Eric Church set the new bar for yet another live concert attendance with his recent The Outsiders World Tour performance at Rosemont, Illinois' Allstate Arena. Church drew in 18,626 fans during his performance that took place on March 20. Since the arena first opened its doors in 1980, it has featured some of music's biggest stars including Fleetwood Mac, The Allman Brothers, The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band, The Eagles and Paul McCartney.
"Our journey in the city started in 2005 for about 20 people on Weed Street at a place called Joe's Bar," Church says. "Those 20 were loud and proud, and they turned this thing into damn near 20,000."
The arena's previous record was set in 2007 by Vicente Fernández with 18,452 in attendance, as verified by Allstate Arena Executive Director, Patrick Nagle.
The Outsiders World Tour features a 360-degree stage configuration allowing for optimal fan engagement on the floor and in the aptly-named "Choir Loft" surrounding the stage so fans to have the upmost personal, insider experience with the Male Vocalist of the Year and Album of the Year nominated entertainer.
The tour has become known not only for its crowds but also for its varied set list which spanned nearly two-and-a-half hours last night.
