With his new album Evangeline vs. The Machine arriving May 2, Eric Church returns to the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado for a special three-night run of performances July 14-16, curating a different, immersive experience for each show.

Eric Church's Red Rocks shows are:

July 14: Eric Church vs. The Machine – a full-scale production featuring his band joined by a dynamic ensemble of strings, horns, and choir.

July 15: Eric Church vs. The ECB – a raw, high-energy set with his original band, including longtime collaborator Joanna Cotten.

July 16: Eric Church vs. The Guitar – a stripped-down, intimate evening with Church alone on stage, delivering an acoustic performance.

Eric made his Red Rocks debut in August 2007, and his August 2016 performance at the venue was captured for a PBS special, highlighted by his cover of Leonard Cohen’s "Hallelujah." A roughly once-a-decade experience, this return to Red Rocks marks his first performance at the venue since that show.

Tickets for this special three-night event will be available to Church Choir (his fan club) members today (4/7), before opening to the general public on Friday, April 11. Become a Church Choir member here. Supporting Church across all three nights is Stephen Wilson Jr., and a limited number of three-day tickets are available for fans eager to see the full trio of shows.

With these one-off shows on the horizon to celebrate his new album Evangeline vs. The Machine, lead single "Hands Of Time" is already impressing, having set a new personal record en route to becoming most added at Country radio last week with 135 first-week stations and earning immediate praise from fans and critics alike.
