one of only two albums in the chart’s history to spend over 500 weeks on the list—the other being Willie Nelson’s 1978 classic Stardust, with 551 weeks since the chart began in 1964.
Since hitting the Billboard Top Country Albums chart on Nov. 21, 2015, Traveller has dominated for 29 weeks.
