Eric Church Brings "Free the Machine" Tour to Brooklyn’s Barclays Center
Join the Church Choir for a one-night-only performance as Eric Church brings his Free the Machine Tour to Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on September 20, 2025.
Tour Overview and Album Details
The tour centers on Church’s eighth studio album, Evangeline vs. The Machine. Its lead single, “Hands of Time,” set a personal milestone for Church with radio adds across 135 stations in its first week. Another track from the album, “Darkest Hour,” was later used to support relief efforts following Hurricane Helene.
Artist's Inspiration and Setlist
Church has described the “machine” as a mechanism that can either stifle or sharpen creativity, a theme he explores throughout the record. Alongside new material, expect fan favorites such as “Springsteen” and “Smoke a Little Smoke.”
