Advance tickets are also available at all NBT locations in Susquehanna County; My Cuppa Coffee, 158 Church St., Montrose; and Andre & Son True Value, SR 706, Montrose.

There will be ample parking in the downtown area, and an ID will be required to receive a wristband and glass.

Tickets will also be available at the gate, located on Public Ave., for $30.

All proceeds from the event will benefit United Way of Susquehanna County.

Irving is currently working on new music and is set to play around 125 shows for 2023.
