Eric Church, perhaps in an effort to scoop up the tour name of “The Gather Again Tour,” is one of the first major artists to announce a post-pandemic tour!  Check out the video below as Church makes the announcement himself.  The tour kicks off in September, with a full list of dates listed below the video.  It will feature an “in-the-round” setup at arenas across the country.

With 55 dates, most states will get a show, though it’s noticeable that Georgia was passed over from this tour.   This leads one to wonder if this was politically motivated, or a state with one of the largest country music fan bases couldn’t come to terms with his booking agency.  We have reached out for comment, and will update this story if we get a response.  While he doesn’t talk about the Georgia voting issue, he does talk about another hot topic in today’s society in the press release we received.

“It became very clear to me that the only way to really get back to normal is through vaccinations. You’ve got to get needles in arms,” he shared with Billboard in the April 3 cover story depicting the superstar getting his own second dose of the vaccine after consulting with epidemiologists and industry experts.

“I just want to play shows,” he continued. “Politics’ job is to divide – that’s how you win elections. Those things that unite us are music and sports. The times when, whether you’re a Democrat or Republican or whatever, you throw your arm around the person next to you. We need that. I need that.”
