Kicking off on February 13 in Springfield, IL, Young will make stops throughout the U.S., Canada, Australia, Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands, Germany and the UK. A road dog who has been touring non-stop for years, Young is switching it up, bringing fans a different kind of live show than they’ve seen in recent years from the Country superstar. The Back To Basics World Tour 2025 will find Young doing what he does best with a stripped back, more personal concert experience and letting the music shine.

Public onsale begins on Friday, December 6, at 10 a.m. local. VIP packages will be available for all dates. To purchase tickets, visit brettyoungmusic.com/tour.
“Next year is going to be a lot of fun. I can’t tell you how long I’ve wanted to do a tour like this where there aren’t any bells and whistles to distract from the music,” shares Young. “This tour is solely about the songs and the stories behind them being played by the best musicians around. I’ve always been a song person, and I’m so excited to finally share the music in its purest form.”
Young, a Southern California native who has become known for his signature “Caliville” style, took it back to where it all began for him, previewing the upcoming world tour at the Hotel Café in Los Angeles last night (12/2). Tonight (12/3), he’ll perform a sold-out show at the famed Troubadour in Los Angeles.

The tour kicks off in Paris, France, in October before moving through the UK and Europe. Tyla will then begin the North American leg in San Francisco on November 13, followed by a stop at Vancouver’s Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre on November 15.
The singer will return to Canada later in the run for a November 26 performance at Toronto’s Coca-Cola Coliseum. From there, she’ll continue through the United States before heading back to Africa for shows in Lagos, Cape Town, and her hometown of Johannesburg, where the tour will wrap up.
