Role Model Announces ‘No Place Like Tour’ World Tour
Role Model will be touring the world in support of his sophomore album, Kansas Anymore (Interscope Records). He’ll launch the UK/European leg of the tour in Dublin, IE at The Academy on November 10, 2024. In early February 2025, he’ll play a series of shows in Australia and New Zealand. Produced by Live Nation, the North American leg will kick off in Phoenix at The Van Buren on February 24 and include shows at 9:30 Club in Washington, DC (March 11), New York’s Brooklyn Paramount (March 15) and The Wiltern in Los Angeles (April 1). See below for the itinerary for the No Place Like Tour world tour.
Fans can sign up now for the password to the artist pre-sale, which begins on Tuesday, September 10, at 10:00am local time. General on-sale begins on Friday, September 13, at 10:00am local time at https://RoleModel.lnk.to/NPLTour.
Role Model will be joined by special guests Matilda Mann in the UK, Medium Build in AU/NZ and Debbii Dawson on all North American dates except for Denver.
With over 60 million combined global streams to date, Kansas Anymore is a folk-tinged, lyric driven album that encapsulates the warmth and comfort Role Model was seeking while grieving the end of his last relationship. Listen here.
Awarding Kansas Anymore four stars, DIY marveled that “a record ostensibly about heartbreak and homesickness can be so overwhelmingly fun, using both genre and trope in parallel ways with just the right level of self-awareness and humour along the way…” In another four-star review, Dork observed, “Role Model’s latest is an artful deviation from his debut, ‘Rx.’ It more boldly leans into folkish roots, choosing breezy, sun-tinged melodies even when navigating the album’s subject matter feels treacherous.”
Role Model is currently on the road with acclaimed singer-songwriter Gracie Abrams as special guest on her sold-out The Secret of Us tour.

Stella Lefty Announces 2027 Headline ‘Long Way Home Tour’
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’
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.
