Eric Church won a 2011 Academy of Country Music Award as top new solo vocalist.Tickets for the 7:30 p.m. show -- with openers Justin Moore and Kip Moore -- are $37.50-$42.50 for reserved seats, $47.50 for general admission on the floor.
They go on sale at 10 a.m. June 15 through Ticketmaster, according to promoter Red Mountain Entertainment.
Church, 35, recently added 45 dates to his concert agenda, extending its run through the fall and winter. The Birmingham appearance is one of these shows, which stretch from Sept. 13 in Amherst, Mass., to Dec. 15 in Sunrise, Fla.
The singer-songwriter is known for radio hits such as "Springsteen," "Drink in My Hand," "Homeboy," "Hell on the Heart" and "Love Your Love the Most." Church's 2011 record, "Chief," reached No. 1 on the country charts. He has two other studio albums to his credit, "Carolina" (2009) and "Sinners Like Me" (2006).
Church was set to appear at this year's Schaeffer Eye Center Crawfish Boil in Birmingham, according to Pollstar, but the May 4 show was nixed before the festival's official schedule was announced. However, two of Church's tourmates, Brantley Gilbert and Blackberry Smoke, did perform at the Crawfish Boil.
Church's popularity in Alabama has increased over the past couple of years, with shows at Birmingham's Sloss Furnaces, the Alpha Psi Rodeo in Auburn, the Crossroads in Huntsville and the Amphitheater at the Wharf in Orange Beach.
He'll also perform on Thursday at the BamaJam festival in Enterprise.
Church recently made waves in the country music world with an outspoken interview in Rolling Stone, where he slammed TV singing competitions such as "The Voice."
Two other country artists -- Blake Shelton, a mentor on "The Voice," and his wife, Miranda Lambert, who first came to public attention on "Nashville Star" -- responded with anger and disappointment via Twitter.
Church later issued a statement apologizing for his comments and clarifying his position on reality TV. Basically, it said he was critical of the shows' formats and approach, but respected the artists who appeared on them.
