Tickets

As of Wednesday, a few tickets for the show were still available at www.ticketmaster.com or at the Amphitheater box office, 2710 Jack Warner Parkway. Tickets cost  $159.50 for general admission in the pit, with reserved seats at $159.50, $129.50, $109.50, $99.50, $79.50, $59.50, and $39.50, plus fees.

Going to the show? What you need to know

Concert-goers would be wise to arrive early because of the big crowd expected and ongoing construction near the amphitheater: Jack Warner Parkway remains closed between Greensboro and 21st avenues, though one eastbound lane is still open for businesses on the south side of Jack Warner Parkway in the area.

The forecast for Thursday afternoon and evening calls for steamy temperatures and a chance of showers and thunderstorms .

Concert-goers should check the weather before leaving and monitor the Tuscaloosa Amphitheater's Facebook and Twitter accounts for any possible weather delays. Earlier shows this summer featuring the Black Crowes and the Tedeschi Trucks Band had delays because of lighting. Last week's sold out Chris Stapleton concert went off without a hitch despite rain chances in the forecast.

Umbrellas are not allowed inside the amphitheater.

Conner Smith, singer of "I Hate Alabama," has found his touring schedule heating up since the single took off on TikTok, and elsewhere.

Parking will be available under the train trestle, west of the Amp, and in on-street parking spaces throughout downtown Tuscaloosa.

Free shuttles will run from the Tuscaloosa Intermodal Facility, at 601 23rd Ave., adjacent to Government Park. The free 445-space, 24-7 four-level parking deck will have shuttles running from one hour before gates open, and continuing until patrons have cleared out.

The next amphitheater show will be Aug. 12 featuring Fantasia and Babyface. Other upcoming concerts include LANY and Surfaces on Aug. 29; Kem, Stokley and  Leela James on Sept. 2; Whiskey Myers and the Read Southall Band on Oct. 13; and Travis Tritt, Chris Janson and War Hippies on Oct. 19.
