Passes go on sale Friday, March 13 at 10 a.m. PST at rt91harvest.com.

“Our first year in Vegas really exceeded our expectations,” said Brian O’Connell President of Live Nation Country Touring. “We’re definitely using what we learned the first time around and feedback we heard from the fans to change a few things up to make it even better this year. We’re excited for Sin City to go country for the weekend!”

There will be new VIP options available including Neon Lounge VIP passes which will allow fans to enjoy a shaded side stage lounge, upgraded restrooms and special access to a cash bar and food concessions.

Old Crow Medicine Show has been on fire lately!

  • On September 17th, 2013 they were inducted into the Grand Ole Opry
  • They also recently won the Grammy for Best Long Form Music Video for the film, “Big Easy Express”
  • Their classic song, “Wagon Wheel,” recently received the RIAA’s platinum certification for selling over 1,000,000 copies!

The band was discovered by folk icon Don Watson, who found them playing in front of a pharmacy in Boone, NC.  He booked them to play MerleFest, which led to them eventually finding their way to Nashville where they were the between-shows band at the Grand Ole Opry.

It’s been fifteen years since those humble beginnings and they have gone on to take the world by storm.

See their latest video, “Brushy Mountain Conjugal Trailer” from their Grammy winning album, Remedy. This video was shot at the Tennessee State Prison, which has been the back drop for many films, including “The Green Mile”!
