WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — The 2019 North Carolina Azalea Festival has announced the second performing artist for the Main Stage Concert Series.

Tyler Farr will perform on Thursday, April 4.

Farr is the only solo male country artist in the last 10 years to have his first two studio albums debut in the top 5 on the Billboard 200 Chart.

First with his release of Redneck Crazy in 2013, landing at Number 2 on the Billboard Country Albums Chart and #5 on the Billboard Top 200.

Tickets will go on sale Saturday at 10:00 a.m. at an early bird rate of $30.
