Get ready, Cincinnati! Country music singer-songwriter, Eric Church is taking over US Bank Arena (100 Broadway St. Cincinnati) with his Double Down Tour this Friday Feb 22 and Saturday Feb 23. Doors open at 6 p.m. and the show begins at 8 p.m., both nights.

Church’s 2019 Double Down Tour will see this month’s American Songwriter cover artist visit 19 cities to perform six albums worth of material across two very different nights of music as well as a stadium-sized tour stop in Nashville, Tennessee, more than doubling the capacity where he previously set Bridgestone Arena’s attendance record upon the finale stop of his Holdin’ My Own Tour in 2017.

In a candid cover-story interview in July, Rolling Stone praised Church for “pushing boundaries in a way that sounds natural and unforced.” The same goes for his touring in 2019, again foregoing an opening act and instead treating fans to dynamic marathon sets across back-to-back nights.

In keeping with Church’s commitment to giving his fan club — known as the Church Choir — priority access, they will be able to purchase tickets during the fan club presale.

To keep scalpers at bay and to ensure tickets end up in the hands of real fans, after the fan club presale, tickets will be sold during Ticketmaster’s Verified Fan presale. All fans interested in priority access to tickets should get verified. Registration begins Friday, Sept. 21 at 10 am.

Tickets inside Church’s stage will be made available exclusively to Church Choir members and only through the brand-new Eric Church app. Church is taking full control of the very best seats inside the stage and offering them using cutting edge technology. Church Choir members will also have the opportunity to take advantage of exclusive hotel deals in all Double Down Tour cities plus additional surprises related to the tour. More information is available at ericchurch.com.

Desperate Man is available for preorder now, with the title track, “Heart Like A Wheel” and “Monsters” available upon preorder.

To purchase tickets, either call (800) 745-3000 or visit Ticketmaster.com.
