10-14 UPDATE: Due to a tour scheduling change, the start time has been moved up.

Country music singer Brad Paisley will make a stop in Lawrence next month for a free outdoor concert on the University of Kansas campus.

Paisley will perform after 7:30 p.m., Friday, Oct. 14, at KU parking lot 94, which is east of Memorial Stadium. No tickets will be required, and members of the public may attend, according to a news release.
