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.

Beck Announces Ride Lonesome Single & Tour
Yesterday, eight-time GRAMMY winner Beck unveiled the stunning new surprise single, “Ride Lonesome.”
Today, Beck follows that hypnotically sublime ballad with the announcement of the Ride Lonesome Tour, a 25-date trek stopping at some of North America’s most renowned theaters and amphitheaters.
The Ride Lonesome Tour, promoted by Live Nation, will kick off September 16 at Vancouver’s Queen Elizabeth Theatre, with stops including the Santa Barbara Bowl, the Greek in L.A., Red Rocks, two nights each at The Masonic in SF, Massey Hall in Toronto and the Brooklyn Paramount, and more, before concluding October 31 at The Truth in Nashville.
Tickets for Beck’s Ride Lonesome Tour go on sale Friday, April 24 at 10am local time. For further information, go to Beck.com.
Produced by Beck and Mixed by Nigel Godrich, the song “Ride Lonesome” evokes the beautiful and haunting sonic landscapes and textures of 2015 Album of the Year GRAMMY winner Morning Phase and its spiritual predecessor, 2002’s classic Sea Change—and features multiple musicians who played on those milestone releases. From the resonant acoustic guitar strains of its opening to the emotional peaks of its final chorus, this long-awaited new original composition is the first indication of a different yet familiar direction for Beck in the year ahead.
Citi is the official card of the Beck: Ride Lonesome Tour. Citi cardmembers will have access to presale tickets beginning Tuesday, April 21 at 11am local time until Thursday, April 23 at 10pm local time through the Citi Entertainment program. For complete presale details visit www.citientertainment.com.
