Scotty McCreery will celebrate a career first in 2025. The North Carolina native will play his first show in Music City in five years, and mark his first-ever show at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, when he serves as an opening act for  Kane Brown on Brown’s The High Road Tour.

McCreery spoke out about the important date on social media.

“Next April 11th, I’m playing a show in Nashville with my buddy Kane Brown,” McCreery writes. “It’s my first Nashville show in 5 years and my first show EVER at Bridgestone Arena … this is going to be a great one y’all! Will you be there?”

McCreery has already celebrated plenty of career highs in recent years, including six No. 1 singles, and his current Top 40  “Fall of Summer” single, from his latest Rise & Fall album, the most-added at radio when it was released. And the 31-year-old isn’t taking any of it for granted.

“It took a lot for me to get to this place,” McCreery shared with Everything Nash and other outlets, at a recent media event. “I think for one, growing up. I started so young, as we all know … I remember people being like, ‘What’s this kid going to sing about?’ It used to tick me off, but now I’m like, ‘What was I singing about?’ I hadn’t lived a lot of life. But those days were not that long ago, in the grand scheme of things, where I’d never had a No. 1.

“I had songs that I believed in, but wasn’t sure if they’d get out there,” he continued. “Ever since ‘Five More Minutes,’ and just the roll we’ve been on, it feels good. It feels very fulfilling. My fans have been by my side since before No.1s and it’s just grown since then.”

Success and accolades aside, the North Carolina native vows to remain appreciative of his fans, and their support that continues to help me achieve more and more in his career.

“I think more than ever at this point in my career … I’m thankful and I’m grateful,” McCreery said earlier this year. “As opposed to looking around at other artists that might be playing bigger venues or had songs that hit No. 1 quicker. I’m like, if somebody would have told me I’d be doing this at 30, I’d shake their hand immediately and be so thrilled. Mentally and career-wise, I’m at a really great spot.”

Rise and Fall, McCreery’s fifth studio album, debuted at No. 1 when it was released, just another indication that McCreery’s career is on a swift and steady upward swing.

“I do think there’s a song on there for everybody,” McCreery recently told Everything Nash. “My previous records used to be so autobiographical. They were autobiographical. And this one, there’s a couple of those songs on there, but I really feel like there are songs for different seasons of life, and different times. Your party songs, your serious songs, your love songs, your heartbreak songs. We got a little taste of everything on there.”

McCreery is currently headlining his  Fall of Summer Tour, and will headline his own UK Tour in 2025.  Find all of McCreery’s music and upcoming shows, including his dates with Brown, at ScottyMcCreery.com.
