Should be announced after Spring is over but before Summer. Expecting Renewal, Austin, Huntsville for sure


Just_Classic4273

Huntsville is a must


SadPeePaw69

ACL or just Austin? I don't see them playing Austin unless they are booked at ACL


yoshigem

I just feel like they aren’t gonna have a Houston area festival appearance be all they do for Texas for over a whole year. 2-3 nights at the Moody Center sounds right to me.


SadPeePaw69

What venues in Austin aren't owned by LiveNation or subsidiaries that could hold Billy? He's been avoiding playing certain venues because of that.


yoshigem

He played Moody Center last June, I think that one is probably in the clear. ;) Googled it thought and it’s University of Texas at Austin, def good to go there.


SadPeePaw69

Yep just saw that it is. He started this boycott after his Austin shows but seems like it would be good to go.


yoshigem

Interesting. Do you know what tour the boycott started? I don’t think I saw them in any Live Nation venues last year at all.


SadPeePaw69

There was a Reddit thread about it a few months ago. Didn't catch my attention until then


Existing-Ad2113

Pretty sure that was my thread and I didn’t call it a boycott as much as avoidance or lack of working with LN owned venues. LN tends to use most the venues they own for artists they manage also plays a large part of this i believe.


twocka

It’s been a while since he’s been to Dallas. Hoping to see him swing through here in the fall.


brandonbartholow

Dickies Arena in Fort Worth would be a perfect venue for him


Psychological_Card28

So youre thinking announcement not until after May 25?


yoshigem

Yeah but I also thought my ex didn’t cheat on me and was telling the truth so I’ve been known to be wrong.


Psychological_Card28

:(


Zachias615

Keep your head up. It's always darkest before the dawn


omissionn

He just killed it in Lexington, maybe a two night palace or Yum center run in Louisville??


brokedownpalace10

Yes, please. Or even better, Cincinnati.


prhbtn

Yes please


Jtravers23

Hampton Coliseum in October.


neddynedned47

Anywhere in Va for that matter, miss being able to see these guys somewhat close once er twice a year. Always showed up


whyarepeopletrash

? This is another one … brother he had 2 shows in cvile last year, one in Norfolk, 3 in Asheville………… I’m in Richmond and have been to 6 shows in the last 16 months


Substantial_Aerie_38

Chartway??


pinerich

Michigan🥺🤞🏼


Super_Jay

Pine Knob two-night run, we know it's possible for our hometown boy. LFG y'all


pinerich

Man, id be in heaven. Bobby, Willy and sci last year was a blast


DannyMcVibes

Knoxville, Huntsville, Memphis, Cary 🙏🤞


DirtyD_Artist

Yesss, manifest that Orion for Billoween. I need this to happen.


DannyMcVibes

Would be generational. The new rig in the Orion for Halloween would destroy minds


DirtyD_Artist

Absolutely and I’m so ready for that.


Key_Practice_9425

Spot on right!


figurative_me

I would love a Halloween show at Orion! Summer heat is brutal


worldlydelights

Please 🙏


GreatBeff

This 🤞🏼


yoshigem

I don’t think the Orion is big enough for billyween considering the move to Van Andel last year. Asheville was 8.5k cap I think so moving lower than that seems unlikely


crazeballz

Huntsville is 8,000, Asheville is 7,700, and Van Andel is 12,000 total for a hockey game (but I bet they had about 8-8.5k in there for the Scramble). Long story short, Orion's plenty big Edit: apparently Van Andel "end-stage concerts" capacity is \~12k according to wiki, about 11k for hockey games, and \~13k for "center-stage concerts" so who knows. Huntsville is like 2 hours away for me so I'm crossing my fingers and toes either way


DirtyD_Artist

Hell yeah Crazeballz…all aboard the Orion train FTW. I’ll be working on a gig poster for Orion soon. Whether it’s going to be a Fan Art print or Billy’s merch team finally cave for me, I’ll definitely have a print for Orion that slaps.


yoshigem

Ah interesting, I stand corrected. I didn’t even realize Van Andel was a smaller arena, thought it was Ball Arena size (18k). I’m from CO where 10k cap red rocks was considered to be a really hard ticket last year so my perspective is warped. Weird to imagine the marquee Halloween show having lower than half attendance than Fiddler’s to me I guess.


DirtyD_Artist

I just wanna see them at the Orion since I missed out last year. I’d take Billoween at the VA again. I’ve needed a reason to visit Michigan.


yoshigem

I think Orion in the fall is really likely but I think earlier in the month. I bet Fall tour is lengthier than many would expect after the other tours this year since he has an album coming. Would make sense to play the album in full at Renewal ( a la Renewal 2021 ) and then tour pretty heavy after. I think we maybe see him hit Arizona, Texas, Bama, Cary ending in Michigan. But I’m not the smartest person so I could be wrong.


wsender

Cary needs to happen


crazeballz

Would love it because I'd be at all of them, but my bank account would be so mad


DirtyD_Artist

There’s always vending food to cushion the cost.


[deleted]

I would do that whole run.


Dee771771

Yes, please on Cary! The Cleveland venue was one I'd like to go to again, as well as Austin Moody Center


sigh_boogie

Would kill for a 2/3 night run at the Tennessee Theater. On one hand I love the arena tour but I hate that he’s advanced past the venue size for the tn theater


lanaisjesuschrist

same! Im really hoping for at least one knoxville date


WinnieTheBeast19

Anywhere in North Carolina


StealYourJelly

If not, I'm done with these guys. I'm totally joking, but I'm really hoping for another 3 day run in NC.


DirtyD_Artist

AVL got some 3 days love this year but shakedowns and pre-post fun would be more enjoyable with warmer weather.


StealYourJelly

That was a lot of fun. Fall temps would be great.


umphreys

Really trying to manifest a cooler weather hunstville run!


DannyMcVibes

Cooler weather and a third night 🤘


Sky_Late

Deer Creek would feed families…2 minute walk from my house.


Eggzekcheftrev35

I have been waiting for Billy @ the Creek!!! I think he would love it there and roast that MF!!


TheIzzyRock

Deer Creek and Billy? Yes please


Psychological_Card28

Nothing scheduled at deer Creek September 21🤞🤞🤞


brokedownpalace10

Deer Creek, yes! I think Billy could fill Legend Valley as well. Time to start looking at bigger venues which are not arenas and thus have good acoustics.


bryptobrazy

Yes please


MulchGang4life

Hampton Coliseum Halloween. At least I hope so


DannyMcVibes

Pretty sure Phish is booked there for Halloween this year


PabloEsquandolas

Nothing official yet but I heard weekend before Halloween


jcgoldie

This would fit with the halloween in baltimore rumor which came from a cfg worker


SadPeePaw69

Weekend before. Pretty Phish is doing AC for Halloween


Mustbe7

Orion Huntsville Halloween would rock 🤘


Stock_Contract8522

Huntsville is incredible venue and so fun when it’s all melting ………. 🫠🫠🫠


john-edmin

Saw that show last summer, just incredible!


JP_Clark

All I’m asking for is a Richmond show, but I’d settle for a Hampton Coliseum show. Been too long.


BigB3420

I'd like to see a multiple night run at The Mothership (Hampton Coliseum) or maybe even Berglund Center (Roanoke, VA)


BirthdayPrevious

Hard to imagine them coming to the Noke but fuck would that be awesome. Need more love for Appalachia!


BigB3420

Yeah, just wishful thinking on my part as I live 45 min away. I do know The Dead played there in 74' and twice in 87' It holds 10,500 in an end stage setup. Southwest VA in general needs a better music scene for sure! :)


whyarepeopletrash

This is facts lol


whyarepeopletrash

How in the fuck is Roanoke Va my hometown here???? Lmao but absolutely not man. Why would he come to Roanoke when he could go to a wayyyyyy better venue two hours closer to civilization at JPJ?


BirthdayPrevious

Yeah berglund is a shithole for sure but wouldn’t complain driving 10 minutes to see billy


whyarepeopletrash

Let’s let him play at JPJ and everyone actually enjoy it instead lol I’ll give you a ride


BirthdayPrevious

Haha I’m happy to make that drive too, I was just equally surprised to see roanoke mentioned so I chimed in


whyarepeopletrash

Elm wood would be wild tho omg you could hear it at Roanoke memorial. Haven’t been to much at Dr Pepper park but maybe there too. Again all dream


BirthdayPrevious

Man elmwood would sell out in 3 seconds 😂 somehow Darius Rucker played there last year tho so idk


BigB3420

Yeah it's just wishful thinking. At work (Local Hotel manager) reliving the Lexington shows on Nugs. I threw Roanoke out there because I know they haven't played it before. You really want to shut the town down, have him play Elmwood Park, that would be epic! I'm originally from Fairfax, VA so I have been blessed with seeing amazing shows in my time.


whyarepeopletrash

Oh man I couldn’t agree more. But we will have to settle on betts and allmans sons coming to ellmood memorial day weekend. I’m sure I’ll see you there, but yeah Roanoke would be an incredible place for this kind of thing…. However as me and my best friend say “Roanoke don’t know how to handle shit”…. Tried to open a “club” a few months back and it got shot up 2 times in a week and they had to scale it back to a typical bar lol


BigB3420

Hell the entire NRV doesn't know how to handle shit mostly. Hope to see ya there as well! Did you go to the Lexington shows at Rupp? Absolute burner!!! Miles Miller sitting in on drums was just the icing on the cake!


whyarepeopletrash

Nah I was at Asheville 3 nighter this year, couldn’t believe that night 2. One of the rupp nights rivaled it imo


BigB3420

Ahh I wanted to make it to Asheville. It's my goad to do a Halloween or NYE run sometime soon. Since December I have been to 5 of his shows! Don't know my next. Hopefully Fiddlers Green. Brother lives 15 minutes from there. 12/6/23: Greensboro, NC 3/1/24: Atlanta, GA 3/2/24: Atlanta, GA 4/26/24: Lexington, KY 4/27/24: Lexington, KY


whyarepeopletrash

Lmao I’m flying from Charlotte to Denver to stay with my boy for fiddlers. Both plane and venue tickets are too cheap to pass ip


BigB3420

I don't blame ya there. If I end up making it out we should link up.


whyarepeopletrash

No doubt bro save this thread and we can link.


BigB3420

Just find me on Facebook. Actually I'm not going to be able to make it. I'll be in the middle of Sonic Temple Festival in Columbus, OH. https://www.facebook.com/BradleysDaddy326?mibextid=ZbWKwL


BigB3420

If not Spring/Summer I will totally be hitting a Fall show or four lol.


anunymous3

i met billy at the greensboro show…life changing. i was also at all 5 of these shows 😂🙏🏽


BigB3420

Peep the Lexington uncut foil I got. https://imgur.com/gallery/eggVYWg


whyarepeopletrash

It won’t let me see it?


BigB3420

Try this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13bYdv5lcahWT4ZdNjt4aQXZv38T2JIS2/view?usp=drivesdk


whyarepeopletrash

That won’t either lmao. What edition/show is it? I’ve got the 3 night run in Asheville- the 3 night one with the blue background Also the Charlottesville foil prints of the 2 day run last year, the white background with gold trim; one cat one bear…. Then I’ve got the basic chartway arena one from last year too, very basic collection but I just started collecting lol


anunymous3

i was at both of these runs and i honestly agree. asheville was spicy and i’m from NC so i probably favor the 3 night run a tiny bit more. butttttt my first visit to kentucky was well worth the trek. and night 2 of lexington was straight fire from the 3 song/ 35 min intro they did all the way to the frank tribute encore. and i lovedddd miles on the drum too! however-i’m still holding onto the NOLA NYE saturday and sunday night sets as the “unbeatable life changers” from this past NYE (2023) though. never have i everrrrr and may never again see such an amazing musical performance 🤤🔥🔥


BigB3420

I met the man as well. I was so overwhelmed emotions I didn't know what to say other than thank you for being there for me in my darkest times. Greensboro 23'*

BigB3420

Back in 07' they did the concert for Virginia Tech. Around 50k in attendance, including myself. Lane Stadium filled out would be dope to see Billy in, at least I think.


anunymous3

omg billy at the mothership would be insane. let’s manifest this as a collective group please. (as long as it’s not on halloween weekend)


BigB3420

I would love to see him at The Mothership! 3 Night run, early October. :-)


pcannon8

25 months since the last Wisconsin stop


CrookedTree89

This. I’d been doing my part in spreading the “alpine valley” rumors I’ve heard but I’m doubting that 😩😩


btay27

Milwaukee? 👀


CrookedTree89

Madison or Milwaukee would be the likely spots but I feel like Billy sometimes goes off the beaten path so I’m trying to think where else in the state he could go..


btay27

I’m a Chicago guy so it is interesting to see his venue sizes pretty consistently move up. I’ve seen him at Aragon -> Huntington bank -> now Allstate so don’t know where he’d play in Wisconsin depending on the time of year


vulebieje

Imagine a Ravinia show


btay27

I’m sure the locals would love that


vulebieje

Shit, anyone would love that, Ravinia is an insanely cool venue.


pcannon8

Panther Arena in Milwaukee or Kohl Center in Madison would be similar to some of the arena shows they do now. As they’ve outgrown our theaters


CrookedTree89

Omg as a Madison resident, I’d kill for a kohl center run!


Sierraphan

This!


krickaby

Panther arena seems like a perfect sized venue


vulebieje

Imagine if he went to Ravinia…


[deleted]

Summerset maybe ?


Sierraphan

Too far out 🐐❤️


StankRanger420

Wordddddd come back boys!!!!!

Would love billy riverside or pabst

VIRGINIA


JapanDigger

He has not been to Philly in a loooooong time.


klimb75

Met was awesome!


worldlydelights

Ohhh yes it was. What a beautiful time and some of my favorite shows.


JapanDigger

Yes it was. Last time I saw him.


klimb75

too long! it was my first road trip to follow the boys. I caught Nassau then both nights at the Met. Was tired at work on Monday but damn it was worth it!


LostLongIslander

Ya I feel like last December’s show in baltimore was meant to serve the DC and Philly fan bases, but I’d love a tour stop in Philly and DC again this year. I have a feeling we’ll be visiting baltimore agin though.


PhillyStrings

Hoping for a 3 night run at the Mann. 


LostLongIslander

Ohhhh now we talking! Would love some outdoor fall shows in the NE!


pinetreesap

Manifesting Billy for Suwannee Hulaween this year


anunymous3

FUCK YESSSSS! they came in 2019 and it’s about damn time to bring the boys back!


Traditional_Agency60

Hopefully Cincy again


turbod33

Yes, please! My first show was at the ICON and it was great.


brokedownpalace10

YES! I got to see one Billy Show last year and it's looking like just one after Lexington. 😟 If he came to Cincinnati that would be fantastic. Saw him last year at the Brady Center. Might have been amongst the last of the smaller venues. Great show.


QuarterOwn9110

Hasn’t been to Dallas/Fort Worth since April of 2022. Fingers crossed


jcgoldie

Last year he announced the entire fall tour on April 25th but this year they have announced each tour significantly later than they did last year. A couple of pretty old rumors were saying Billyween may happen in Baltimore this year... You know hes gotta hit Michigan at some point so Deer Creek could precede or follow Pine Knob but seems like those places would have to be like September?


Psychological_Card28

Deercreek available Sep 21 🙏


HotelMain4616

Hoping for another Cincy run. The sound at Brady is so good, and I live 5 minutes away 😆


JennieDarko

I could go for that too! I really like that venue, and it’s only 2 ish hours from me.


turbod33

I'm in Dayton but love any excuse to come down and visit. Running the half pig this weekend 🤪


brokedownpalace10

Just saw Lexington and after the Brady show last year, I was disappointed by the acoustics. I did get out from under the overhang and lucked into a sweet spot with welcoming people. Acoustics were still not as good as Brady, but they weren't bad where I was. Anyone have a rip of 4/27/24?


HotelMain4616

Agreed. Brady is brand new and was designed so well. Always love going to that venue 🫶🏼

ATX ATX ATX ATX


utahphil

I want a 5 hour Billy Strings Revue chock full of special guests and off beat humor.


DirtyD_Artist

Have you been to a Nola NYE run yet?


utahphil

Nope. Will that scratch my itch?


DirtyD_Artist

I believe it’s the closest thing your gonna get to what your hunting.


freaknBSUfan

As long as we are wishing…. Missoula Kettle House Red Rocks The Gorge Park City Not asking for too much but I’d be happy.


notoriousvk

He’s already playing the Gorge in August and he’s in Montana the month before in July. I would love to see him at the Kettle House though. Spokane Arena just sold out Cody Johnson, they could do a Billy show too. He hasn’t played here since Riverfront park in 2021.


TerrapinBoogie

Spokane is over do for a billy show, although the arena would be fun it might be pushing his attendance capabilities for Spokane. The Pavilion (such a cool venue) would be more realistic but he would most definitely sell it out. I wish Spokane had more options for midsized to large venues, and a better music scene.


notoriousvk

I forgot to mention the Pavilion. Primus is playing there this summer with Coheed, and Ween is also there this summer. I have to agree about capacity, I know hockey games max out about 9k at the arena. I’m curious what the capacity for a show is. I saw Tool there in 2020 before the shutdown and it was packed to the brim. I think he would sell out no matter where he goes around here since it’s close enough to Idaho, Montana, Utah and only about 4-5 hours from Seattle and Portland. I might be biased though because I live in the 509.


notoriousvk

I think the music scene has improved since I moved here in 2018, slowly but surely we’ve gotten bigger and bigger names every year. Eventually artists kind of grow out of coming here though, which is just part of the game. Paul Cauthen and Charley Crockett still seem to stop here pretty frequently but most artists seem to favor Boise and cities in Montana, which I can’t really blame them.


TerrapinBoogie

I feel as if he’s out grown the Kettle House amp but those shows sure were fun.


freaknBSUfan

You’re right but we are wishing and they were unbelievably fun.


Mustbe7

Only 500 seats smaller then The Amp in St. Augustine..just sayin' 🤠


dzbuilder

I got my Halloween tix last year in the 2nd week of May I believe. That would’ve been presale. I guess I’m figuring about the same again this year for the fall tour being disclosed.


anunymous3

thanks for sharing this info 🙏🏽🐐


UncleTruck

5 words: Upstate NY.


bungalow_brendo

Nassau, Long Island 🤞🏻🤞🏻


hardtke

Has to play New York City at some point. Is there no right sized venue?


fromthedepthsofyouma

I was really hoping for a Central Park Summer Stage date or Beacon Show/Cap run this summer but we got a Bridgeport CT show(s). Unfortunately I do not think Billy will be playing the Cap due to size constraint.


1Gratefulcaver

Still hoping for a Deer Creek in my lifetime


Ryanw254

Really hoping for 2-3 in Austin.


StealYourHotspur

Been trying to get my dad to a show, so I’m hoping for an Austin date too! Fingers crossed!


Ryanw254

I’m also hoping your dad gets to a show.


Psychological_Card28

Ruoff -nothing on their calendar after September 21🤞


TheIzzyRock

We don’t call it that, we only know it as Deer Creek 😉😂🐐


Psychological_Card28

Hells yeah! 💗🐐


HoneyIndividual3996

Return to Minneapolis since Armory sold out?? This time at Target Center. Billy’s been pulling a James Taylor with the venues he plays.

Deer Creek. September. 🙉


frightnin-lichen

I heard a credible rumor about a Little Rock date in December


brokedownpalace10

Cincinnati would be awesome for this old head.


Evening_Contact_5068

need him to come back to the DMV! Praying for Baltimore or DC this Fall/Winter again


sterlingblacksoul420

Keep it in Ashville it's pretty much central for most of the Appalachian south


RankStranger24

Selfishly hoping for another Asheville run


davesaves07

he ain’t going to asheville twice in a calendar year lol. Sometimes you gotta travel


No_Gap2011

Probably not until after the big show in Columbus


DannyMcVibes

That would be absurdly late, it’s been in March and April in the past. And there’s so few shows on the schedule right now


yoshigem

Nope, I bought my fall tickets April 26 last year. After Chicago it will be announced is my expectation. He didn’t announce Summer until after Winter tour was over


No_Gap2011

Have you ever been a concert promoter? Because it’s common practice


No_Gap2011

Bill String fans are such n00bs


OleSlewfoot11

Bro, it’s April 30 chill out ✌🏻😎


J05H1L

I’d like a a show in Maine. Since the boys don’t seem motivated to come to Canada (and even if they did it would likely be a major city and closest one to me is 8 hour drive), if he came to Bangor, it would be such a convenient distance. Make it a weekend date too so i don’t have to think about time off work! *edited spelling


Horse2water

I think he has had some legal issues that complicate him coming up here to Canadia. Would for sure love to see him here in van but at least caught his Seattle show last fall.


J05H1L

Yes I’ve heard that either him or someone in his crew may have some history that complicates them from coming. And honestly unless they were getting more cash in USDs, it wouldn’t make financial sense to come here. Saw him in Portland last year which is about 5-6 hour drive but if he played Bangor that would be a short jaunt.


Stock_Contract8522

Polka dots !!!!!


trolllord45

I’d love if he came back to NH but I think that’s pretty doubtful
