Tyler Childers has announced a global 2024 trek dubbed the Mule Pull ’24 Tour. The tour announcement comes days before the release of Childers’ latest album, Rustin’ In The Rain, due out on Friday, September 8th.
The acclaimed singer-songwriter and his longtime band, The Food Stamps, will make stops at a number of notable U.S. venues including New York, NY’s Madison Square Garden (5/29), Nashville, TN’’s Bridgestone Arena (4/18, 4/19), Inglewood, CA’s Kia Forum (5/6), Austin, TX’s Moody Center (4/10), Fort Worth, TX’s Dickies Arena (4/15), and more in the spring of 2024 following a February/March run in Europe and the U.K. featuring dates in Dublin, Glasgow, Manchester, London, Hamburg, Copenhagen, Amsterdam (two nights), Stockholm, and Oslo. Special guests on the tour will include Medium Build, Hayes Carll, Sylvan Esso, 49 Winchester, John R. Miller, and Allison Russell.
Tickets for the U.S. dates will be available for pre-sale from Wednesday, September 13th at 10:00 a.m. local time through 10:00 p.m. local time, with general on-sale following on Friday, September 15th at 9:00 a.m. local time. General on-sale for the Knoxville show (4/16) will begin on September 15th at 12:00 p.m. local time. Fans can register for pre-sale access here.
To help fans get tickets at face value and limit professional reseller activity, the tour will use Ticketmaster’s Face Value Exchange for resale. If needed, fans will be able to use the Exchange to resell tickets to other fans at the original price paid. Tickets for all shows (excluding New York) will be mobile-only and restricted from transfer. In New York, tickets will be transferable, but Face Value Exchange is still encouraged to maintain original pricing.
The tour’s Mule Pull billing continues a thematic thread that runs throughout Rustin’ In The Rain. “I was spending a lot of COVID time working these two mules,” Childers recently explained to NPR during a conversation about the forthcoming album. “My grandpa grew up as a tenant farmer in Lawrence County, and always kept a horse up until he passed. And his favorite brother Lucian, lived down the road and he worked mules up until the ’90s. And so it was a part of my history. And then the world shut down. I was like, no better time than now. And that was a lot of fun, so that was kind of where my head was at. The album has a lot of love songs, but if there’s a thread, it’s the mules.”
Recorded at Dragline Studios, the album was produced by Childers and The Food Stamps—James Barker (pedal steel), Craig Burletic (bass), CJ Cain (guitar), Rodney Elkins (drums), Chase Lewis (keyboards), and Jesse Wells (guitar, fiddle). Rustin’ In The Rain by Tyler Childers is available here for pre-order. To watch the cinematic music video for the album’s lead single, “In Your Love”, head here.
