Sturgill Simpson aka “Johnny Blue Skies” has announced the “Who The F**k Is Johnny Blue Skies? 2025 Tour” this spring. The new tour follows a wildly successful 2024 run that saw him play 35 shows in 28 cities to over 200,000 fans in support of his most recent album – the universally acclaimed Passage du Desir. This tour will see Johnny Blue Skies playing 23 shows across the U.S., starting April 5 at Choctaw Casino Grand Theater in Durant, and wrapping up May 24 at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland.
Registration for the pre-sale is open now — sign up at sturgillsimpsonlive.com to receive exclusive early access to the artist pre-sale starting next Wednesday, February 19 at 10:00AM local. A limited number of tickets will be available for the general on-sale on Friday, February 21 at 12pm local time at sturgillsimpsonlive.com, while quantities last.
Like Simpson’s 2024 “Why Not? Tour,” the official audio from the “Who The F**k Is Johnny Blue Skies? 2025 Tour” will be available on nugs.net for streaming or purchase in hi-res formats. Fans can enjoy their show, and more exclusive concert recordings at nugs.net/johnnyblueskies.
The 2025 U.S. dates follow an extensive run of sold out shows across Europe and UK beginning February 23 through March 22, with stops including Belfast, Dublin, London, Hamburg, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Oslo, Berlin, Brussels, and Paris.
Fans who purchase tickets on Ticketmaster and can’t attend will have the option to resell their tickets at the original price paid using Face Value Exchange. Ticketmaster will use tickets that are mobile-only and restricted from transfer (except in NY, VA, IL and CO, per state regulations). A valid bank account or debit card issued within the country of the event is required to sell on the Face Value Exchange. More information on Ticketmaster Exchange can be found here.
Since his debut, Simpson has released five full-length studio albums—2013’s High Top Mountain, 2014’s Metamodern Sounds in Country Music, 2016’s A Sailor’s Guide to Earth, 2019’s Sound & Fury and 2021’s The Ballad of Dood and Juanita—along with the 2020 projects, Cuttin’ Grass Vol. 1 and Vol. 2. Throughout his singular career, Simpson has relentlessly pushed against expectations, earning widespread acclaim and countless accolades including a GRAMMY Award in 2017 for Best Country Album and six GRAMMY nominations across four genres: country, rock, bluegrass and americana.
In addition to his work as a musician, Simpson has acted in film and television, including roles in The Dead Don’t Die, Queen & Slim, Killers of the Flower Moon and The Righteous Gemstones.
