Openers were meh. Really long and unnecessary guitar solos, like 5 minute solos, it was crazy, but not in a good way. Chris Stapleton has really good music and it was played really well live, however, it was indistinguishable from the studio recordings of the songs. Additionally, he’s not a performer, he got up there played his songs and left, not much too it.

Love Chris's music, and his voice is superb. Unfortunately, for a venue the size of the O2 you need to put on a show. To just stand and sing, with the occasional chat to the audience doesn't work for me. The band were great, and as said previously, his voice, and the songs are terrific, but to be honest, unless it's in a smaller venue, as a show it doesn't work.

I went with my girlfriend for her Birthday. She was beyond words. Chris brought two wonderful entertainers along with him on this tour.
I recently received a diagnosis of breast cancer. Aggressive, treatable and beatable.
Chris has such a great talent. And I am so glad that he shared it with us. He did two hours of singing. And without breaks. I hope to see him again.
If I could say anything to Chris it would be. "Don't change anything I loved you and your work."
SING ON. INSPIRE OTHERS.

So gooooooood except for the snobby people by us!!Yapping woman behind us wouldn’t shut up and sarcastic guys by us ! I hope Chris won’t do bowl again! Crowd seem more into themselves , but Chris was a showman!! Grace Potter was a wild one and Allen Sone was like closing your eyes and listening to Stevie Wonder!! I love the chemistry Chris and his wife had it was pure love!!

The concert was absolutely phenomenal! Chris Stapleton is an amazing performer. We drove 12 hours for a long weekend in Charlotte to see Chris Stapleton and George Strait, and we were thoroughly impressed. The venue at Bank of America Stadium is a perfect setting to see an outdoor concert. The openness, cleanliness, and friendliness in a major city like Charlotte just made it that much more special. He's a very talented performer, and it shows in his stage presence. Country music is not my preferred choice, but I would 11/10 go see him perform again anywhere

I’ve seen Chris each of the last 3 times he’s played Blossom, and there’s never any surprises! You know you’re gonna get a solid show, no frills, some great musicianship and some soulful bluesy vocals. The setlist was good, but of course I wish he had played some stuff that I prefer over some of the stuff he did play. Of course, there’s 15-20 thousand other fans there and you can’t please everyone with every song!
Overall though, a great show, very enjoyable!

Chris was 5 stars. The venue was not as great. Paid for lawn chairs, but they sold way more tickets for them than they had. Also sold way more lawn seats than were available so for the most part we all had to shove together like we were in the Pit, but we were very far away from the stage. Chris was great though.

Chris Stapleton was great 5 stars! as were the other 2 performers.
Our 2, Platinum, $500+ seats were stage right almost behind the stage, The stage had a top like it was meant for an outdoor concert, inside the closed top Stadium. The stage looked like a shoe box and we were looking at the side of of it, we could not see any of the 3 bands or singers, There was one little spot we could see on stage but someone stood there and blocked that view too. We had to watch the 3 acts on the monitor, But at least the sound was echoey and too loud, the slap back was bad.
So the performers were great the set-up and staging sucked.

The opening act Nikki Lane was less than impressive for a headliner if Chris’ stature. Charley Crockett was a surprise for the night and look forward to following him in the future. Chris was just awesome, what a voice , so effortless too, and to play 23 straight without a break truly impressive. This is an artist that sounds as good in person as the product put out on a recording, not many today can make that claim. I’m not a fan of the huge GA pits & free for all it creates from pushing, shoving, spilling, etc as was evident when hands flew last night the put right in front of Chris who stopped mid-song…hard to believe Miranda Lambert Was Worried About A Selfie? This set up also pushes the rest of audience away from performers lessening their concert experience despite paying a larger $$$.
San Antonio, TX@Frost Bank Center
Came all the way from BC to see this show and Chris himself did not disappoint! Glad they moved things around to make sure we got to see him and not cancel the whole show. Was a bummer that a storm had to come through and cut out Marcus King and War & Treaty, was excited to see them! I understand the show still went on but a partial refund or a gift to the fans would be nice considering we only got half of the show we paid for. Also bought a concert T shirt (the Tennessee Whiskey one) didn’t notice till I got home that it didn’t have the tour info on the back, thought that was kind of standard for $50 concert T’s.
Toronto, ON@Budweiser Stage
Chris Stapleton was totally awesome. I will never attend another concert at this miserable venue!!! The acoustics were absolutely horrible!!!! Everyone should NOT be allowed to stand up for the whole concert!!! This was the worst time I’ve ever had at a concert and I’ve been to hundreds. The only thing enjoyable about this stinking venue was CHRIS STAPLETON ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

Baltimore, MD@CFG Bank Arena
Great music (as expected) but a little overproduced. With the amount of talent on stage, there's no need for the theatrics of the light show, smoke, and screen graphics. Some of the best part of the show was him and his wife on stage "unplugged" when the band took a break. Allen Stone and Margo Price were the openers. Stone has a nice blues tone/beach bar sound that was unexpectedly pleasant. Not a Margo Price fan. CFG Arena is a nice venue, but in a terrible part of town in downtown Baltimore.

The concert was amazing! Chris Stapleton puts on a great show! The two ladies that opened were great also. I have found Madeline Edward a singer to add to my playlist.
I do wish I could have seen the stage better, but I was in the lawn area and only could see the monitors.
I liked the venue and the way everything from the security check to the food vendors was.
Plenty of bathroom access. The only thing I was disappointed in was how small the monitors were. It seemed that they could be a bit bigger or put a monitor at the back of the covered area for the lawn seated folks. Other than that, I would definitely come for another show, but would get seats a little closer.
Canandaigua, NY@CMAC Performing Arts Center
Chris Stapleton gets 5 stars! The venue gets 1 star…. The sound system at Ford Idaho Center is not made for concerts. It’s impossible to understand a thing Chris said. He talked, told stories, and it was all a blurry mess. I will NEVER go back to this venue for a concert again. It’s not worth it. Oh and also the the drum kits sound was set so loud it overrode Chris’s singing voice. Whoever set the sound between his mic and the instruments did a terrible job. I came to hear Chris… not just the band. I hope Chris Stapleton comes back to Boise at a different venue. I’d absolutely see him again!
Boise, ID@Ford Idaho Center Arena
Did not get to go, I have cancer and missed the show due MD Anderson’s great scheduling...kept me there over twelve hours until past showtime.
Had to eat the tickets ($200+ /pair), THANKS DOC!
Anyway, watched it on YouTube, thanks to those that filmed it. I know he’s good live, saw him in Baton Rouge a couple years back, before I had cancer..
Pray for me, please.

The show was amazing! Chris Stapleton could sing the phonebook and it was still sound like heaven. The only thing that I would change is that he would have performed “What Are You Listening To.” It was pretty cool to see Marty Stuart perform because he is a legend and country. He hasn’t changed who he is to fit the new wave and that is refreshing as well.

I'm giving Chris five stars on this because he is an amazingly talented performer! For this show, his Jompson Brothers material would have blown the crowd away. I think he was able to pull it off because he was in Nashville and he is well loved there. I think the crowds might not have been as kind in other venues. Just too big of a difference in music. But he still gets props because he and his wife are very talented and great performers.
Nashville, TN@Nissan Stadium
Amazing artist at an amazing venue. No matter where you sat or watched the show it was a great place to be. As an artist he made a huge place like that feel as if in you were at a private show. Stapleton is hands down one of the best performers I have ever seen live. People in my section were lame and sitting, but I didn't care. I sang along to every song and danced till my feet hurt!
Chicago, IL@FirstMerit Bank Pavilion
only played for an hour and 15 mins. due to short time frame, a couple favorite songs weren't played. the opening act played for 45 minutes so it was a real disappointment to have payed so much money for tickets only to have a short set. I'm a big fan of Chris Stapleton, but I was really let down. overall, just an average experience.
San Diego, CA@Humphrey's
Great performance, great concert!!!! Only one suggestion....please find a way to make it last longer! The crowd wanted more....an hour and a half just isn't enough time for this talented man. My friend and I drove 6 hours fro.m NC just to see and hear Chris live, and he made it well worth the trip. Chris Stapleton's voice and songs are full, rich and far above the rest.
