Expect new music and red Solo cups.
Country superstar Dierks Bentley just announced his 33-concert ‘Broken Branches Tour’ in support of his forthcoming 11th studio album with special guests Zach Top and The Band Loula.
Toward the end of the expansive nationwide run, the 49-year-old Phoenix native has five New York and New Jersey shows scheduled.
Up first, he’ll swing by Camden, NJ’s Freedom Mortgage Pavilion on Thursday, Aug. 7.
After that, the “What Was I Thinkin’” crooner boot scoots into Buffalo’s Darien Lake Amphitheater on Thursday, Aug. 14, Holmdel, NJ’s PNC Bank Arts Center on Friday, Aug. 15, Bethel, NY’s Bethel Woods Center for the Arts on Saturday, Aug. 16 and New York City’s Madison Square Garden on Thursday, Aug. 28.
In addition to the tour, he also has a number of one-offs and festival dates lined up including Nashville’s ‘Grand Ole Opry Live Celebration’ on March 19 alongside Garth Brooks, Reba McEntire and more.
“I’m 20(ish) years into doing this, and I’ve seriously never been more excited about a tour,” Bentley said in a statement.
“We had Zach out for a few shows last summer, and I knew right away that we had to do more together. He loves the same kind of country music I do, and he’s got the bluegrass chops to hang with the best of ‘em in a jam. I’ve got a million ideas for the set list rolling around in my head. It’ll be fun to figure out how to make it all come to life with a new album and new production.”
Although Bentley hasn’t officially announced a new album release date yet — his last record “Gravel and Gold” hit shelves in February 2023 — he did drop the single “She Hate Me,” which tells the story of a woman who no longer falls for his classic country charms, on Valentine’s Day.
