Billy Strings Will Return to Portland this Summer

Another big show is on the calendar at Thompson's Point in Portland.

Billy is back. Billy Strings will return to Portland this summer for a double-down tour stop. The shows at Thompson's Point are set for July 28 and 29. Tickets go on-sale Friday, February 17.

Due to expected high demand for tickets, the concert promoter is warning of a fast sell-out. The State Theatre says: "We expect demand to significantly exceed the number of tickets available, so please take advantage of the pre-sales if possible. Pre-sale codes do not guarantee tickets. Tickets will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. So if you get a code, be sure to join the sales promptly at the stated times for the best chance to get tickets."

The warning comes after a big tour nearly sold-out Thompson's Point before the general public on-sale. Tyler Childers' Send in the Hounds Tour sold-out in minutes back in November. Few tickets were left when the general public on-sale hit at 9 A.M. The remaining tickets were quickly purchased.
