What is the Setlist for Eric Church’s 2025 Tour?
Eric Church’s 2025 tour hasn’t kicked off yet — and considering that he promised fans that these shows will be “different than anything you’ve ever seen or heard from us before,” it’s hard to estimate exactly what he has up his sleeve.
Indeed, in the past, he’s been known to boldly follow his own artistic sensibilities, like when he delivered a polarizing set at Stagecoach 2024 that included renditions of “This Little Light of Mine,” Tupac Shakur’s “California Love,” and Snoop Dogg’s “Gin and Juice.”
But throughout his career, Church does typically play at least some go-to live cuts and hits, like “Smoke a Little Smoke,” “Drink in My Hand, “Creepin’” “Springsteen,” and others.
