Fort Worth has finally crossed the King of Country’s mind.
Dickies Arena has announced that country legend George Strait will play at the arena Friday, Nov. 22, 2019. It is the first performance announced for the venue. It will begin at 8 p.m. with Asleep at the Wheel opening for Strait.
Tickets go on sale to the public on Friday, Dec. 7 at 10 a.m. at Ticketmaster.com. Prices range from $19.82 to $250, with limited tickets available at $19.82 to commemorate one of Strait’s only Fort Worth performances at Billy Bob’s in 1982. VIP packages will also be available.
“We are thrilled make Texas legend George Strait our first concert announcement at Dickies Arena,” Trail Drive Management Corp.’s Matt Homan, president and general manager of Dickies Arena, said in a news release. “This performance will be in one of George Strait’s most intimate arena settings, and we can’t wait to bring this to Fort Worth.”
Strait has sold more than 68.5 million records and has 60 No. 1 songs, more than any other artist in history. The King of Country Music is also the only artist in history to have a top ten hit every year for thirty years.
His hits include Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind, which includes these lyrics:
Cold Fort Worth beer just ain’t no good for jealous I tried it night after night You’re in someone else’s arms in Dallas Does Fort Worth ever cross your mind?
Be good if that beer is brewed in Fort Worth.
Dickies Arena is scheduled to open in November 2019 and will host concerts, sporting events and family entertainment in a 14,000-seat multipurpose venue located adjacent to the Will Rogers Memorial Center in Fort Worth.
