More hits coming to Modesto’s Fruit Yard Amphitheater as new artist announced

A fourth show has been added to the upcoming season at Modesto’s Fruit Yard Amphitheater: country star Cole Swindell.

The multiplatinum artist will perform 7 p.m. Thursday, June 11, at the outdoor venue.

Tickets go on sale to the public at 10 a.m. Friday, March 13, on Ticketmaster.

“With a reputation for delivering one of the most entertaining shows in country music, Cole Swindell has built a career on undeniable hooks, heartfelt storytelling and stadium-sized singalongs,” according to a press release on the Fruit Yard show.

Swindell’s hits include “Chillin’ It,” “You Should Be Here,” “Single Saturday Night” and “She Had Me At Heads Carolina.”

“Chillin’ It” was Swindell’s first hit, arriving in 2013, according to a story on the Country 102.5 website.

“Before that time, he was a Nashville songwriter who moved to town from his native Georgia in 2007 and penned songs like 2013’s ‘This Is How We Roll’ for Florida Georgia Line and 2014’s ‘Roller Coaster’ for Luke Bryan,” the story says.

Swindell sold T-shirts for Bryan before moving to Nashville and beginning to write his own music, according to the story.

Swindell joins Warren Zeiders (April 22), Scotty McCreary (May 8) and Mitchell Tenpenny (May 23) on the 2026 Fruit Yard lineup.

Officially called The Fruit Yard Chicken Ranch Casino Resort Amphitheater, it’s at 7948 Yosemite Blvd. There is lawn and reserved seating to accommodate about 3,500 people.
