Get ready for a rock 'n' roll rendezvous as My Morning Jacket teams up with Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats for a co-headlining tour set to shake up Nashville. Fans can anticipate a dynamic night at Ascend Amphitheater on September 18 and 19, where each band will deliver equal-length sets, promising an exhilarating exchange of musical prowess. According to WKRN, this co-billed concert, aptly named "Eye To Eye" tour, is a product of Live Nation's grand orchestration.
These venerable veterans of the rock scene will be rotating the headlining spot with each show, ensuring a fresh experience for concert-goers every night. "We are long-time lovers of My Morning Jacket, and over the years have grown a close friendship," Rateliff shared in a statement that beamed with mutual respect and anticipation for the collaborative journey. BrooklynVegan reported Rateliff's sentiment which perfectly encapsulates the spirit of the upcoming shows. Tickets are set to go on sale this Friday, with presales kicking off earlier this week.
My Morning Jacket, the alternative rock outfit behind anthemic hits like "Wordless Chorus" and "One Big Holiday," foray back onto the stage following their eponymous 2021 album. Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats, a band that's reinvigorated contemporary rock with smash hits "S.O.B." and "You Worry Me," are equally matched, bringing tunes from their own 2021 album "The Future." Both groups have consistently charted their courses through the realms of music that resonate deeply with fans across generations. With their united front, the "Eye To Eye Tour" is primed to be a festival of sound, where the old school meets the new cool.
With no New York City stop listed, the tour will cascade through various East Coast cities such as Charlotte, Philadelphia, and Raleigh, erecting a temple of rock in each venue. "It’s so special to become friends with musicians and peers that you admire and we’re looking forward to bringing our love for each other on the road," Rateliff told The Tennessean. For those seeking to catch these titans of tune, marking your calendars is advisable before the Friday ticket rush ushers in a sellout spectacle.
