Eric Church will be the latest country headliner to make a stop in Toledo. The hard-rocking North Carolina native will be at the Huntington Center on Thursday, May 10, as part of his “The Blood, Sweat & Beers Tour.”

His appearance will follow a scheduled March 22 Huntington Center show by Miranda Lambert and an April 14 stop at the Stranahan Theater by Trace Adkins.

Church had a breakout year in 2011 with the release of his third album, “Chief.” The disc debuted atop the Billboard 200 albums chart and was No. 1 on the Country Albums chart for two weeks. It produced the recent chart-topper “Drink in My Hand.”

Up-and-coming artist Brantley Gilbert and southern rock band Blackberry Smoke will be opening for Church.

General admission floor tickets are $42.50 and reserved seats are $34.75. Tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. and can be purchased at the Huntington Center box office, all Ticketmaster locations, by phone at 1-800-745-3000, or online at ticketmaster.com.
