"We're thrilled to bring Justin Moore and Joe Nichols to the MAD Amphitheater stage! Both artists have previously won a Country Music Award for “Best New Artist of the Year,” and both are Arkansas natives. Get your tickets now and let’s fill the amphitheater up for a loud and proud night of country music in El Dorado!”, said Joanna Benson, MAD Marketing Manager. 

Multi-Platinum hitmaker Justin Moore has built a loyal following over the past decade with his traditional country sound and captivating live shows. The Arkansas-native just notched his 12th No. 1 with “You, Me, and Whiskey,” a smoldering duet with Priscilla Block. Over his 10+ year career, Moore’s No. 1 hits have included “Point at You,” “Lettin’ The Night Roll” “If Heaven Wasn’t So Far Away,” “Small Town USA,” and “Till My Last Day,” as well as Platinum-certified albums and singles. The Valory Music Co. recording artist has earned multiple ACM, ACA, People’s Choice, and ACC Awards nominations, as well as an ACM Award win. In addition to multiple festivals, headline shows and select direct-support dates, Moore has also been busy hosting his Justin Moore Podcast sponsored by Bobcat with tour manager JR, interviewing guests such as Oscar award-winning actor Matthew McConaughey; Country stars Tracy Lawrence, Jon Pardi, Brantley Gilbert; wrestling champion Diamond Dallas Page and ESPN’s Marty Smith. He also recently took on a new role as co-host on 103.7 The Buzz’s morning drive-time sports talk show, “Morning Mayhem,” where he spends his weekday mornings dishing out his never-ending sports knowledge on-air.

Joe Nichols has been a mainstay of country music for two decades, bridging the gap between the genre’s old-school roots and contemporary era. He’s a 21st century traditionalist — an artist who’s both timely and timeless, racking up a half-dozen Number 1 singles and ten Top 10 hits with a sound that honors his heroes. From his first radio smash, 2002’s “The Impossible,” to 2021’s Home Run,” Nichols has proudly done things his own way, blurring the boundaries between country music’s past and present along the way.

Raised in a family with a deep appreciation for country music, Nichols was influenced by legends such as Merle Haggard, George Jones, and Conway Twitty. Inspired by their storytelling prowess and emotive performances, he embarked on his own musical path, honing his craft, and developing a style uniquely his own.

Nichols' breakthrough came in the early 2000s with the release of his debut album, "Joe Nichols." The album spawned the hit singles "The Impossible" and "Brokenheartsville," catapulting him into the spotlight and earning him widespread acclaim. His soulful voice and authentic delivery resonated with audiences, establishing him as a rising star in the country music scene.

Subsequent albums, including "Revelation," "III," and "Crickets," further solidified Nichols' reputation as a powerhouse vocalist and talented songwriter. With chart-topping hits like "Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off," "Gimmie That Girl," and "Sunny and 75," he continued to dominate the airwaves and win the hearts of fans around the globe.

Throughout his career, Nichols has received numerous accolades, including Grammy nominations, ACM Awards, and CMA Awards. His contributions to country music have been recognized by peers and industry insiders alike, cementing his status as one of the genre's most enduring artists.
