At Grand Casino Arena February 7, 2026

With five shows underway of his 2025 Free The Machine Tour, Eric Church is expanding his run into 2026 with 24 new dates, kicking off January 22 and 23 at The Anthem in Washington, D.C. Church will be joined across varying dates by special guests Kashus Culpepper, Caylee Hammack, Ella Langley, Ashley McBryde, Stephen Wilson Jr. and 49 Winchester.

The Free The Machine Tour comes on the heels of Church’s May 2 release of his ninth studio album, Evangeline vs. The Machine. Anchored by the 10-time GRAMMY nominee’s uncompromising vision and genre-defying songwriting, the album arrived to critical acclaim, with Rolling Stone lauding it as “dazzling, challenging, and a masterwork,” while GRAMMY.com dubbed Church “one of country’s most authentic and fearless artists,” adding the album “emphasizes his creative conviction in a musical climate defined by viral moments and AI threats.”

Tickets to all shows are available to the general public beginning next Friday, October 3 at 10 a.m. As always, premium members of the Church Choir will have early access to tickets through the Church Choir presale beginning Monday, September 29 at 10 a.m. Premium members should check their email for presale details and can log in at EricChurch.com or the official Eric Church app to access their unique codes. A registration presale via Seated, available to non-premium Church Choir members and the general public, kicks off Tuesday, September 30 at 10 a.m. To register, please visit EricChurch.com and sign up for your desired date.

This will be Church’s first show ever at Grand Casino Arena.

Church’s 2025 run resumes tomorrow in Green Bay, Wisc. with special guests Marcus King Band.

About Eric Church

A seven-time ACM Award winner, four-time CMA Award winner (including 2020’s Entertainer of the Year) and 10-time GRAMMY nominee – including three nods for Best Country Album, Eric Church has built a passionate fan base through his critically acclaimed catalog of music. Church’s October 2024 release, “Darkest Hour,” saw the superstar signing over all of his publishing royalties to the people of North Carolina to provide immediate relief following the devastation of Hurricane Helene while also providing ongoing funds to support a more resilient future for his home state. The song is featured alongside current single “Hands Of Time” on his forthcoming album, Evangeline vs. The Machine arriving May 2, marking his first new music since 2021’s Heart & Soul triple album (“Stick That In Your Country Song,” “Hell Of A View”). That project followed prior releases including RIAA Gold-certified Desperate Man (“Some Of It,” “Desperate Man”), Platinum-certified Sinners Like Me (“How ’Bout You,” “Guys Like Me”), Carolina (“Smoke a Little Smoke,” “Love Your Love the Most”) and Mr. Misunderstood (“Record Year,” “Round Here Buzz”), Double-Platinum certified The Outsiders (“Like a Wrecking Ball,” “Talladega”) and 4x Platinum-certified Chief (“Springsteen,” “Drink In My Hand”), as well as 32 Gold, Platinum and multi-Platinum certified songs. Church is also a minority owner of the Charlotte Hornets, a co-owner of the iconic Field & Stream brand, has his own SiriusXM music channel, “Eric Church Outsiders Radio,” his own liquor offering, Whiskey JYPSI, and recently celebrated the first anniversary Chief’s, his six-story venue on Nashville’s famed lower Broadway.
