Ben Rector’s The Richest Man in the World

Ben Rector is bringing The Richest Man in the World Tour with The National Parks to the Walmart AMP on Thursday, Sept. 25, as part of the 2025 Cox Concert Series. Gates open at 6:30 pm. Music starts at 8 pm.

Presales start on Tuesday, Feb. 18 at 10 am. Tickets go on sale to the public at 10 am on Friday, Feb. 21. Standard ticket prices range from $29.50 – $99.50 plus applicable fees.

Fifteen years after starting his career writing songs and touring in his Honda Accord on the weekends, Rector found himself at home and at the piano in March 2020. The alchemy of life’s big questions, more downtime than he’d had in a decade, and those now all-too-familiar “unprecedented times” resulted in his career album: The Joy of Music. The project includes a breathtaking short film (featuring seven songs brought to life with stunning cinematography), inviting listeners and viewers to visit a dream world that communicates Rector’s creative process and his reckoning with his job as an artist. He is led through the film’s chapters by his new friend Joy, a muppet monster he created with Jim Henson’s Creature Shop. In this fantastic and dream-like landscape we see and hear Rector overcome a deep-seated fear of

failure, dancing and singing his way through the journey of rediscovering the joy of music.

Rector has amassed over a billion streams across all platforms, has performed on numerous late night and morning TV shows including “Conan,” “The Today Show,” “Jimmy Kimmel,” “Live With Kelly And Ryan,” The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, and as a celebrity mentor on “American Idol” alongside Ryan Tedder, Jewel, Brian McKnight, Jason Aldean and more. His records have topped numerous Billboard charts, with his last two records landing at No. 1 on Billboard’s US Folk and No. 2 on Billboard’s US Rock and US Indie charts. Rector has built a dedicated touring base, regularly selling out theaters and amphitheaters across the country, including three consecutive nights at the legendary Ryman Auditorium in Nashville.

Add-ons for the 2025 season include reserved parking, AMP Underground, Fast Track, collectible tickets and lawn chair rentals. Concert tickets and add-ons for this show will be delivered digitally via Ticketmaster.
