TURNPIKE TROUBADOURS WRAP HISTORIC
“BOYS FROM OKLAHOMA” STADIUM RUN, ACHIEVE HIGHEST SPOTIFY CHARTING TO DATE WITH THE PRICE OF ADMISSION
NEW ALBUM DEBUTS AT #1 ON ITUNES ALL-GENRE AND COUNTRY CHARTS, #3 ON U.S. SPOTIFY ALBUM CHART AND #9 ON GLOBAL SPOTIFY ALBUM CHART
April 16, 2025—In yet another historic achievement, Turnpike Troubadours wrapped their sold-out “The Boys From Oklahoma” stadium run this past Sunday—the band’s 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.
The band also continues to break records with their new surprise album, The Price of Admission, which was released this past Friday 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. In just the first three days of being available, the record also garnered over four million streams across platforms with new song, “Heaven Passing Through,” receiving more than 610,000 streams alone.
Released to overwhelming praise from fans and critics alike, Rolling Stone declares, “With Red Dirt as a genre enjoying its greatest popularity…The Price of Admission serves as a reminder that Turnpike is still the genre’s torchbearer,” while Billboard proclaims, “Gentle fiddle and guitar put Felker’s warm voice and timeless message forward, culminating in the feel of a new, timeless fan favorite” and Holler states, “The Price of Admission acts as a culmination of all the best moments we’ve seen from the group’s remarkable career so far.” The album 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”).
Known for their electric live shows, 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. See below for tour itinerary, full details can be found at www.turnpiketroubadours.com/tour.
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 Spin proclaimed, “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).
