LEXINGTON, Ky. (April 16, 2025) — The Tyler Childers “On the Road” concert is scheduled for Saturday, April 19, at Kroger Field. This event is expected to draw a large fan base and will require vehicle relocation for some parking permit holders.
Kentucky native S.G. Goodman is expected to take the stage at Kroger Field at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, followed by Wynonna Judd. Childers will perform beginning around 9 p.m. For more details about the concert, visit ukathletics.com/tyler-childers-kroger-field-concert-information/.
Parking impacts
Individuals can begin the vehicle relocation process to regular season football game day relocation areas starting as early as 3:30 p.m. Friday. All vehicles must be relocated prior to 8 p.m. Friday.
These permit holder types may be affected: E10, C10, R10, EK, CK, RK, Professional CK, R7, E7.

Campus parking options increase considerably after 3:30 p.m. on Fridays and through the weekends. In addition, this concert will take place the Saturday before Easter, so many students will already be off campus for that holiday.

- Cornerstone Garage (PS #5)
- Press Avenue Garage (PS #6)

Please pay attention to signage at the entrances to lots and structures to ensure that your vehicle is not moved into an area that is controlled for permits 24 hours a day, seven days a week. These areas include residential lots and structures and areas marked as reserved.
Campus bus service
The weekend Yellow Route will continue to run on the day of the concert, but the buses will not access the Tobacco Research, Blue Lot or Red Lot stops. Yellow Route buses will instead use Cooper Drive as their southernmost stop, like typical football game day bus service.
