Who Is Russell Dickerson?

Russell Dickerson is known for his electrifying performances and “unstoppable energy fans can’t get enough of.” The Tennessee native has established himself as one of country music’s most consistent hitmakers and dynamic live performers.

After bursting onto the scene, Dickerson quickly stood out as he released four consecutive career-starting singles that reached number one on the Billboard Country Airplay chart. His platinum-certified hits include:

• “Yours” (3x Platinum)
• “Blue Tacoma” (2x Platinum)
• “She Likes It” featuring Jake Scott (2x Platinum)

About the RUSSELLMANIA Tour

Following the success of his sold-out “Big Wheels & Back Roads” tour, Dickerson is ready to go big with his wrestling-themed RUSSELLMANIA concept. The tour name playfully references WWE’s WrestleMania, with Dickerson bringing the same theatrical energy and crowd interaction to his country shows. Fans can expect his signature blend of heartfelt ballads and high-energy anthems from his latest album Famous Back Home.

The San Diego date marks one of three newly announced West Coast stops, alongside Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado, and The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. Dasha and Niko Moon will join select dates on the tour.

Wrestling Theme Connection: The wrestling-themed tour name comes just months after WWE Survivor Series visited Petco Park in November 2025, proving San Diego has an appetite for both authentic wrestling and wrestling-inspired entertainment.
