Billy Strings celebrates the release of his new So Much For Goodbyes album and launch of his inaugural Ionia Freak Fair festival by revealing the dates for his 2027 Winter Tour.

Strings kicks off the run with five shows at ExploreAsheville.com Arena in Asheville, North Carolina February 4 – 9, with a day off on February 7. He then heads to Duluth, Georgia for performances on February 12 and 13 at Gas South Arena.

The Michigan native concludes the brief outing in his current hometown of Nashville. Strings plays Music City’s Bridgestone Arena on February 19 and 20 before wrapping the tour at the more intimate Ryman Auditorium on February 21.

Strings made his Ryman debut on June 28, 2018. He has since performed 10 additional shows at the legendary Nashville venue. The guitarist’s most recent visit came last September, when he played two gigs at The Ryman with Bryan Sutton.

Tickets for the new dates go on sale Friday, September 11 at 10 a.m. local time. Fans hoping to attend the Ryman Auditorium show must first purchase a ticket to one of the Bridgestone Arena dates to be eligible for a chance to buy Ryman tickets.

Billy Strings takes the stage tonight, August 28 and tomorrow, August 29 in Ionia, Michigan to headline the first-ever Ionia Freak Fair music festival. Livestreams and replays of sets from Strings, Greensky Bluegrass and Leftover Salmon can be viewed by nugs subscribers.
