Even on a Wednesday night, Russell Dickerson proved just how big his impact on country music has become, with fans packing out and selling out his debut show at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre.
This monumental tour stop on May 13 featured an epic set list of early fan-favorites like “Blue Tacoma,” “Love You Like I Used To,” and “Home Sweet” as well as newer powerhouse tracks such as “Worth Your Wild” and his latest, “BOOTS” featuring Fetty Wap. As confetti filled the air and fans screamed their hearts out, Dickerson brought the show to a close with massive singalong to the multi-platinum selling artist’s sixth career No. 1, “Happen To Me.”
Dickerson learned the news that the entire Colorado venue was sold out just hours before taking the stage. He stood in the audience before any fans made their way in and took in the reality of the career milestone. Later on, the evening kicked off with performances from Niko Moon and Adrien Nunez before Dickerson brought his signature RUSSELLMANIA energy to the crowd.
The night marked a full-circle moment for the “Sorry” singer, who previously visited Red Rocks while working behind the scenes as a guitar tech for Chris Tomlin. Reflecting on the night in a new Instagram post, Dickerson admitted it was hard to express just how much it meant to him to sell out his very first headline show at such an iconic venue.
“SOLD OUT AT RED ROCKS!!! I have no words,” he wrote. “That was the most insane night of my entire life. Thank you thank you thank you for believing in me and making my dreams come true. WHAT A LIFE BABY!!!!
His wife, Kailey commented “I’ll never get over it 😭.”
Dickerson had several fellow country acts joining his wife in the comment section with congratulatory messages.
Shay Mooney of Dan + Shay wrote, “LETS GO 🔥”
Dustin Lynch said “Let’s gooo RD! 📈📈”
“Congrats brother 💪💪💪,” wrote Jordan Davis.
Drew Baldridge added, “That’s incredible buddy!”
