From a press release:

Award-winning Nashville country singer/guitarist and prolific songwriter Chris Stapleton will bring his All-American Road Show with special guests Margo Price and Brent Cobb to the Giant Center in Hershey on Thursday, Aug. 10 at 7 p.m.

Tickets, which are $38.60 and $73.60, plus fees, go on sale next Friday, Feb. 24 at 10 a.m. and will be available at the Giant Center box office (550 Hersheypark Dr., Hershey), online at hersheyentertainment.com and ticketmaster.com, and by phone at 717-534-3911 or 800-745-3000.

This extensive 2017 tour follows a series of seminal years for Chris Stapleton since the release of his breakthrough double-platinum solo debut album, “Traveller.” Released in May 2015 on Mercury Records Nashville, “Traveller” initially debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard Country Albums chart with more than 27,000 albums sold, making it one of the best-selling first weeks by a debut country artist in 2015.

Following a historic turn on the 49th Annual CMA Awards – where Stapleton became the first artist to win Album of the Year, Male Vocalist of the Year, and New Artist of the Year at the same awards – “Traveller” became the first album to re-enter the Billboard 200 all-genre album chart at No. 1, where it stayed for two straight weeks. The album went on to win multiple Grammy and ACM Awards and was the No. 1 selling country album of 2016 and the fourth-highest-selling album of 2016 across all genres.

Most recently, Stapleton was nominated for three awards at the 52nd Annual ACM Awards, including Male Vocalist of the Year, Song of the Year (“Tennessee Whiskey”), and Video of the Year (“Fire Away”).

The wristband policy will be in effect for this event. Fans are permitted on the Hersheypark Entertainment Complex property beginning at 7 a.m. on Feb. 24. Two hours prior to the on-sale, fans will be directed in front of Giant Center box office, where they will be issued a numbered wristband. Wristbands are available for one hour and, at the conclusion of that hour, a selected fan will randomly choose a wristband that will determine the line order. Numbers 501 to 1,000 will proceed in line behind, followed by numbers 1 through 499. Once the line is in place, fans arriving after the wristbands were issued will be escorted to the end of the numbered line.
