LOUISVILLE — Former Vice President Joe Biden will appear in Louisville this June as part of his “American Promise Tour.”

The speech will take place on Thursday, June 7, at 8:00 PM, and will be held at Whitney Hall in the The Kentucky Center.

The tour is being promoted as a series of conversations that will go beyond the 24-hour news cycle and 140-character arguments to connect friends and neighbors around the topics that matter most.

Biden is expect to discuss his memoir Promise Me, Dad: A Year of Hope, Hardship, and Purpose. He will reveal the big political moments of his career, the life-altering choices he made, and the key traits that have helped him persevere through challenges. He will also share how the loss of his son Beau tested his resolve, and how he is finding new purpose in a time of uncertainty, according to a description on the Kentucky Center’s website.

Tickets will go on sale Friday, April 6, 2018 at 10:00 AM.
