Celebrating over 10 years of All Things Go, it is available digitally and on limited-edition vinyl + CD, with full tracklist and order information HERE.

In 2023, All Things Go launched a partnership with The Ally Coalition (TAC), founded in 2013 by Jack Antonoff (Bleachers) and fashion designer Rachel Antonoff,  to further support LGBTQ+ youth through on-site programming and artist-driven engagement across its festival platforms. 

All Things Go co-founders Stephen Villamarescu and Will Suter say: “Celebrating ten years of All Things Go is a meaningful milestone for us. The festival has always been driven by a belief in creativity with purpose, and this compilation brings together artists who embody that spirit while supporting The Ally Coalition and its important work.”

All Things Go is celebrating over a decade of festivals, originating in the Washington, D.C. area before expanding to New York in 2024, and hosted its inaugural Toronto 2025 edition last weekend. Known for its intentional focus on female and non-binary-led lineups, the festival reflects All Things Go’s ongoing commitment to cultivating diverse, inclusive spaces within the music community. This year’s ATG Festival editions at Columbia, MD’s Merriweather Post Pavilion and New York’s Forest Hills Stadium saw female and LGBTQ+ artists at the forefront and headlining again, with Doechii, Lucy Dacus, Clairo, Kesha, MARINA, The Mariás, Lola Young, etc performing on September 26, 27, and 28. Reneé Rapp, Kacey Musgraves, Remi Wolf, and Role Model headlined Toronto 2025 on October 4th and 5th.

ARTIST QUOTES: 
Rachel Chinouriri says: “I wrote it about growing up in a tiny part of Croydon called “Forestdale” which felt like a level of peace when I was inside alone. There was a degree of peace I felt back then that I was never able to find again and I am craving that feeling again.”

Kesha about “Tennessee”: “Making this song with Orville, Tayla and Hudson was so much fun. I felt safe to explore my southern roots and excited entering a room with these artists I’ve looked up to for years and making music that felt real and honest. They’re all inspiring creatives who just want to make great music. Knowing it’s helping The Ally Coalition makes it even more special, I’m so proud to finally let the world hear what Orville and I have cooked up. Enjoy!”

Maren Morris shares: “Welcome to The End” is a song about the mental sacrifices you’ll make to achieve your dream. It’s not a straight or pretty path to get there, but your own resilience can surprise you. I’m so happy we can devote its release and message to The Ally Coalition as well as my friend and collaborator, Jack Antonoff’s studio initiative to help integrate recording studios into LGBTQ+ youth shelters.”

Juliana Madrid & ella jane, the indie-pop kindreds join forces on a hauntingly beautiful song “Sky King” about Richard “Beebo” Russell, the Horizon Air ground agent who, in 2018, stole a plane from Seattle, performed aerial stunts, and fatally crashed on Ketron Island. Remembered as “Sky King,” his story embodies the hidden struggles behind seemingly ordinary lives, rendered here with soft, tender grace. The release date, September 19, 2025 would have been his 36th birthday.

googly eyes, Joy Oladokun + August Ponthier’s poignant “Jesus and John Wayne” is a bold, soul-searching anthem about reclaiming faith from the grip of politics and exclusion, inspired by the NYT Bestselling novel by Kristin Kobes Du Mez. Written by googly eyes joined by Joy Oladokun and August Ponthier, it reimagines spirituality as a source of healing, belonging, and radical love, especially for those the church has pushed aside. The song has clearly struck a chord with listeners already, finding consistent virality on socials ahead. NPR covered the track, quoting “This could be the song of 2025. Sonically, it’s a sweeping ballad that’s not too far off from Miley Cyrus’ or Kesha’s more Nashville-leaning ballads. The song’s repurposing of Music Row-style grandiloquence in service of progressive politics reflects the moral and ethical quandaries consuming many people right now, and with its rich harmonies building to a cathartic climax, it effectively translates its political views into affecting emotional language.”

jasmine.4.t about “Find Ur Ppl”: “Find Ur Ppl is a song I wrote a few years ago, early in my transition. This was when I first moved to Manchester and met my community, including my best friend Yulia Trot aka YBT, who put me up on her sofa and supported me in presenting as a woman for the first time. Yulia is sadly currently being held in prison without trial as a political prisoner. She is one of the Filton 24, who are alleged to have broken into an Israeli weapons factory in the UK and destroyed £1 million worth of weapons. We recorded Find Ur Ppl originally for You Are The Morning (YBT Deluxe), an extended version of my debut record which is dedicated to Yulia. It means the world to me to release this new version of the song which features my friend (and recent Mercury Prize nominee!) Jacob Alon, who is a member of the queer community and very much one of the people I was hoping to find when I wrote this song. Their voice and their writing is so beautiful and I have been lucky enough to catch them live several times this year. Their voice brings so much to this song, and collaborating with them was really a dream come true.”

Medium Build and Sydney Rose add: “This song is the most beautiful snapshot of human insecurity. I remember the first time I heard it thinking “omg did she just say she wants to shoot herself?! You can’t say that!” , even though I thought about doing that all the time. I love how honest Charli is about her internal conflict. “I couldn’t even be her if I tried” literally. All the wars in our head are so bogus and thoughts are rarely valid at all. This song came at a perfect time where we all wanted to be hot and perfect and bouncing back into life. Brat summer and pink pony club and Espresso. It was all good vibes but Charli also said it’s cool if you’re an insecure piece of shit. I love her.  Sydney and I related on being insecure little weirdos from neighboring towns in Georgia. I love her. I couldn’t even be Sydney Rose if I tried. But I do want to see her backstage at my boyfriend’s show.”

Bartees Strange adds: “One of my favorite songs from people in this part of the world is “DC Will Do That To You” by Smart Went Crazy. Content wise this song doesn’t have much to do with theirs, other than I feel like a big part of who I am is because of DC and what I feel like it did to and for me. This song is just me, wandering through the DMV – things seen and heard in a uniquely lovely and upside down place.”

Emei about “Talk Talk Talk’: “I’m so happy I get the chance to release “Talk Talk Talk” on the All Things Go anniversary album. I’m honored to be among such incredible artists and to be able to contribute at all to The Ally Coalition. I haven’t released a single since February and a lot has happened since then. I’ve gone on tour. I’ve lost loved ones. I’ve lost friends. I’ve gone through grief and depression and back. This year has been a huge year of growth and music making. I’m working on an entirely new project and era but before I can let everyone fully into that world, I wanted to release this diss track of mine that touches briefly upon all the BS I’ve gone through this year. Sometimes you don’t have control over what someone says about you behind your back. And man oh man is Los Angeles filled with people who love to “Talk Talk Talk”. This song is a diss track yes, but also a manifestation of a sort that’s telling me that I can always brush the BS thrown my way off my shoulders. People will always have something to say and you can’t control everyone’s narratives so just let them “Talk Talk Talk” while I keep my head down and continue working hard for me but also for my fans. I hope everyone treats the song as the emotional outlet as it was for me! And get excited and ready for this next chapter!!”

Maude Latour about Green Tea (Demo): “i wrote this song back in 2019 and my fans have been asking for me to release it since. this song captures a moment in my life i’ll never forget— a breakup, late december, and wondering about my place in the world. i vividly remember wanting to read every single book on the shelves, to call my sister, go out dancing, kiss a stranger, and find myself somehow amongst all of it. oh also my favorite drink is ice green tea.”

“When I approached covering “Funeral,” I wanted to lean into its quiet heaviness and let it live in a darker, more cinematic world. I drew from the shadowy romance of Chris Isaak and the dreamlike haze of Mazzy Star, layering reverb, slide guitar, and murky textures to make it feel like the song is suspended between grief and beauty.” – Susannah Joffe

“I’m so excited to be featuring on this record with Susannah Joffe, I’m a huge fan of hers, and Phoebe Bridgers is an artist I’ve looked up to for years, so the fact that it’s a cover of her work makes it even more special. Funeral speaks a lot to me as a fellow sad girl.” – Baby Nova

Luke Combs Announces 12 New Stadium Shows for 2027 ‘My Kinda Saturday Night Tour’

Published

on

Luke-Combs-tour2027

Luke Combs is extending his My Kinda Saturday Night Tour into 2027, announcing 12 new stadium shows across the United States.

The new dates continue the tour that Combs launched in 2026, though fans can expect a different lineup of opening acts. Treaty Oak Revival, Avery Anna, Shenandoah and Wyatt McCubbin will join Combs at various stops throughout the 2027 run.

The tour takes its name from “My Kinda Saturday Night,” a song from Combs’ latest album, The Way I Am. The singer recently wrapped the 2026 leg with three sold-out performances at London’s Wembley Stadium.

For now, the 12 newly announced stadium concerts are the only dates listed on Combs’ official tour calendar. Tickets for all 12 shows go on sale August 21.

The announcement had been teased throughout the week, with several venues revealing details before Combs officially announced the dates on Thursday morning.

The limited schedule reflects a shift in how Combs is approaching life on the road. With three young children — ages four, nearly three and six months — the singer has spoken about putting more time aside for his family. The days of spending most of the week away from home may be becoming less common for the country star.

That does not mean Combs is stepping away from the stage. Every 2027 date announced so far is scheduled at a football stadium with a capacity of at least 60,000 people.

The strategy is similar to one adopted by several major country artists in recent years, including Morgan Wallen: fewer shows in much larger venues. Rather than spending months on the road playing arenas and smaller venues, Combs can reach a large audience with a limited number of performances.

For fans, that makes each stop a bigger event. For Combs, it offers a way to keep touring while spending more time at home with his family.

Tickets go on sale August 21.

Tour Dates for Luke Combs 2027 ‘My Kinda Saturday Night Tour’:

April 3 — Arlington, Texas @ AT&T Stadium
April 10 — Minneapolis, Minn. @ U.S. Bank Stadium
April 17 — Detroit, Mich. @ Ford Field
April 24 — Philadelphia, Pa. @ Lincoln Financial Field
May 1 — Foxborough, Mass. @ Gillette Stadium
May 8 — Pittsburgh, Pa. @ Acrisure Stadium
May 15 — Kansas City, Mo. @ Arrowhead Stadium
May 29 — Edmonton, Alb. Canada @ Commonwealth Stadium
June 5 — Vancouver, B.C. Canada @ BC Place
June 12 — Boise, Idaho @ Albertsons Stadium
June 19 — Denver, Colo. @ Empower Field at Mile High
June 26 — San Diego, Calif. @ Petco Park
