Time Out says

If you’re a country music fan, you’re almost guaranteed to be familiar with Chris Stapleton. For those of you who are less familiar, let us assure you that Stapleton is a certified big name on the scene. He’s collaborated with Justin Timberlake, Bruno Mars and Ed Sheeran, not to mention his work with none other than Taylor Swift for the re-recorded version of her song ‘I Bet You Think About Me’. 

The Kentucky-born star has won ten Grammys, 15 Country Music Association awards and 10 Academy of Country Music awards – placing him amongst the most celebrated musicians in the United States. Now, Chris Stapleton has announced that he’s finally touring Australia and New Zealand for the first time ever in early 2025. 

When is Chris Stapleton in Sydney?

The legendary country muso will close out his tour Down Under by playing at the Qudos Bank Arena on Tuesday, March 4, 2025. So far, Stapleton has only announced a single show in the Emerald City, but we’ll be keeping our eyes peeled for any additional dates. His Sydney show is Stapleton’s last stop on the Aussie leg of his tour, which will also see him perform in Melbourne and Brisbane on February 25 and February 28, respectively. 

How can I get tickets to the Sydney Chris Stapleton shows and how much do they cost?

The Live Nation presale starts at 11am today (Thursday, April 11) – keen country beans can register here. General sales kick off on Friday, April 12 via Ticketek, also at 11am. 

What will the Chris Stapleton Sydney show be like?

We’re expecting Chris Stapleton’s Sydney show to be like a massive campfire sing along, if reviews of the US leg of his All American Road Show tour are anything to go by. There’ll likely be a mix of acoustic songs and full band numbers, including plenty of hits from Stapleton’s latest album Higher.

Who will the Sydney Chris Stapleton support acts be?

Chris Stapleton will be supported by Grammy-nominated blues and Southern rock artist Marcus King, who is an American star in his own right.
