Diamond Rio and The Frontmen to Headline The Amp at Dant Crossing's 2022 Concert Series




The Amp at Dant Crossing has added legendary acts Diamond Rio and The Frontmen, which includes multi-platinum and award-winning artists Richie McDonald (formerly of Lonestar), Larry Stewart of Restless Heart and Tim Rushlow (formerly of Little Texas), to the venue’s 2022 concert series lineup. Diamond Rio will perform at The Amp on Sept. 2 and The Frontmen on Oct. 28. See below for the full list of performances and to purchase tickets, click HERE.


The Amp at Dant Crossing, which "provides an incredible backdrop of quintessential Kentucky scenery (The News-Enterprise)," will kick off their 2022 lineup with Cole Swindell, Sara Evans, Blues Traveler, The Marshall Tucker Band and Lee Brice in May, with additional star-studded performances to follow throughout summer and fall. Located in the scenic enclave of Gethsemane, just south of Lexington and Louisville, the 2,000-seat amphitheater kicked off its grand opening in Summer 2021 with a sold-out show by Little Big Town. Additional performances from chart-topping acts included Better Than Ezra, Phil Vassar, Mark Wills and more.


The Amp is a part of Dant Crossing, which is a 350-acre campus featuring the Log Still Distillery offering a unique Kentucky bourbon experience. It also includes three bed-and-breakfasts, a 20,000-square-foot wedding and event venue opening this spring and more amenities opening throughout 2022.
