Billy Strings: Summer Tour 2025

Grammy award-winning picker, Billy Strings, is hitting the road in 2025 with a string of dates lined up for this spring and summer.

The newest installment of concerts will kick off on April 3 with a trio of shows at The St. Augustine Amphitheatre in Florida. He'll continue on with single-night appearances in Virginia, Missouri, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana and more.

Excitingly, the Michigan native will be doing multi-night stops in a variety of markets, such as Savannah, GA; Cary, NC; Grand Rapids, MI; Rosemont, IL; St. Louis, MO and the legendary Rupp Arena in Lexington, KY.

Come July, Strings will be heading down under for a run of dates in Australia and New Zealand. Starting July 15, Aussie fans will be able to catch the bluegrass prodigy in Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane City and Auckland.

In addition to his growing list of headlining dates, he'll also be on hand as part of the 2025 edition of Willie Nelson's Outlaw Music Festival Tour, including shows all throughout May in Arizona, California, Washington, Idaho and special appearances at LA's Hollywood Bowl and The Gorge Amphitheatre.

Famously, Billy Strings doesn't bring any supporting acts with him for his touring efforts.

Rather, the Americana Artist of the Year takes up the full three hours for he and his band to perform cuts from their acclaimed catalogue, as well as a slew of beloved covers from across Americana, bluegrass, country and more.

Traditionally, Strings' shows are split into two acts with a short intermission between, followed by a rousing encore.

Historically, Billy Strings doesn't tend to stick to any specific setlists when it comes to his live shows. In fact, the revered tunesmith often tailors his shows to the city or crowd he's playing for, making each and every concert unique to that audience.

Lucky Strings fans will be hoping to catch some of the skilled musicians' biggest hits and beloved favorites, including 'Red Daisy', 'Midnight on the Stormy Deep', 'Long Journey Home', 'Miss the Mississippi and You' and more.

Attendees will also likely be pining for a handful of tunes from his most recent 2024 record, Highway Prayers, such as 'Seven Weeks In Country,' 'Leadfoot,' 'Leaning on a Travelin' Song' and others.
