April 16, 2025—Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats have announced a new performance at Asheville, NC’s Asheville Yards Amphitheater on June 24.

$1 per ticket will go to Rural Organizing And Resilience, based in North Carolina, who has provided resources for flood victims and continues to support mountain communities by countering systems of oppression through education, outreach, empowerment and mutual aid.

Tickets and VIP packages for the concert are available now with an artist presale using the code “NRNS25” here. General on-sale begins Friday, April 18 at 10 A.M. (local) here. Full details and list of upcoming dates can be found here.

The initiative comes following the band’s completion of their milestone, first-ever arena tour in support of their critically acclaimed album South of Here, out now via Stax—listen here.

Watch Jimmy Fallon make a surprise appearance at their landmark, sold-out show at Madison Square Garden, as he joined the band for their encore and gave an electric rendition of their hit song "S.O.B." here. The masterful MSG performance, which also saw support from Gregory Alan Isakov, follows the band's appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on March 24—watch here.

The tour also saw stops at Los Angeles’s Kia Forum, Boston’s MGM Music Hall at Fenway, Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena and a slew of performances in Canada, including at Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena. The first leg of the arena tour saw electric performances at Red Rocks, Chicago’s United Center, and St. Paul’s Excel Center. Pioneer Press praised Rateliff’s “twangy voice exploding out of guitars and keyboards and horns into roaring, soaring choruses”—see more critical acclaim for the tour below.

The tour caps off another highlight year for the band, which saw two #1s: “Heartless” and “Call Me (Whatever You Like)” from their critically acclaimed fourth full-length studio album, South of Here, both topped the Adult Alternative Chart, marking their 7th and 8th #1s to date. See the band perform “Heartless” on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert here and an excerpt from their special on the Howard Stern Show here.

Additionally, Rateliff has been appointed as Newport Folk Steward, the first artist to hold such a role at the legendary festival since Pete Seeger. The position holds a three-year term, which will see Rateliff serving as Steward actively for two years and advising the next recipient during a third transition year. Rateliff has chosen to devote his term to artist advocacy, fellowship and mentorship both at the Fort and beyond.

Critical acclaim for Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats’ Live Show:

“One of the most powerful voices in folk music as his gruff baritone is able to expand in range and fill up an entire room without a microphone…It will give you chills,”—Chicago Tribune

"Tracks like “I Need Never Get Old,” “You Worry Me,” “Survivor” and “David and Goliath” from the newest album, feature Rateliff’s twangy voice exploding out of guitars and keyboards and horns into roaring, soaring choruses […] With ruffled hair and a showmanship that came across as authentic and humble […] The seven-piece band included, gloriously, a horn section with a trumpet and two saxophones, and everyone delivered. No funny business, just good musicianship.”—Pioneer Press

Saturday’s high-energy, often breathlessly paced performance demonstrated how much know-how they picked up along the way and how well their no-nonsense approach works in whatever room they’re playing. This was one arena concert that was all about the music and nothing else […] Even after a decade of hard touring, the burly 46-year-old singer still has a powerful and booming voice graced with a tender, wearied undertone."—The Minnesota Star Tribune

“Rateliff and his 7-man Night Sweats churn through a fast-paced set of tight, taut, heavy-grooving soul-rock; the band clad all in black, filling the balmy air with electric energy… the man’s got one of rock ‘n’ roll’s most versatile voices.”—Relix

“One of the few singer-songwriters in the country who could pump foot-stomping energy through the venue with the Night Sweats and then have an audience in tears with heartfelt solo material.” —Westword

"It’s no wonder that Rateliff and his Night Sweats have become one of the premier live acts across all genres because their songs, like all great soul-based songs, are tailor made to be performed live.""—Americana Highways
