Country thunder 2025 attendees enjoy the weekend
Country Thunder 2025 attendees drink and dance their way through the Florence festival.
Chris Stapleton arrived at the newly renovated Desert Diamond Arena on Friday, Aug. 8, for the opening show of a two-night stand in Glendale, Arizona, with special guest Marty Stuart and the aptly titled Fabulous Superlatives as part of the All-American Road Show Tour.
Stapleton’s latest album, “Higher,” made the rounds of year-end best-of lists in 2023, including Billboard, Esquire, Vulture and Rolling Stone, whose critic called the album “the best evidence yet for the way one man’s voice has become synonymous with the very idea of a musical genre.”
And there were several highlights from that album in the Glendale setlist mix, including the hit singles “White Horse” and “Think I’m in Love With You.”
But that still left plenty of room for the songs that made him popular enough to need a second night to meet demand for tickets in a venue that holds 19,000 people, from “Tennessee Whiskey” to “You Should Probably Leave.”
