Billy Strings Sets 15 Spring 2027 Shows, With Five in St. Augustine

By Daniel Okafor

Billy Strings has announced 15 spring 2027 concert dates, including five shows at the outdoor St. Augustine Amphitheatre from April 8 through April 13.

The run opens April 6 at Benchmark International Arena in Tampa. It then moves through North Charleston, Greenville and Greensboro before June dates in Birmingham and St. Louis. Across the 15-date run, Strings visits five states, with the route moving from Florida through the Carolinas before reaching Alabama and Missouri during the final June leg.

St. Augustine receives five dates; every other city gets one or two. The tour announcement identifies Strings as a Grammy-winning guitarist. That makes the St. Augustine run the itinerary’s clearest priority. It is also the least subtle.

What does the spring itinerary cover?

Strings plays Benchmark International Arena once, then takes the St. Augustine Amphitheatre stage on April 8, 9, 10, 12 and 13. North Charleston Coliseum hosts April 16 and 17, while Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville hosts April 21. The route then reaches Greensboro for April 23 and 24.

Birmingham’s Legacy Arena at the BJCC hosts June 4 and 5. St. Louis closes the announced run at Chaifetz Arena on June 10 and 11. The calendar concentrates on the American South. It offers two-night stands in North Charleston, Greensboro, Birmingham and St. Louis. St. Augustine supplies the only longer engagement. The mathematics are unusually blunt.

What can audiences expect from the shows?

According to Strings’ spring tour announcement, his live work pushes traditional bluegrass (fast acoustic string music rooted in American traditions) into unexpected territory. The description emphasizes lightning-fast guitar playing, adventurous improvisation and songs rooted in American acoustic music.

His flatpicking (fast picked-note guitar work) and improvisational instincts anchor that approach, allowing the announcement to say a show can move from “delicate storytelling” to “full-throttle instrumental fireworks,” sometimes within the same tune.

That range gives the multiple-night stands a practical purpose. Strings can vary the order, pacing and emotional weight of the material from night to night. Five St. Augustine dates make those variations easier to hear. Repetition becomes the test.

The dates follow Strings’ latest album, So Much for Goodbyes, a 16-track collection produced with T Bone Burnett. The announcement calls the record deeply personal and its songwriting more reflective, while noting that the experimentation continues. Its artwork uses original work by his late mother, Debra Apostol. That family connection gives the album a documented personal frame.

Strings’ case for touring personal material is equally direct. The announcement says songs can develop “new personalities” each time he performs them. The claim belongs to promotional language, not a guarantee of variation in the sequence of songs. Still, five nights in one place provide a fair test. The repetition will make that claim measurable.

When can fans request tickets?

Requests for general admission (unreserved pit and floor access) tickets through Ticketmaster Request must arrive by November 11 at 11:59 p.m. ET. St. Augustine is the exception. According to the announcement, tickets throughout the venue are available through the Fair AXS request system.

Presales (early sales for other seating sections) begin November 18 at 10 a.m. local time, followed by the general sale on November 20. The November 11 deadline applies to Ticketmaster Request. Fans who miss it must wait for the later sale dates. St. Augustine remains a separate case through Fair AXS.
