The tour will kick off on Jan. 20 in Albany, N.Y. with Greensky Bluegrass, touring through most of the east coast and into parts of the midwest and southeast. Dustbowl Revival will hop on towards the end of March to make several stops in California, wrapping the four-month tour in Seattle on April 9. Tickets go on sale today at 1 p.m. eastern.
