Alison Krauss & Union Station featuring Jerry Douglas will embark on their first tour together in a decade next year.

The 73-date “Arcadia 2025 Tour,” which features special guest Willie Watson, kicks off on April 17 in Louisville and includes iconic venues like Red Rocks, L.A.s Greek Theatre, New York’s Beacon Theatre, Wolf Trap in Virginia and more. Krauss will also play a Nashville date on Aug. 22 at Ascend Amphitheater. Tickets will go on sale to the general public on Dec. 6, with pre-sales available from Dec. 4-5.

Krauss has also announced that vocalist and guitarist Russell Moore has joined the ranks of Union Station. Best known as the frontman for chart-topping group IIIrd Tyme Out, Moore is the most-awarded male vocalist in the history of the International Bluegrass Music Association with six wins, and has guided his group to more than 50 industry honors including seven IBMA Vocal Group of the Year titles. He joins longtime Union Station members Ron Block (banjo, guitar, vocals), Barry Bales (bass, vocals) and newly-inducted Bluegrass Hall of Fame member Jerry Douglas (Dobro, lap steel, vocals).

“I’m so grateful to get to make music again with my comrades of 40 years,” says Krauss. “They’ve always accomplished incredible work individually and have been constantly traveling because of it. We’re very inspired to experience this new exciting chapter in the band’s history.”

Next year, fans can also expect to hear new music from Krauss & Union Station for the first time since the band’s 2011 project Paper Airplane.
