Chris Stapleton in Pittsburgh

About Chris Stapleton

His shows are quiet affairs where thousands of people seem to forget how to talk. He plays with a backing band but the focus never leaves his voice. The crowd hangs on every word like he might not come back for an encore. No banter, no showmanship—just a man and his guitar for two hours straight.

Known for Tennessee Whiskey, Traveller, Nobody, From A Room: Volume 1, Starting Over Again

Chris Stapleton + Pittsburgh

Chris Stapleton played Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh on May 31, 2025, with an 18-song set that balanced the stadium-sized moments with quieter revelations. Nobody to Blame opened, and What Am I Gonna Do and Think I'm in Love With You both got their spots. Bad As I Used To Be showed up mid-set as a surprise, and Outlaw State of Mind landed early. The Cold into White Horse pairing was a nice touch before the standard Traveller into Fire Away into Broken Halos into Tennessee Whiskey closer.

Pittsburgh road trip to see Chris Stapleton?

Stay in Lawrenceville—the neighborhood's got real character now, tree-lined streets with actual restaurants instead of chains. Book a table at Smallman Galley or Legume for proper food. Spend an afternoon at the Heinz History Center learning about the city's actual past, not the sanitized version. Walk through the Strip District, grab coffee at La Prima, and check out independent record shops. The Duquesne Incline offers views worth the minimal effort. This is a city that knows how to take itself seriously without being pretentious about it.
