Press Release
2024 CMA Award-winner and multi-Platinum-selling artist Cody Johnson launched his “Leather Deluxe Tour” over the weekend with shows in Newark, New Jersey, and Charlottesville, Virginia. The 2025 tour kicked off just a few short weeks after Johnson wrapped his 2024 touring schedule in mid-December, playing 30 sold-out concerts. He capped off last year with two sold-out shows in Las Vegas at the MGM Garden Arena with a surprise appearance by country music superstar Lainey Wilson.
This tour will make back-to-back stops in Nashville at Bridgestone Arena on Feb. 14-15. His last visit to the arena took place one year ago, achieving the most tickets sold by a male country artist in their Bridgestone debut. The Tennessean glowingly claimed, “Cody Johnson achieves headlining country superstardom at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena” and “Cody wears his heart on his sleeves and bears his soul for the world to witness.”
Johnson will visit KeyBank Center in Buffalo on Feb 21, with support from Ashley McBryde and Drew Baldridge.
