What Lainey Wilson has on her rider and Wynonna Judd to perform in Colorado | Music City Minute

May 23, 2024, 3:10 PM | Updated: 3:10 pm

A few artists’ riders have become legendary. Riders are basically a list of requirements that a venue needs to fulfill for an act to perform. Van Halen had one with the brown M&M stipulation. Jennifer Lopez and Mariah Carey supposedly require the backstage area to be covered in white with luxury furniture and flowers. However, Lainey Wilson’s rider is surprisingly down to earth. All she needs is throat coat tea, a kettle, lemon cough drops, whisky and water. Wilson admits that maybe she should bougie-up her rider, because many of her friends ask for a lot more.
Wynonna Judd has released dates for the next leg of her “Back to Wy” tour. The country icon will perform through September into early October. She will be stopping at the Pikes Peak Center in Colorado Springs on September 11. Tickets on sale at Wynonna.com.
I’m Sheena, and that’s your Music City Minute.
