Due to incredible fan demand, The American Drive-In Tour featuring Godsmack’s Sully Erna and Staind frontman Aaron Lewis together for the first time in an acoustic setting has added two new dates this month: Dallas on October 27 at Fair Park and San Antonio on October 28 at the AT&T Center. Tickets for these new show dates, as well as the originally announced events, are now on sale at www.aaronandsully.com.
The American Drive-In Tour is one of the first 2020 drive-in live rock concert tours planned across multiple cities, and kicked off October 2 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. It’s currently scheduled to run through November 1 in Del Mar, California with stops in major markets across the country.
Each night, two of the most acclaimed frontmen in rock perform their hits and covers together, side-by-side, in an intimate and unplugged evening, offering a once-in-a-lifetime event for fans.
Erna is the accomplished founder, vocalist, guitarist and songwriter for the multiplatinum rock band Godsmack, selling over 20 million records worldwide, enjoying four Grammy nominations and eleven #1 singles at mainstream rock radio. In May, Godsmack’s “Unforgettable” became the fourth #1 rock track from their latest album When Legends Rise (BMG). This accomplishment makes Godsmack one of only four rock acts to reach this milestone. Erna also released his latest solo album Hometown Life in 2016.
Lewis, who fronts and founded the wildly-successful rock group Staind, has sold 17 million albums worldwide and has enjoyed four consecutive top three debuts on Billboard’s Top 200. The single “It’s Been Awhile,” remains the most-played rock song of its decade. His solo material includes the platinum selling hit “Country Boy” and 4 albums of tried-and-true, twang-heavy Outlaw Country tunes, including his most recent album, State I’m In.
At each tour date, Lewis will also be hosting Virtual Meet & Greets along with a Signed Merch Experience, to include: an exclusive drive-in tour poster (signed), drive-in tour red solo cup, screen shot selfie, virtual one-on-one meet & greet access, private video chat with Aaron Lewis, Aaron Lewis Guitar Pick Collection and Aaron Lewis Neck Gaiter. Limited quantities are available and can be purchased at https://www.aaronlewisvip.com/.
Tour producers Danny Wimmer Presents have worked closely with both artists and all venues to create a live concert environment that will bring rock fans back together in unique setups that promote social distancing for a safe experience. The nationwide trek follows current local health guidelines for fans’ safety and enjoyment. Some shows will be drive-in events with patrons in or adjacent to their cars, and other shows will feature viewing from socially distanced fan “pods” or tables designed for up to four people (as noted in the chart below).
