The Into The W!LD Tour follows RUSS’ tour from last year in support of his album SANTIAGO where he headlined sold out arenas including The Forum in LA and Barclays in NYC along with an extensive EU/UK tour that followed. The new album, W!LD, is a deeply personal one for Russ as it focuses on the new perspective he has on the unpredictability of life and the tug and pull between resisting challenges and embracing them. As he begins to look inward and examine what the future holds for himself personally and musically, W!LD is an in depth exploration of Russ’s journey into the unknown. To date, Russ has amassed over a staggering 22 billion career streams.
