(NEWARK, NJ) -- 2x Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter and musician Billy Strings will bring his headlining tour to the Prudential Center for shows on Friday, November 14 and Saturday, November 15, 2025.

Ahead of the fall run, Strings will perform select headline dates this summer including his first arena tour across Australia and New Zealand in July as well as several shows as part of Willie Nelson’s Outlaw Music Festival Tour.

Additionally, Strings will join forces with Bryan Sutton for a series of intimate sold-out shows this fall in celebration of their surprise collaborative album, Live at the Legion (stream/purchase here). Recorded live on April 7, 2024 at Nashville’s American Legion Post 82, the album showcases the acclaimed duo performing 20 traditional bluegrass and folk songs, including new renditions of Bob Dylan’s “Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright,” Doc Watson’s “Way Downtown” and more.

The release adds to yet another landmark year for Strings, who won Best Bluegrass Album at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards for Live Vol. 1. Strings’ first live album, Live Vol. 1 debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Bluegrass Albums chart this past summer (stream/purchase here). Furthermore, Strings released his latest full-length studio album, Highway Prayers, this past fall, which debuted at #1 on Billboard’s all-genre Top Album Sales Chart—the first time in 22 years that a bluegrass album has been the top-selling album across genres.

Tickets for the shows at Prudential Center are available for purchase online. Prudential Center is located at 25 Lafayette Street in Newark, New Jersey.

Released via Reprise Records, Highway Prayers was produced by Strings and Jon Brion (Fiona Apple, Mac Miller, Aimee Mann) and continues to receive widespread critical attention, with GQ calling Strings “the hottest roots-music phenomenon in decades” and Pitchfork praising, “the bluegrass wunderkind expands his palette, exploring new textures and emotional registers while staying true to his beloved genre.”

Since his 2017 debut, Strings has been awarded Best Bluegrass Album at the 63rd Grammy Awards, Artist of the Year at the 2023 and 2022 Americana Music Awards, Entertainer of the Year at the 2023, 2022 and 2021 International Bluegrass Music Awards, Best New Headliner at the 2022 Pollstar Awards and Breakthrough Artist of the Pandemic at the 2021 Pollstar Awards among several other accolades. He has also performed on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” PBS’ “Austin City Limits” and “Bluegrass Underground” as well as countless sold-out shows worldwide.
