Whitcomb – who recently stole the show at Indio, CA’s Stagecoach with a fully packed Palomino Stage performance – is fast proving himself as one of the hardest working live acts in music today on a busy schedule that includes his Fragile Egos Tour, an ongoing run of North American headline shows produced by Live Nation resuming June 2 at Detroit, MI’s SOLD-OUT Saint Andrew’s Hall following SOLD-OUT stops at such notable venues as Boston, MA’s Citizens House of Blues Boston, New York City’s historic Irving Plaza, Charlottesville, VA’s The Jefferson Theatre, and more. Meanwhile, Whitcomb is currently traveling Down Under on a long anticipated headline tour of Australia and New Zealand, with all dates now sold out including additional shows added in some markets due to overwhelming demand.

As if all that weren’t enough, Whitcomb will also continue to support HARDY on THE COUNTRY! COUNTRY! TOUR!, with dates set across the US and Canada into the summer. A number of top-billed festival performances are also slated, including Fergus, ON’s Meadows Music Festival (May 29), Vancouver, BC’s FIFA Fan Festival (June 14), Bloomington, IL’s Tailgate N’ Tallboys (June 20), Dauphin, MB’s Dauphin’s Countryfest (June 27), Fort McMurray, AB’s Hello Summer Festival (July 5), Craven, SK’s Country Thunder Saskatchewan (July 11), Three Forks, MT’s Headwaters Country Jam (July 23), Chicago, IL’s Lollapalooza (August 1), Camrose, AB’s Big Valley Jamboree (August 2), and more.

Whitcomb’s non-stop tour schedule follows the recent arrival of his acclaimed new EP, Deep Water, available now via Atlantic Outpost HERE. Limited edition CDs will arrive soon with pre-orders open now HERE. Born from a renewed obsession with the craft of songwriting, the 5-song project is highlighted by the explosive single, “Kingdom of Fear,” available HERE alongside an official lyric video streaming now HERE. The high-octane track – which Billboardpraised as “an emotionally charged folk-rock song fronted by Whitcomb’s raw, gritty vocals and a fervent guitar” – has fast proven a sensation, marking the Nanaimo, BC native’s highest-charting song to date in the US, Australia, the UK, and his home country of Canada while also landing as his second consecutive instant debut on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100. Next week will see Whitcomb perform “Kingdom of Fear” with American Idol finalist Brooks Rosser on the Season 24 Finale, airing live Monday, May 11 at 8:00 pm (ET) on ABC and Disney+.

Deep Water also includes the dynamic title track, “Deep Water,” joined by an official live performance video streaming now on YouTube HERE. Filmed on stage at Boston, MA’s sold-out Citizens House of Blues Boston, the new visual captures Whitcomb’s unstoppable live energy in front of the more than 2,700 enraptured fans – the biggest solo headline show of his career to date. The EP is further highlighted by the tender “You and Me,” available now HERE. Hailed by Billboard as “an emotional, heartfelt folk-rock song characterized by his soft, weathered vocals and a stomp-clap rhythm,” the track immediately debuted on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 upon its March arrival.

Whitcomb was among the most triumphant stars at Canada’s 55th Annual JUNO Awards earlier this year, taking home both “Breakthrough Artist or Group of the Year Presented by FACTOR, the Government of Canada and Canada’s Private Radio Broadcasters,” and “Country Album of the Year” (for his critically acclaimed debut album, The Hard Way). Along with accepting the two prestigious honors – which follow an additional pair of recent wins at the Canadian Country Music Awards (CCMA) – Whitcomb delivered an electrifying performance of his hit “Options,” capped off by an unforgettable backflip on the catwalk which quickly went viral following the star-studded event.

Whitcomb kicked off what’s rapidly proving a landmark 2026 with “All Your’n (Amazon Music Original)” an Amazon Music Original cover of the Tyler Childers fan favorite available to stream and purchase now exclusively on Amazon Music. An official live performance video can be viewed now via YouTube HERE.

Last year saw Whitcomb take a giant step forward with his acclaimed debut album, The Hard Way, joined by an expanded Deluxe Edition available now via Atlantic Records HERE. The album debuted at #1 on the Country Albums chart in Whitcomb’s home country of Canada, earning Gold certification and quickly surpassing 500 million streams nationwide thanks to such emotionally raw singles as the breakout fan favorite “Quitter,” the brutally self-aware “Hundred Mile High,” the defiant “Options,” the hopeful “Fragile,” the gut-punching title track, and the chart-climbing hit, “Medusa, the latter joined by a live performance video streaming HERE. A deeply personal look at Whitcomb’s turbulent journey – from early struggles with addiction to his remarkable recovery and personal growth – The Hard Way is further anchored by the powerful “Call For You,” written as a tribute to his mom. The Deluxe Edition adds five very special bonus tracks, including “End of the Morning,” a previously unheard collaboration with indie folk artist Evan Honer, as well as the standout track, “Problem,” joined by an exclusive “Amazon Music presents” live performance video streaming HERE.

With over 7.5M monthly listeners on Spotify, 4.5M+ followers across social platforms, and over 835M+ global streams to date, Whitcomb is riding high after what truly proved a landmark 2025 for the Nanaimo, BC-based artist. Named the 2025 recipient of CMA’s Jeff Walker Global Country Artist Award, recognizing outstanding achievements by a Country Music artist who is originally based internationally, Whitcomb was among the big winners at the 2025 Canadian Country Music Awards (CCMA), taking home the “Breakthrough Artist of the Year” and “Fans’ Choice” awards amidst six total nominations. Whitcomb also made his Canadian TV debut at the CCMA Awards with an energetic live performance of “Quitter,” streaming HERE.

In a world that often prizes surface-level honesty, Whitcomb stands out as an artist with the courage to confront uncomfortable truths. After leaving home at age 17 to work on a pipeline, the British Columbia native discovered his passion for singing and devoted himself to music. He broke through with his 2024 debut EP, Quitter – a fearless collection of country/folk songs inspired by his journey through addiction and recovery. Since then, the 22-year-old singer-songwriter has skyrocketed, landing on 2025 Artist to Watch lists from Spotify and Amazon Music, releasing his full-length debut, The Hard Way, and traveling the world on increasingly popular tours including his biggest North American headline run thus far, the I’ve Got Options Tour, which saw him packing houses from coast-to-coast including a sold-out two-night stand at Los Angeles, CA’s iconic Troubadour.

Stella Lefty Announces 2027 Headline ‘Long Way Home Tour’

Published

on

StellaLefty_2026_National

Today, rising singer-songwriter Stella Lefty announced a 2027 headline tour across North America in support of her debut album Long Way Home, which was released this past Friday via Atlantic Outpost. Listen HERE

Promoted by Live Nation, the tour kicks off on Saturday, January 9 at The Fillmore in Detroit, MI before making stops in Toronto, Montreal, Boston, Brooklyn, Atlanta, Nashville, San Francisco, and more, culminating with a hometown show at Chicago’s Aragon Ballroom on Saturday, February 20. The 2027 headline run follows Stella’s sold-out tour and festival performances across North America and Australia this fall.

The announcement comes on the heels of Lefty’s debut album release, Long Way Home, which represents a full circle moment for the Chicago-born musician that reflects the pop country influences that shaped Stella and sparked her passion to create music, reconnecting her with the sound that first inspired her to become an artist. The album features seven new songs in addition to seven previously released tracks including hit singles “Boston” and “Thinking ‘bout You”. Upon release, the project was quickly praised by the likes of Billboard, NPR, and Vanity Fair and now helps set the stage for her Opry debut on September 2nd. 

The tour caps off a breakout year for Lefty, whose breakout “Boston” has amassed more than 400 million streams and over 1 billion video views, while reaching the Top 3 on the Billboard Hot 100. The track has dominated the charts for the last 19 weeks, while gaining at both Country and Pop Radio too. Stella made her late night debut with “Boston” on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and performed it last weekend with Marcus Mumford on stage at Madison Square Garden. It also just received a MTV Video Music Awards nomination in the “Best Country” category, in addition to Stella’s nomination for “Best New Artist”.

Simultaneously, Lefty continues to sell out headline tour dates after landing slots at standout festivals including CMA Fest, Lollapalooza, Osheaga and ACL as she also has taken the stage alongside shows for Mumford & Sons, Jessie Murph, and Cameron Whitcomb.

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
