SUMMARY:JON PARDI
DESCRIPTION:  \nJON PARDI RETURNS TO THE LIGHTS IN WEST FARGO  \nCountry Star Jon Pardi to play on Midco Stage at Essentia Health Plaza at The Lights. Ernest and Henning is excited to announce the return of Jon Pardi to play live on MIDCO Stage at Essentia Health Plaza at The Lights on Thursday\, July 16th at 7:00pm.

The 17-track album is the spiritual successor to his fearless breakout hits\, once again showcasing his commitment to staying true to himself\, yet giving his signature sound a new spark. With four Top 5 albums under his belt – including 2016’s Platinum #1\, CALIFORNIA SUNRISE – Pardi has solidified his place in country music. Never afraid to break from the pack\, fourteen RIAA-certified singles feature six No. One’s (like the back-to-back 6x Platinum “Head Over Boots” and “Dirt On My Boots”)\, and with years of blue-collar barnstorming behind him\, the California native has earned his international headlining acclaim\, alongside 9.3 billion global streams. For more information on new music and for a full list of upcoming tour dates\, visit JonPardi.com. \nTicket Details\nGeneral Admission (GA) tickets are available. All tickets are standing room only. Tickets for this performance start at an all-in price (FEES INCLUDED) of $89. Tickets are on sale now at Ticketmaster.com. This event will be RAIN OR SHINE\, and tickets are non-refundable. \n\n\n
