Prior to their European tour supporting Luke Combs, the band will make their London debut at the&nbsp;<strong>C2C: Country to Country<\/strong>&nbsp;Music Festival (March 10-12) alongside Zac Brown Band, Midland, and more. They will return to the historic Grand Ole Opry stage for their second appearance &amp; make their StageCoach debut in April. In September, the band will also return to the Bristol Rhythm &amp; Roots Reunion, where they have solidified themselves as a fan favorite every year. Please see all dates below.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Formed on Winchester Street in the small mountain town of Castlewood, Virginia (population: 2,045), 49 Winchester started as a group of neighborhood teenage friends set on a calculated DIY path. In 2014 they independently released their eponymous debut, followed by 2018\u2019s&nbsp;<em>The Wind<\/em>, and 2020\u2019s celebrated<em>&nbsp;III<\/em>. Reflecting on his early days as a jack-of-all-trades stone mason, where it was about trying to make ends meet in an effort to keep the band rolling along, frontman Gibson can\u2019t help but be grateful for a well-earned notion at the core of the band\u2019s ethos \u2014 anything worthwhile in life is built brick-by-brick.&nbsp;<em>\u201cEverything has to be built. And very few people are going to achieve success overnight,\u201d<\/em>&nbsp;says Gibson.&nbsp;<em>\u201cWe didn\u2019t start out as a bunch of hot shot pickers out of Nashville. We started out on the ground floor \u2014 very basic songwriting and instrumentation. But we kept working at it, always progressing in what we wanted to do and how we wanted to sound \u2014 each song better than the previous one, the show this evening better than last night.\u201d&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>49 Winchester\u2019s&nbsp;<em>Fortune Favors The Bold<\/em>&nbsp;is available&nbsp;<strong>NOW<\/strong>&nbsp;via&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/newwst.com\/fortunefavors\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>NEW WEST RECORDS<\/strong><\/a>.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>49 Winchester On Tour:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>March 10-12 &#8211; London UK &#8211; C2C Music Festival, O2 Arena<\/strong><br>March 17 &#8211; Anderson SC &#8211; Wendells Dippin Branch<br>March 18 &#8211; Columbia SC &#8211; St. Pat\u2019s in Five Points<br>March 31 &#8211; Bristol TN &#8211; Paramount Center for the Arts *Night 1<br><br>April 1 &#8211; Bristol TN &#8211; Paramount Center for the Arts *Night 2<br>April 5 &#8211; Oxford OH &#8211; Brick Street<br>April 6 &#8211; Columbus OH &#8211; A&amp;R Music Bar<br>April 7 &#8211; Pittsburgh PA &#8211; Thunderbird Cafe<br>April 14 &#8211; Mccaysville GA &#8211; TOONEYS Music Venue<br>April 15 &#8211; Helena AL &#8211; Helena Amphitheater<br>April 18 &#8211; Nashville TN &#8211; Grand Ole Opry<br>April 20 &#8211; Oklahoma City OK &#8211; Beer City Music Hall<br>April 22 &#8211; Fort Worth TX &#8211; Tulips FTW<br>April 25 &#8211; Tucson AZ &#8211; Rialto Theatre<br>April 27 &#8211; Phoenix AZ &#8211; Valley Bar<br>April 28 &#8211; Flagstaff AZ &#8211; The Museum Club<br>April 30 &#8211; Indio CA &#8211; Stagecoach Festival<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>May 2 &#8211; Santa Fe NM &#8211; Tumbleroot Brewery and Distillery<br>May 4 &#8211; Denver CO &#8211; Bluebird Theater<br>May 5 &#8211; Hays KS &#8211; Fox Theatre<br>May 6 &#8211; Kansas City MO &#8211; Knuckleheads<br>May 12-13 &#8211; Huntersville NC &#8211; North Carolina Brewers and Music Festival&nbsp;<br>May 19 &#8211; Winchester VA &#8211; Katie\u2019s House Country Music Festival<br>May 21 &#8211; Richmond VA &#8211; Dominion Riverrock Festival<br>May 27 &#8211; Worcester MA &#8211; Country Carnival Music Festival<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>June 1 &#8211; Decatur IL &#8211; Devon Lakeshore Amphitheater<br>June 3 &#8211; Chattanooga TN &#8211; Riverbend Festival<br>June 4 &#8211; Lexington KY &#8211; Railbird Music Festival<br>June 9-10 &#8211; Pineville KY &#8211; Laurel Cove Music Festival<br>June 16 &#8211; Wise VA &#8211; VA-KY District Fair&nbsp;<br>June 23 &#8211; New Martinsville WV &#8211; Back Home Festival<br>June 24 &#8211; Hamilton OH &#8211; Whimmydiddle Festival<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>July 14-16 &#8211; Whitefish MT &#8211; Under the Big Sky Festival<br>July 21 &#8211; Yerington NV &#8211; Night in The Country<br>July 28-29 &#8211; Fort Smith AR &#8211; Peacemaker Festival<br>August 3 &#8211; Huber Heights OH &#8211; Rose Music Center at the Heights<br>August 4 &#8211; Cincinnati OH &#8211; PNC Pavilion<br>August 5 &#8211; Charlottesville VA &#8211; Ting Pavilion<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>September 8-10 &#8211; Bristol TN &#8211; Bristol Rhythm &amp; Roots Reunion<br><strong>September 30 &#8211; Oslo NO &#8211; Spektrum #<br><br>October 1 &#8211; Stockholm SE &#8211; Avicii Arena #<br>October 4 &#8211; Copenhagen DK &#8211; VEGA Forum #<br>October 6 &#8211; Hamburg DE &#8211; Barclays Arena #<br>October 7 &#8211; Amsterdam NL &#8211; AFAS Live #<br>October 8 &#8211; Paris FR &#8211; La Cigale #<br>October 10 &#8211; Zurich CH &#8211; The Hall #<br>October 11 &#8211; Brussels BE &#8211; Ancienne Belgique #<br>October 13 &#8211; Dublin IE &#8211; 3 Arena #<br>October 14 &#8211; Belfast UK &#8211; SSE Arena #<br>October 16 &#8211; Glasgow UK &#8211; OVO Hydro Arena #<br>October 17 &#8211; Manchester UK &#8211; AO Arena #<br>October 19 &#8211; London UK &#8211; O2 Arena *Night 1 #<br>October 20 &#8211; London UK &#8211; O2 Arena *Night 2 #<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TO APPEAR AT STAGECOACH, C2C: COUNTRY TO COUNTRY MUSIC FESTIVAL, BRISTOL RHYTHM &amp; ROOTS REUNION, AND RETURN TO THE HISTORIC GRAND OLE OPRY STAGE 49 Winchester\u00a0have announced their first ever European live dates as direct support for\u00a0Luke Combs\u2019 2023 World Tour.
