Tour Notes:

Eric Church “Holdin’ My Own” tour, supporting his 2015 album, Mr. Misunderstood, launched in mid-January 2017, hitting the heartland before trekking across North America and back, wrapping up with a gig at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena in late May. The 360-degree end-stage show bucked a couple of trends, including co-headlining tours and supporting acts – it was all Eric Church, with two sets and one intermission. Church also take pains to keep ticket prices affordable for his fans, which tends to make his total ticket sales (exceeding 875,000 in 2017, according to Pollstar) more impressive than total dollars earned.
