Shania Twain Announces Her First Upstate NY Concert in 25 Years

We’re not even out of October and Upstate New York is already looking at a massive new year of live music. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, John Mellencamp, and Matchbox 20 are all taking center stage across the region in 2023, with many more on the way – but a new announcement might be one of the biggest shows of the year.

Country music legend Shania Twain has been teasing and releasing new music for the past few months, creating a huge stir on social media. Shania’s last album, Now, came out in 2017 and was figured to be her last. Well as of an announcement today, expect her new album Queen of Me on February 3.

This time she’ll be at St. Joseph’s Amphitheater in Syracuse on July 8^th with special guest, Breland. Tickets go on sale Friday, November 4^th at 10a via LiveNation.
