Leon Bridges Announces Homecoming Show at Dickies Arena

Today, GRAMMY® Award-winning Texas recording artist, songwriter, and performer Leon Bridges announces his fall trek, Leon Bridges: The Leon Tour. In support of his self-titled album, Leon, releasing October 4, the tour will make stops in cities across North America such as Chicago, Toronto, New York, Nashville and more before wrapping with a special homecoming show at Dickies Arena on Friday, November 15, Leon’s biggest headline show to date.

Says Leon of his intentionality behind this tour, “I wanted to bring the magic and connection that made this record to this tour, so I felt it was important to pick the right rooms to play. I’ll be performing at intimate theaters this run with my incredible band. These are listening rooms—beautiful stages that truly showcase the music and allow me to get back to analog instrumentation. Plus,I’ve really missed playing guitar. I’ve got my brothers, Hermanos Gutiérrez, supporting me on tour as well. The tour starts in Austin and ends with a truly epic night in Fort Worth—aka Panther City—joined by my friend and Texas legend, Charley Crockett. Can’t wait to play this record for y’all live! Hope to see you out there.”

This record is unmistakably Leon.
