Oak Ridge Boys: American Made Farewell Tour
Academy Member Presale begins Monday, April 28, 2025. Remaining tickets will be released to the public on Friday, May 2, 2025. All sales begin at 10 AM EST.
American Made: Farewell Tour is coming to town!
With a sound that has defined American music for over five decades, The Oak Ridge Boys are hitting the road one final time. This unforgettable night of music celebrates their extraordinary legacy, with a show the whole family can enjoy. From Grammy-winning hits to fan-favorite anthems, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience these country music legends live.
The setlist features their signature country smashes and two beloved pop crossover hits—songs that earned the group Grammy, Dove, CMA, and ACM awards, along with the hearts of fans worldwide. “When I go on stage, I get the same feeling I had the first time I sang with The Oak Ridge Boys,” shares lead singer Duane Allen. “This is the only job I’ve ever wanted to have.”
Joining Allen on this farewell run are baritone William Lee Golden, bass Richard Sterban, and tenor Ben James—who first sang with the group in 2022 when longtime member Joe Bonsall passed him the mic during a show. Bonsall has since retired from touring due to a neuromuscular disorder, but his spirit remains at the heart of every performance. “There is a young man named Ben James singing for me out there, and he needs your love and encouragement,” Bonsall said. “God’s Got It!!!”
As a final chapter to their celebrated journey, The Oak Ridge Boys returned to the studio with Grammy-winning producer Dave Cobb, marking their fifth collaboration with the Nashville legend. The American Made: Farewell Tour is more than a concert—it’s a celebration of an iconic career. Be there to witness it.
