Further North, the tour will hit the Chateau St. Michelle Winery in Seattle for two consecutive nights, promising an idyllic setting for the music of JT.

Headlining a summer festival is nothing new for Taylor, who will take the stage at Milwaukee's Summerfest on June 21st. The festival show will seamlessly fit into the tour's schedule, situated between Midwestern stops at Ravinia in Illinois and the Riverbend Amphitheater in Cincinnati. A highlight of the tour will undoubtedly be the performance at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado, set for June 13th and 14th. Known for its stunning natural acoustics and breathtaking scenery, Red Rocks offers an unmatched backdrop for Taylor's music.

The tour rounds out with performances at major venues in Toronto, Canada, and concludes at the BankNH Pavilion in Gilford, New Hampshire, on July 1st. This extensive tour lineup reflects Taylor's continued vigor as a performer and his ability to draw large crowds eager to hear the classic hits that have underscored American musical culture. Fans can secure their tickets beginning December 13th, with various presales available leading up to the general public sale.
