The King at Kyle Field Set to Surpass 2014 AT-T Attendance Record

The demand for George Strait's only show in Texas in 2024, 'The King at Kyle Field' on June 15, is so great that he is on track to best his own all-time indoor attendance record of 104,793 set in 2014 at his final Cowboy Rides Away finale at ATandT Stadium. The San Antonio Express-News reported the news earlier this week.
"George has always said he has the best fans, and there's nothing like a Texas crowd," shares longtime promoter and founder of Messina Touring Group, Louis Messina. "We knew the show at Kyle Field would be exciting as it's the first-ever one of its size to be held in the stadium, but even I didn't expect we'd sell over 100,000 tickets in just a few days. He'll play to more people in one night than we did at ATandT in 2014! It's a testament to George's reputation as an entertainer and performer that here we are, still setting records and personal bests years later."
Announced on March 19, it's the shortest time in Strait's career that a single show has moved over 100,000 tickets. On June 15, the King of Country Music will be joined by special guests Parker McCollum and Catie Offerman.
Tickets to the Kyle Field performance went on sale to the general public Thursday, March 28, at 10 a.m. CT via TheKingAtKyle.com.
The news follows the recent announcement that Strait will once again team up with Chris Stapleton to perform one-off stadium dates this year with stops at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium, Chicago’s Soldier Field, Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium and more. Joining Strait and Stapleton for those nine dates are special guests Little Big Town.
"We've spent the last few years playing specialty one-off shows in markets he'll likely never play again," adds Messina. "I'm excited about this summer of special shows with Chris Stapleton - it's always been such a great experience for the fans. Bringing these magical nights from the King of Country music to fans has been one of the greatest honors of my life."
