My Morning Jacket and Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats are performing equal sets during the show scheduled for Live Oak Bank Pavilion on Sept. 10. Tickets go on sale Friday, Mar. 29, 10 a.m.
The 11-stop tour kicks off in Wilmington and ends Raleigh on Sept. 28. The bands are partnering with the nonprofit REVERB, in an effort to reduce the environmental footprint of touring and take action on the climate crisis. “In addition to a comprehensive tour sustainability program and fan Action Village at each show, the bands will be supporting REVERB’s climate portfolio which funds projects that measurably reduce greenhouse gas pollution, address climate justice, and directly decarbonize the music industry,” according to a release.
Both acts have performed in the Port City before, with MMJ coming through LOBP in 2022 and Nathaniel Ratliff and the Night Sweats performing at both Greenfield Lake Amphitheater and LOBP throughout the years.
