Chris Janson returns to Snowden Grove on April 22, his first Memphis-area show since 2019

Nearly eight years after his last stop at the Southaven amphitheater, the country singer is back on a Thursday night in April.

The last time Chris Janson played for a Memphis crowd was July 18, 2019, at the amphitheater in Southaven. Nearly eight years later, he's booked the same stage.

Chris Janson plays BankPlus Amphitheater at Snowden Grove on Thursday, April 22, 2027, at 7 p.m. The show was announced Oct. 14, and tickets run $34.20 to $128.05 through Ticketmaster. Snowden Grove holds about 11,000, so there's room for everyone from the lawn crowd to the folks who want to be close enough to see him sweat.

The gap is notable because Janson hasn't exactly been resting. Since that 2019 visit, he has kept up a steady run of records and tours. In August 2025, ClickOnDetroit covered a new album release, and his Wild Horses Untamed Tour had dates set through February 2026, according to The Music Universe. WIOV and Fox News have both talked with him about his album *All In*, and Nashville's NewsChannel 5 has profiled how far he's come.

The 2027 run is just starting to take shape. The Music Universe reported that Janson's first announced date of next year is a Jan. 22 headline show at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium, with more dates to follow. Southaven, three months later, is part of that rollout — which means Memphis is getting him in the thick of a fresh touring year rather than at the tail end of a long one.

What to expect? Janson plays harmonica, and an amphitheater in late April — warm enough to sit outside, not yet the heat of a Mid-South summer — is a good setting for a country night.

For locals, Snowden Grove is a familiar trip down I-55 from the city. It's also the same room where Janson last played this market, which gives the return a nice symmetry: same stage, different chapter.

Some practical notes. A 7 p.m. start on a Thursday means leaving work a little early if you're coming from Memphis proper — amphitheater parking and traffic take time. Ticket prices cover a wide range, so check sightlines before you buy; the cheapest seats and the priciest ones will be very different nights. And bring a jacket. April evenings can turn cool once the sun goes down.

Eight years is a long time between visits. Janson's fans in the Memphis area have earned this one.
