Music legend John Prine will launch his 11-city 2018 tour at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall on April 13.
The new tour will support a forthcoming full-length album — his first collection of original songs since his Grammy-winning Fair & Square was released in 2005. Details on the new music will be announced at a later date.
A solo performance by Sturgill Simpson will open the New York kickoff. Kurt Vile will support the following show in Philadelphia, and Margo Price is on the bill for the June 2 closer in Norfolk, Virginia.
Tickets go on sale Dec. 6 and 8, and a CD copy of the new album comes with each purchase (with the exception of the Beaver Dam, Kentucky show on May 11).
Prine is the Americana Music Association’s reigning artist of the year. His first book, John Prine Beyond Words, arrived in April.
