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.

Kehlani Announces the Kehlani World Tour: North America
Today, 2x GRAMMY® Award winning R&B powerhouse Kehlani announced THE KEHLANI WORLD TOUR: North America. The 33-date tour, presented by Live Nation, is set to take over stages across North America.
THE KEHLANI WORLD TOUR kicks off in North America on August 6th in Minneapolis, MN at The Armory hitting major cities including Los Angeles, New York, Boston, San Francisco, Dallas, Atlanta, and more, before wrapping up on October 3rd in San Francisco, CA at Shoreline Amphitheatre. Special guests Durand Bernarr, Isaia Huron, TheARTI$t, and WASEEL will join as support on select North America dates.
Kehlani continues her standout 2026 as her self-titled album, Kehlani, released last month, debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 with 69,000 equivalent album units earned – securing the biggest debut for an R&B album by a woman this year.
The project marks Kehlani’s fourth top 10 entry on the Billboard 200 and her third to land within the top 5. Across the charts, the album launches at #1 on the R&B Albums, #2 on Top Albums, #2 on Vinyl Albums, #5 on the Top Streaming Albums chart, and #5 on the Indie Stores Chart.
The album is powered by the massive success of “Folded,” which also earned Kehlani two GRAMMY® Awards this year for Best R&B Performance and Best R&B Song. “Folded” is also notably the longest-running #1 song in Billboard Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart history, topping the respectable chart for over 17 weeks and counting. The track continues to resonate globally, now cemented as one of her most impactful records with its 2x Platinum certification.
Kehlani marks her first full-length release since her 2024 mixtape, While We Wait 2, ushering in a new era for the artist. With continued chart dominance and cultural impact, Kehlani solidifies her position as one of the defining voices in modern R&B.
TICKETS: Tickets will be available starting with an artist presale beginning on Wednesday, May 27, at 10 am local time. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on sale beginning on Friday, May 29 at 10 am local time at kehlaniworldtour.com.
