Eric Church will perform at the Prudential Center in Newark May 2, with tickets going on sale Friday at 10 a.m.
Tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. for Eric Church’s May concert at the Prudential Center in Newark. It’s still early, of course, but there is already a slew of major country shows booked for New Jersey. (And I’m not even counting Taylor Swift, who doesn’t qualify as country anymore.)
The date for Church’s concert is May 2, and The Lone Bellow will open. Tickets will be available through Ticketmaster.com.
