December 3, 2024 - Twenty-seven-time Grammy winner Alison Krauss reveals today that Alison Krauss & Union Station Featuring Jerry Douglas will embark on their first tour together in a decade next year. The Arcadia 2025 Tour will see the acclaimed group playing 73 dates across the United States and Canada in 2025. They are also set to release new music next year.

The tour will stop at Cary’s Koka Booth Amphitheatre on April 27. Tickets will go on sale to the general public on Friday, December 6th, with presales available from Wednesday, December 4th at 10AM local through Thursday, December 5th at
10PM local. See the full dates below – fans can sign up for presale access and purchase tickets here: www.AlisonKrauss.com.

Krauss has also announced that legendary 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 (IBMA), with six total 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 Alison 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.”

"To say I'm excited about recording and touring with Alison Krauss & Union Station would be a huge understatement,” adds Russell Moore. “After 40 years of playing music full-time and leading my own group for 34 years, this opportunity is among the few things at the top of the list that my music career has offered me. My hopes and desires are to fill this spot in AKUS with the same professionalism, precision, and thoughtfulness as other members who have held this position before me, and I'm looking forward to the 'ride’!”

Next year, fans can expect to hear new music from AKUS for the first time since the band’s 2011 masterpiece Paper Airplane, an album hailed as “shining, dramatic, and beautiful” by NPR Music, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Country, Bluegrass, and Folk Album charts. For nearly four decades, Alison Krauss & Union Station have upheld their legacy as one of the most influential and widely celebrated groups in American music, performing on historic stages from The Ryman to Red Rocks, Radio City to The Royal Festival Hall. They are five distinct personalities, each of whom enjoys a flourishing solo career. But when they come together, they transform into a peerless group of musicians who share a singular focus that transcends the boundaries of roots music, country, rock & roll, and pop. Reviewing a performance from the Paper Airplane tour, the Chicago Tribune called AKUS “gorgeous, warm and built for longevity,” adding “Krauss and band are wicked good players, but their true genius is measured in their restraint. This is a crew that understands understated power, a ‘less is more’ instrumental approach where every note is in service to the song.”
