When Dwight Yoakam Concert Tour?
Dwight Yoakam has recently released details about the latest concert tour dates to be scheduled for the coming year of 2023. Just recently, country singer Dwight Yoakam has come out with the details of an extensive concert tour that he intends to embark on next year, 2023. The 66-year-old singer-songwriter announced that he will be touring in February and perform in the United States and Canada till April.
Yoakam is well known for a country music style with some elements of rock. He achieved stardom in the mid-1980s with songs such as “Honky Tonk Man” and his career has spanned over twenty albums. More than thirty years after his first record, Yoakam still commands large audiences when he tours, in part because of his cowboy hat and tight leather jeans and in part because he has made a career out of singing honky-tonk tunes and ballads in the tradition of Heartaches by the Number.
The upcoming tour appears to be Yoakam’s most extensive series of performances in quite some time. This means that he will be playing in arenas and large theatres in most of them, an indication of a high audience desire to see him perform live. The tour begins on February 9 in Savannah, GA before moving throughout the Southern and Midwestern states. Yoakam has lined up multiple shows in Nashville and Chicago which means that he continues to be in demand when it comes to country music.
It also shows shows out west in Los Angeles, Phoenix, Denver as well as Salt Lake City. As for the West Coast, Yoakam has had a cult following and he has not traveled there for years to perform. Fans in California, Oregon, and Washington should mark the spring dates to experience the country crooner and guitarist Dwight Yoakam perform live.
The tour then takes him to Canada for several shows before he moves back to the United States. The artist will embark on a series of gigs in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions with famous venues such as Beacon Theatre in New York on his schedule. Yoakam is also scheduled to take the stage at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, the stage that any country great would count as an honor to perform at. The multi-city tour ends in Salina, Kansas on April 15.
Currently, there are no opening bands associated with any of the concerts on this tour. There is still what is expected to be a 20-song set list at each of the concerts, venturing as far back as to such classic albums as Guitars, Cadillacs, Etc. , Etc. or Hillbilly Deluxe. One can presume that fans will be able to hear such songs as “Fast as You” and “A Thousand Miles from Nowhere” besides hearing such concert favorites as “Little Sister,” performed by Elvis Presley, and “Crazy Little Thing Called Love”, performed initially by Queen.
Tickets might also be hard to come by since Yoakam is playing in much bigger venues on this tour than he did during his previous visit to the US some two years ago. It has been recommended for fans to look for pre-sales and early bird tickets when they are availed to get good seats. Since he is one of the pioneers of the genre and has not been touring as frequently in recent years, these Dwight Yoakam concert tickets might get snapped up much faster than the others.
Besides these new solo concerts, Yoakam is also expected to perform in several country music festivals in the summer. Currently, he is confirmed to perform for Cam Country Jam in Missouri as well as the Stagecoach Festival in California. Festival appearances will probably increase as days go by in the year 2023. Yoakam is still in high demand as a performer at country music fests because of the passion and vigor that he still demonstrates in his performances even today.
Despite enjoying considerable success and acclaim in both the country and the rock markets over his long career, Dwight Yoakam still hears the siren song of the highway. He also seems to genuinely enjoy the opportunity to perform for the audience live. His fans are overjoyed to have the chance to listen to the Neo-traditionalist singer-songwriter bring some of the greatest classic country honky-tonk music into the contemporary world. This massive 2023 tour will be the one to look forward to and may just be one of the singer’s most successful tours this year.
