    Nickel Creek Announces First Headline Tour Since 2014

    By Dom VigilFebruary 7, 2023
    Nickel Creek Tour Dates

    Nickel Creek—mandolinist Chris Thile, violinist Sara Watkins and guitarist Sean Watkins—will return to the road this spring with their first headline tour since 2014. The extensive run kicks off April 15 at Cincinnati’s Andrew J Brady Music Center and includes stops at Pittsburgh’s Byham Theater, Boston’s MGM Music Hall at Fenway Park, Philadelphia’s The Fillmore, New York’s The Rooftop at Pier 17, Atlanta’s The Eastern, Chicago’s Salt Shed, Milwaukee’s Riverside Theater and Kansas City’s Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts among many others. Additional dates will be announced soon.

    Tickets and “Celebrants Club” VIP packages for the headline shows will be available for pre-sale starting tomorrow, February 8 at 10:00AM local time with general on-sale following this Friday, February 10 at 10:00AM local time. Tickets can be found HERE.

    In addition to the new dates, the band will also perform three sold-out shows at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium on April 27, 28 and 29 and will make several festival appearances this year including a headline set at Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion in September.

    The upcoming shows add to a landmark year for Nickel Creek, who will release Celebrants, their first new album in nine years, March 24 via Thirty Tigers. Their fifth studio album, (which is available for pre-order now HERE) marks a highly anticipated return for the beloved trio and explores the inherent dynamics of human connection. Across the 18 tracks, the trio addresses love, friendship and time with lyrics both poetic and plain-spoken, as they see bridges built, crossed, burned and rebuilt. Recorded at Nashville’s RCA Studio A, the album was produced by longtime collaborator Eric Valentine (Queens of the Stone Age, Grace Potter, Weezer) and features Mike Elizondo on bass.

    Reflecting on the project, the band shares, “This is a record about embracing the friction inherent in real human connection. We begin the record yearning for and pursuing harmonious connection. We end the record having realized that truly harmonious connection can only be achieved through the dissonance that we’ve spent our entire adult lives trying to avoid.”
