Wynonna Judd and Melissa Etheridge at Bethel Woods | June 28, 2026
Wynonna Judd and Melissa Etheridge bring their first-ever co-headlining tour to Bethel Woods on Sunday, June 28 — a pairing that reads as obvious only in retrospect. The Raised on Radio Tour, a 27-date run across amphitheaters, pavilions, and casinos from late June through September, puts a Country Music Hall of Famer and a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominee on the same stage for the first time, splitting the night between two career-spanning sets that have largely run parallel on the FM dial since the late 1980s.
Two Catalogs, One Stage
Wynonna Judd needs little introduction in this part of the country. A five-time Grammy winner with five consecutive platinum solo albums after her run with The Judds, she has been one of country music’s most identifiable voices for more than four decades, and she returns to the genre’s heritage circuit each summer with the unhurried authority that only mileage can produce. Etheridge brings a different lineage to the bill — a Grammy and Academy Award winner whose self-titled 1988 debut helped redraw the lines of mainstream rock, and whose songbook (“Come to My Window,” “Bring Me Some Water”) has aged into something closer to standard than nostalgia.
The tour’s premise — songs the two artists grew up listening to, alongside their own catalogs — gives the night more shape than a typical co-bill. Both performers have pledged $1 from every ticket sold to charitable beneficiaries including The Etheridge Foundation, which funds opioid use disorder research. The Bethel Woods date sits between stops at the Chautauqua Institution Amphitheater on June 27 and Ohio’s Rose Music Center on June 30 — mid-route on a tour that opens June 24 at Wolf Trap.
About the Venue
The 16,000-capacity Pavilion at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts sits on the same Sullivan County hillside that hosted the 1969 Woodstock festival — a fact the venue wears with appropriate weight rather than as costume. The outdoor amphitheater at 200 Hurd Road in Bethel pairs a covered pavilion with a sloping lawn, and on a clear summer evening it belongs to the upper tier of Hudson Valley rooms.
Tickets & Show Times
Pavilion tickets range from $57.50 to $184.50, including taxes and fees. Parking lots open at 3:00 PM and general gates open at 6:00 PM ahead of the 7:00 PM showtime.
