Sturgill Simpson will return to the Twin Cities this spring
He's not letting the better part of a decade slip by again. Simpson unveiled a a 2025 tour, dubbed "Who the F**k is Johnny Blue Skies?," on Thursday, and it'll bring him to The Armory in Minneapolis on May 6.
Simpson's tour is billed under his recently-adopted stage name, Johnny Blue Skies. It's the name under which he released his 2024 album Passage Du Desir. He even had "Johnny Blue Skies" listed as an opener for his 2024 tour.
The "Long White Line" singer will again perform solo on this tour, promising, "No openers. If you're on time, you're late."
Prior to last year's tour, Simpson hadn't performed live regularly for a few years. He had a tour canceled in 2020 due to the pandemic and then canceled a 2021 tour after hemorrhaging his vocal cords.
Now, the outspoken songwriter behind the heralded Metamodern Sounds in Country Music, among other records, is making up for lost time.
Tickets for the show at The Armory will be available through an artist presale on Feb. 19 at 10 a.m. Tickets go on sale to the public on Friday, Feb. 21 at noon.

Jessica Simpson announces one-night-only Las Vegas concert: How to get tickets
Jessica Simpson is sharing one night only with you at an upcoming Las Vegas concert. The "With You" hitmaker will perform at PH Live at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino for a special concert on Nov. 8. The performance marks the next chapter in Simpson's musical comeback. After a highly publicized January split from estranged husband Eric Johnson, Simpson returned with her first music in 15 years. She released her soulful EP "Nashville Canyon, Pt. 1" (featuring "Blame Me") in March, promoting the new tracks on the "Today" show. She is set to release a follow-up titled "Nashville Canyon, Pt. 2" on Sept. 4. Jessica Simpson and husband Eric Johnson split after 10 years of marriage "A lot of people are like, 'I didn't really listen to your music in the past, but I respected you as a singer, and I feel like this is the most you you've ever been,'" Simpson told Rolling Stone in March. "To me, that is success." The outlet revealed that she moved part-time to Nashville to produce her newest work, a retreat from Los Angeles. Since her 1999 album "Sweet Kisses," Simpson famously recorded a cover of Nancy Sinatra's "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" for the 2005 film "The Dukes of Hazzard." She also released six other studio albums and has boasted nine songs on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. In 2021, she released a No. 1 New York Times bestselling memoir "Open Book." The ex-"Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica" star left singing behind in 2010 to focus on motherhood and helm her popular clothing brand The Jessica Simpson Collection, which later became a billion-dollar fashion empire. The "I Wanna Love You Forever" singer became a mom to three kids with Johnson, who she tied the knot with in 2014: eldest daughter Maxwell Drew, son Ace Knute, and youngest daughter Birdie Mae.
