Brantley Gilbert is bringing The Tattoos Tour 2025 to the Salem Civic Center on Thursday night, March 20. Special guests that night will include Black Stone Cherry, Austin Snell, and Colt Ford. Tickets start at $25, plus applicable fees and go on sale Friday, Nov. 29, at 10 a.m.
This appearance will mark Gilbert’s fifth trip to Salem. In 2014, he headlined the Blue Ridge Music Festival at Salem Stadium and in 2016, 2018 and 2020 he filled the Salem Civic Center arena.
“My hope is that with tickets starting at $25, people can step away from everyday stresses and enjoy themselves,” Gilbert said. “Whether it’s making it a fun evening with the family or giving mom and dad the chance to hire a babysitter and have a night out just for them. Music has always been about bringing people together and offering a break from the grind, even if it’s just for a few hours.”
While this will mark the Salem debut for Black Stone Cherry and Austin Snell, Colt Ford certainly is no stranger to Salem stages. He played both the arena and the stadium in the 2013 calendar year, and he returned for his third Salem stop in 2015 at the final Blue Ridge Music Festival.
About Brantley Gilbert
As one of the godfathers of country’s modern rock-and-rap edge, multi-Platinum The Valory Music Co. trailblazer Brantley Gilbert knows life has a way of leaving a mark. With his seventh studio album, Tattoos, available now, the Georgia native chooses to embrace it – inspired by the idea that his tattoos tell a story, just like his songs. And just like his songs, he’ll never hide the truth they reveal. With his dedicated BG Nation behind him, the fiery performer-songwriter has racked up more than 8.3 BILLION career streams, boasting back-to-back Platinum albums and seven No. 1 hits including the RIAA 7x Platinum “Bottoms Up;” 2x Platinum “Country Must Be Country Wide;” 2x Platinum “You Don’t Know Her Like I Do;” 2x Platinum “One Hell of An Amen;” and the Platinum-certified “What Happens In A Small Town” with Lindsay Ell. Tattoos further cements his legacy – 10 cowritten, co-produced tracks with an electrifying mix of in-your-face aggression and roughneck reflection, as Gilbert’s diesel-powered smoke-and-soul vocal delivers another full-spectrum soundtrack to modern country life. Gilbert will embark on his headlining Tattoos Tour 2025 in February, with stops across North America through the spring, with additional festival dates this summer.
