Country superstar Chris Stapleton is simply too popular to play just one concert at the new 19,000-capacity Mystic Lake Amphitheater in Shakopee after drawing nearly 50,000 to U.S. Bank Stadium in 2024.
So to meet the demand, Stapleton has added a second gig at the soon-to-open Shakopee venue. It will be on July 30, a night after the initial show that was announced last week.
Tickets, starting at $85, for the second concert will go on sale at 10 a.m. Jan. 16 at www.chrisstapleton.com with a presale available at 10 a.m. Jan. 15 for Citi card members.
Stapleton’s All-American Road Show, which kicks off on Feb. 4, is visiting stadiums, amphitheaters and arenas. Soul singer Allen Stone is opening the Shakopee shows.
The much-lauded Stapleton, 47, has collected 11 Grammys (including three for best country album) and 17 CMA Awards (including three for album of the year and seven for top male vocalist). He is a finalist for four Grammys to be presented on Feb. 1.
Among the guitar-slinging Kentuckian’s best-known songs are “Tennessee Whiskey,” “Starting Over” and “You Should Probably Leave.”
Stapleton is the first act booked for two nights at the long-awaited venue under construction near Canterbury Park. The outdoor facility, with both reserved and general admission seating, is operated by Live Nation, the world’s biggest concert promoter.
No official opening date has been announced.
