Billy Ray Cyrus and Lil Nas X to come to Caesars Windsor

Country singer Billy Ray Cyrus and rapper Lil Nas X will be riding into town this fall on the success of their hit "Old Town Road".

The two artists are booked to perform at Colosseum at Caesars Windsor on October 17.

The break country/rap track had become an instant viral hit on the social media app TikTok before it became the first song to chart on both Billboard's hip-hop/rap and country charts.

Billy Ray Cyrus rose to country music fame in the early 1990s with the release of his single "Achy Breaky Heart". It went platinum and garnered Cyrus a Country Music Award for Single of the Year.

Since then, Cyrus has released 12 albums and 44 singles, including "Some Gave All", "Busy Man", and "Ready, Set, Don't Go" which he recorded with his daughter Miley Cyrus.

Tickets went on sale on Friday at the Caesars Windsor Box Office and online at caesarswindsor.com and ticketmaster.ca.

Guests must be 19-years or older to attend concerts and enter the casino.
