Tyler Childers coming to Rupp Arena for two nights, New Year's Eve

Tyler Childers’ sold-out tour added two dates to the back end of its 2023 schedule, and both shows will be in Rupp Arena.

Today, Childers announced a two-night New Year’s Eve event in Lexington, Kentucky, with shows at Rupp Arena on Saturday, December 30, and Sunday, December 31. Childers and his band will be joined on both nights by Shovels & Rope, the concert’s opening act.
