Sturgill Simpson Presents-Who The F**k is Johnny Blue Skies? 2025 Tour

So much for retirement. Sturgill Simpson may have been forced to change his stage name to not renege on his “only five albums” promise. But the worry he’d slunk back into the shadows after releasing 2024’s Passage Du Desir under the pseudonym Johnny Blue Skies appears to not be a concern. Those who’ve seen Simpson live can attest that he’s having too much damn fun at the moment with the reconstituted lineup of his legendary band to stay home.The presale for Sturgill’s “Who The F**k Is Johnny Blue Skies?” tour is underway now, with the general sale starting this Friday (2-21). The tour follows his current sold-out run in Europe through March. He’ll return in April to perform 23 shows across the United States starting April 5th in Durant, OK, and wrapping up May 24 at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD. Sturgill is also playing headlining sets at this year’s Stagecoach Festival, Two Step Inn, and FairWell Fest.

Similar to Billy String and Sturgill’s last tour, official audio from the tour will be available on nugs.net for streaming or purchase in hi-res formats. To cut down on scalping, fans who purchase tickets on Ticketmaster and can only resell their tickets at the original price using Face Value Exchange. Ticketmaster will use tickets that are mobile-only and restricted from transfer.

Joining Sturgill Simpson on stage will be guitarist Laur Joamets, Kevin Black on bass, Miles Miller on drums, and keyboardist Robbie Crowell. No openers on the tour, but Sturgill plays a full show. Along with playing Passage Du Desir tracks and other songs from his catalog, Simpson has been working an extensive list of classic rock covers into his set. You never know what you’re going to get, but according to attendees, it’s always an incredible show. – Savingcountrymusic.com
