One of America’s most beloved bands, Turnpike Troubadours will headline the final day of the 2025 Formula 1 United States Grand Prix on October 19. Taking place at Austin, TX’s Circuit of The Americas, the three-day event will also feature Garth Brooks and Kygo in addition to races throughout the weekend.
The performance adds to a historic year for the band, who released their surprise new album, The Price of Admission, earlier this month via Bossier City Records/Thirty Tigers (stream HERE). The record debuted at #1 on the iTunes all-genre and country charts, #3 on the U.S. Albums Spotify chart and #9 on the Global Album Spotify chart—the band’s highest Spotify debuts to date. It also reached #1 on the Billboard Digital Albums and Current Digital Albums Sales charts, #13 on the Billboard Americana/Folk Albums chart, #22 on Billboard’s Independent Albums chart and #28 on the Top Country Albums chart. The album has also garnered over 13.3 million across platforms to date in the U.S. and is now available to pre-order on CD or vinyl HERE (available June 27).
The eagerly awaited follow up to their widely acclaimed 2023 album, A Cat in the Rain, The Price of Admission further cements the band as an undeniable force in the music world. Produced by Shooter Jennings, the album features songwriting collaborations with Old Crow Medicine Show’s Ketch Secor (“On The Red River”), Trampled By Turtles’ Dave Simonett (“Leaving Town (Woody Guthrie Festival)”) and John Fullbright (“Searching For A Light”).
Continuing to break records, the band wrapped their sold-out “The Boys From Oklahoma” stadium run earlier this month—their largest shows to date, playing to 180,000 people throughout the weekend. “The most memorable concert in the state’s history” (Rolling Stone), the one-of-a-kind, four-night event took place at Stillwater, OK’s Boone Pickens Stadium.
Turnpike Troubadours will continue to tour through this summer including back-to-back headline shows at Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre next month and several dates with Zach Bryan across the U.K. including a stop at London’s BST Hyde Park. They will also join Willie Nelson’s 10th Anniversary Outlaw Music Festival Tour this summer alongside Nelson, Bob Dylan, Billy Strings, Sheryl Crow, The Red Clay Strays and more.
Turnpike Troubadours has amassed a massive following throughout their career with more than 2.2 billion streams globally and over 1.7 million equivalent units sold to-date. Furthermore, the band was recently inducted into the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame, appeared in the penultimate episode of “Yellowstone” this past fall performing three songs (“Good Lord Lorrie,” “Brought Me” and “Pay No Rent”) and has become a recurring presence in Paramount’s new show, “Landman,” with six of their songs featured to date.
Since their 2005 debut, Turnpike Troubadours has released six studio albums including 2023’s A Cat in the Rain, which was released to overwhelming acclaim. The Associated Press praised, “they’ve returned with the kind of ferocity that feels destined to put them right back on that long-term upward trajectory…The earnestness is palpable,” while Spinproclaimed, “the Oklahoma group is better than ever…one of the most beloved groups in country and roots music.” Originally from Tahlequah, OK, Turnpike Troubadours is Evan Felker (vocals, guitar), Kyle Nix (fiddle), Ryan Engleman (electric guitar), RC Edwards (bass), Gabe Pearson (drums) and Hank Early (steel, accordion).
