Jon Pardi deals the Gamblin' Man Tour into Peoria Civic Center

Pardi, Alexandra Kay and Sadie Bass play the Civic Center on Friday, Nov. 13, the next-to-last night of the fall run.

By the time Jon Pardi's tour buses pull up downtown, the Gamblin' Man Tour will have been on the road for eight weeks. Peoria gets it with one night left in the run.

Jon Pardi plays Peoria Civic Center on Friday, Nov. 13, at 7 p.m., with Alexandra Kay and Sadie Bass. Tickets are through Ticketmaster.

The tour takes its name from "Gamblin' Man," a fan favorite off Pardi's fifth studio album, *Honkytonk Hollywood*, per uDiscover Music. It's a 19-date fall headlining run that opened Sept. 17 at Richmond's Allianz Amphitheater at Riverfront and closes Nov. 14 in Independence, Missouri, according to MusicRow. Peoria is the second-to-last stop. By now the band has a couple of months of shows behind it, and the end of a tour can loosen everybody up.

The openers are part of the draw. Pardi brought on Alexandra Kay and Sadie Bass as support for the entire tour, as iHeart reported when he announced it. Kay has her first hit with "Straight for the Heart," so a good part of the room will know at least one of her songs before she starts. Bass rounds out an early start, so it's worth getting to your seat close to 7.

If Pardi's name means one thing to you, it's probably the honky-tonk side of mainstream country. All Country News billed this tour as bringing honky-tonk heat across America, and that's the promise for a Friday night on the river.

The Civic Center is set up for a show this size. Its arena holds 11,442. It's a Friday, so the downtown restaurants and bars will be busy before and after. Plan for parking.

Peoria is the second-to-last stop, and the end of a tour can loosen everybody up.

There's an argument for catching a tour late in the run: the set is tight, the band knows where the big moments are, and the headliner knows it's nearly over. Peoria gets that version of the Gamblin' Man Tour.
