Tyler Childers’ 2025 tour will include Target Center and Alpine Valley stops

Another unexpected country music star outside of the Nashville hit-making machine à la his pal Zach Bryan, the lilting voice of Kentucky singer Tyler Childers will ascend to arena headliner status in 2025 when his newly announced On the Road Tour hits the Target Center on April 9 .

Tickets for the Wednesday night concert in Minneapolis go on sale Friday at 10:00 a.m via Ticketmaster at prices yet to be revealed, with pre-sale options starting Tuesday.

Another reservation on Children’s trip which may also be of interest to Twin Cities fans: Indie-rock outfit Hold Steady, featuring several ex-Minnesotans, will open for him later this year for a special two-night stand on the 26th-27th. June outdoors at the Alpine Valley Music Theater in East Troy, Wis., about a five-hour drive from Minneapolis. Tickets for these shows will also go on sale this week.

Childers, 33, has enjoyed an unusual career rise via TikTok, Spotify and other viral outlets, with such country-bumkin-y hits as “Feathered Indians” and “All Your’n” as well as the romantic heart-sucker “In Your Love,” the latter from last year’s Grammy-nominated album “Rustin’ in the Rain.” He sold out the Armory in Minneapolis and sparked strong demand at ticket outlets the last time he toured for that record, after having previously played a two-night stand at First Avenue in 2019.
