TIM MCGRAW’S SOLD-OUT ‘STANDING ROOM ONLY’ TOUR LIVES UP TO ITS NAME

May 1, 2024 – Tim McGraw is cementing his icon status on his current Standing Room Only Tour, highlighting his impressive career and expansive discography while creating memorable moments for sold-out audiences across the country. With nearly half a million tickets sold thus far, the tour marked the halfway point with a hometown Nashville show and the 12th time that he has played a sold-out Bridgestone Arena. The show featured a surprise special guest as Lord Stanley’s Cup graced the stage and Nashville Predators fans could only cheer and hope that they will see the Cup again soon. Sports remain omnipresent on this tour, as McGraw donned a Caitlin Clark jersey in Des Moines for the NCAA Women’s Basketball Final Four. And after Clark was drafted to the WNBA’s Indiana Fever, he wore her new jersey at the Gainbridge Fieldhouse show in Indianapolis to celebrate her new home-stadium. Beyond his love of sports, McGraw also honored his musical history on the 20th anniversary of his genre-bending collaboration “Over and Over,” McGraw brought Nelly on stage in St. Louis to perform the iconic track.

“There are country music superstars and then there’s Tim McGraw.” – The Tennessean

“McGraw’s energy and enthusiasm was contagious…” – The Columbus Dispatch 

“With a career spanning three decades, numerous chart-topping hits, and a profound impact on the music industry, McGraw’s contribution to country music is undeniable. Yet, as each performance unfolds, it becomes clear that McGraw’s journey is far from over; it’s evolving, touching new hearts, and shaping the future of country music.” – Backspin Canada

“If you want to see full-grown adults….absolutely losing their shit, go to a Tim McGraw show.” – Georgia Straight 

“The thing about Tim McGraw is: there’s nobody doing it quite like him anymore, from the ‘90s or today. His brand of earnest ballads, modern-day pop-country and extravagant showmanship has ensured him a longevity and crowd following” – Fort Worth Star-Telegram

“Sometimes you see a show and you think to yourself, “it really doesn’t get any better than this.” That’s what it was like watching Tim McGraw’s Standing Room Only Tour” – Morning Hangover

“Tim McGraw’s connection with the audience was palpable on Friday evening. … His engagement made the large venue feel unexpectedly intimate, and no matter where you enjoyed the concert from, you felt like you were only inches away from the country music superstar.” – On Milwaukee

Produced by Live Nation and presented by Sports Illustrated (a subsidiary of Authentic Brands Group), The Standing Room Only Tour runs through June with 44 more shows across North America.
