Join us for an unforgettable evening with legendary country music band Exile, as they take the stage at the Historic Shuler Theater in Raton, New Mexico, headlining this year’s Gate City Music Festival.

Formed in 1963 in Richmond, Kentucky, Exile became a crossover success with 18 chart hits, including the 1978 pop smash “Kiss You All Over” and 10 country No. 1 singles like “Woke Up In Love” and “Give Me One More Chance.” Still touring with its original members, the band celebrated its 60th anniversary in 2023 while promoting its latest album, A Million Miles Later.
