Alton Mayor Brant Walker today announced another major concert event at Liberty Bank Alton Amphitheater for the 2015 season.
“In the coming weeks, we will begin sharing all the exciting events taking place at Liberty Bank Alton Amphitheater in 2015,” said Mayor Walker. “Last month, we announced the wonderfully talented Alison Kraus & Union Station featuring Jerry Douglas will be performing on Saturday, June 13, 2015, to benefit Senior Services Plus. Today, it is my pleasure to announce country legend Dwight Yoakam will be performing on Friday, July 10, 2015 with local fan favorite the Glendale Riders as the opening act.”
With every online order for Dwight Yoakam show tickets, fans will receive one standard physical copy of his new album “Second Hand Heart,” in stores on April 14. Ticket purchasers will receive instructions via email on how to redeem their album within 10-14 business days after their order.
In addition, fans can purchase a special Dwight Yoakam VIP Experience ticket for the July 10 show. This ticket will include a reserved seat in the first five rows of the VIP area, reserved parking, and access to the VIP tent with private concession booth. It also includes a meet and greet with Dwight Yoakam, a signed souvenir, and photo opportunity. Each online order for the VIP Experience includes a copy of Dwight’s new album as well.
