Johnson is set to headline the Rangers stadium this fall

Five-time ACM nominee Cody Johnson threw out the ceremonial first pitch before the Texas Rangers versus Seattle Mariners home game last night (Tues, Apr 23rd) at Globe Life Field. Johnson spent the day at the ballpark talking to the media, attending batting practice to meet with the players and coaches, and taking some swings in the cage himself.

The country star will return to the city on November 9th as he brings his Leather Tour to Globe Life Field. Jon Pardi will join as a special guest.

Presales for the Globe Life Stadium show are available through Thursday, April 25th at 10 pm CT ahead of the public on sale on Friday, April 26th at 10 am local time.

Johnson continues the Leather Tour this weekend and heads into the May 16th Academy of Country Music Awards as one of the night’s most-nominated artists with five nominations.
